    wHAT IS YOUR TALENT?

    I like to think that I have a talent predicting what people will say or do -- psychic mind-reader. ;) What else? I'm sure there's more, but nothing right off the top of my head.

    What is the one thing

    I'm also unique. I flow well between various "groups" and have not associated myself with a single 'label' or 'clique' I'm a natural leader too... I don't like "following" and tend to not be one. There's only one "KJ" here on this Earth ;) That's what I like the most about myself...

    Who living in Las Vegas, NV?

    I've got wonderful friends (deaf and hearing) living in LV now. I'm sure they don't use drugs (ugh, where do you find those kind of peeps?). I like Vegas, but I can't imagine myself living there... my best friend is starting a new job there in a month.

    i noticed my urine is very clear...

    Clear urine is pretty healthy... I wouldn't worry about it. I would only worry about it if blood is found in the urine or the urine isn't clear at all (that means, finding particles...) Clear urine isn't a sign of diabetes... I would go get checked for diabetes if urining frequently...

    Jury Duty

    I got summoned to jury duty twice. First one got waived because they couldn't get the services I needed (CART or interpreter). And the second got waived because I was going to school at the time, out of county. By the way, if I was summoned again, and I was able to get services, I wouldn't...

    Will there ever be a cure?

    I think the world needs to stay diverse, because otherwise the world will be so boring... I don't think there'll ever be a "cure" for deafness because deafness originized soo many years ago... there are tons of 'deaf' animals too, and i'm sure there were 'deaf' dinosaurs. I think parents...

    Study: Estrogen-Only Pills May Increase Alzheimer's Risk

    It may be genetic... all it says the pills increase the risk... just like something else increases the risk of breast cancer, etc etc. It seems everything in this world increases the risk for something else. Tsk. Don't be shocked, scientists and doctors like to publish stuff like that all the...

    Help me understand why...

    Yeah... don't move to California... there's tons of people, and the State of California really does not really have the funds to give that much to every person on SSDI. I know... I'm from and still in California. I have to live at my parents, even when I was living on my own, I couldn't...

    Help me understand why...

    Whoa, whoa... tell your friend that she's moving to California for the wrong reasons!!! Just to get an increase in SSDI?!?! Tsk tsk!! The economy in CA is tough, and I think your friend may be incorrect in her estimates -- still wrong!!

    Help me understand why...

    Oh, boy. Could you pass on the opportunities to me?? I'm on SSDI, and I really despite it. Sure, it's helpful.. but I'm so ready to get off of it. I am seeking a full-time job, and have been doing so for the last year. It's frustrating. I can't even afford to move out of my parents'...

    I am so mad for this!

    Um, some hospitals do not allow family or friends. But they SHOULD allow interpreters. Perhaps the information received from the doctor was incorrect (or they just didn't know what the heck they were talking about). Accommodations should be arranged, and if they still refuse that, then yes...

    I am so mad for this!

    Tweety, Like a few people said in here, the doctor isn't necessarily marking you as a crazied patient. S/He only had suggested that perhaps you would check-in the hospital and stay for a week or two. At least it's not longer. I'm sure they just want to see how you are in a...

    No it's still spelled Charlie. Charlee is just a modernized version of that.

    Thinking out loud?

    Well, I think some Deaf people have at one point in their lives been taught what words "sound" like by placing their hands on the speech therapist's throat or lips and on their own for comparsion. I've heard some words because I was born hearing and still 'remember' sounds before I became...

    Thinking out loud?

    Interesting question :) For me when I think of a word, I usually think of it phonetically (sounded out as it is spelled) or a visual picture of the spelling. Perhaps it is because I am considered orally deaf. But there has been times when I'm involved within the deaf community (i.e. at deaf...

    Are U Still Register With Tickle Today?

    Hi, I was part of Ringo and Tickle. I had no problems with Tickle. but I had to leave Tickle recently due to a personal reason. A long story... :/ I think Tickle is a great site! It has more features than Ringo did, and is a little more organized. I understand it confused a lot of...

    Caffeine and Headaches

    Same reasons... you gulp a lot of it down your throat? Interesting. I experience more of the "brainfreeze" and "toothfreeze" when I do.

    Caffeine and Headaches

    I realize I don't really have an caffine addiction .... oh my cat's dreaming, moving her little toes in her sleep..... sorry off topic, lol.... No, really... all my life I mostly drank Caffine-free sodas (Diet Pepsi in the copper/gold cans, etc), and I never really liked coffee. I've yet...

    Caffeine and Headaches

    Actually what causes the "brainfreeze" is that the roof of your mouth do have nerves, so when something cold (and a lot of it) touches the roof of the mouth, you experience a rush of an "headache" -- that's why it tends to happen more when you glup it all up or take HUGE bites of ice cream...
