Perhaps a better way to describe the largest deaf communities would be identifying those with the largest number of deaf folk (Going on that list, DC, NYC, LA) and those that have a high proportion/percent of deaf folks relative to national averages (Rochester, Clearwater). On a related...

While the family no doubt were total d-bags, the hospital ejected him not because of being gay but because he was making a scene. I've heard that he has been granted access again but can't remember the site or article that mentioned it. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

My experience with fat cats is not good. My ex's cat was a vicious beast that would act all "Oh, would sir pet me please? " And as soon as my hand got close enough... ATTACK! Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

I've heard the Clearwater area has a pretty decent sized deaf population but never saw anything official documenting it. I work in an area adjacent to CW, but only occasionally get any deaf folks. At which point I start cursing being mainstreamed and never having accessible sign language courses...

Im a managerin a customer service/retail environment so I come across LOTS of people that mumble the shizz out of everything, even when I ask them to speak up. But one kid really pissed me off. He said something I didn't catch and I asked him to repeat. He just stares at me all deadpan even...

So jealous. My Siemens Artis 2 give me more unwanted feedback than a bus full of backseat drivers. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

I'm not sure how adult your pride events get, but my sister is of the straight but not narrow crowd, and has taken her son to a couple; the last was when he was 11 or so. I would think most festivals would likely have a family friendly area for those with kids.

Aside from Pride always falling around the anniversary of my dad's death, I have no interest in going cause a fat dude in Florida needs no help in sweating his balls off. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

The GLBT lounge is a good place for meeting "family". Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

Well, this audiologist visit with the new doc went much better. Not only did she not try to bait and switch me, she's not interested in bilking my insurance company. She wants to get me into see some USF profs/researchers to see what the newest technology can tell us about my hearing and find...

Kevin Michael Connolly, born without legs, did a really awesome photo project taking pictures of people's reactions to him around the world. His book was pretty good as well Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

Surprised you didn't mention Matt Bomer, of White Collar and Magic Mike, or Zach Quinto from Heroes and Star Trek. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

I went to school in one of the 30 largest school districts in the country, and while there are certainly some crappy schools in our district, I do believe that it is a solid system. Aside from traditional schools, there are magnet programs at all levels for arts, sciences, gifted, etc. We have...

Well it may be more a function of where you live than a difference between Christians and other followers. Both Christianity and Islam are proselytizing faiths, they actively seek converts. I suspect that in Michigan you'd be seeing the Muslim equivalent to Witnesses. Judaism, while permitting...

I liked Mean Little Deaf Queer by Terry Galloway. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

Similar would be Cake Balls, where the first step is to bake a cake. Let it cool a bit before pulverizing it. Stir in a jar of frosting thoroughly. Freeze balls of the mixture overnight/dip into melted Almond Bark/Keep frozen until serving. While just as big a pain to make, there's a lot more...

If there's a theatre offering open captioned movies at select times, that could be a good one. I remember seeing Avatar a couple years ago at a sold out show and at least 25% were deaf. And when I saw Puss In Boots, lots of deaf families/kids for that show. Does not apply if they have closed...

While I consider them to be a pain, Oreo Truffles usually go over well. Off top of my head, you basically grind the shizz out of a package of Oreos. Then, stir in a package of cream cheese thoroughly. Form little balls and freeze overnight. Then, carefully melt a pan of Almond bark, available...

Well Starkey may be a moot point for me now. After my insurance approved claim but limited my Audi's markup, the Audi tried to bait and switch me for lower quality HA. So I dropped her and will be going to another audi to start the process over. Thankfully I've got a few other choices for...

Insurance is currently being difficult, but if I get the coverage I'm supposed to (90% after $500 deductible) then my projected 6800 pair will run me 1130. Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android
