    what means for you to be deaf or HOH?

    It just means that I'm HoH and I have to wear hearing aids, it's separate from how I identity as a person, actually, my glasses add more to my personality/identity than my hearing aids...i love my glasses :)

    Favorite pro sports memories?

    Does "Nipplegate" count as a pro-sport moment since it happened at the Super Bowl? Also, I wasn't alive when it happened, I loved hearing my grandmother talk about the legnedary "Heidi" game--where the game ran into over-time but the network stopped the game to run the old Heidi movie, hehehe

    It doesn't sound like it would be an issue to me, many friend groups are incestuous anyway :)

    Most people start having slumber parties in grade school (I had my first sleep over in kindergarten--and almost every weekend since then until high school)...As a kid, sleep overs/slumber parties consisted of eating pizza, watching movies, and playing video games until 4 am...I didn't start...

    Hearing pretending to be deaf to avoid conversation?

    That wouldn't bother me much, I figure it is probably easier to say that you're deaf in passing with a stranger than explaining that you're HoH and people questioning about how HoH you are... I'm HoH and but I'll refer to myself as "deaf" sometimes but never "Deaf", bc I'm not a part of the...

    Hearing pretending to be deaf to avoid conversation?

    hahahaha it makes me think of Elaine on Seinfeld with the cabbie...still cracks me up...in my opinion, if someone has the audacity to fake being deaf, than maybe we're all better off not knowing what they have to say in a conversation...

    Sacramento...cab drivers must learn English...

    I couldn't care less what kind of clothes my cabbie wears, just as long as he gets me to the right place...I understand wanting the cabbies to the basic language of the place they are living in...I wouldn't go to Germany and expect them to hire me to drive people around the villages because I...

    As Memorial Day Observations Decline In Popularity, Powerful Lessons Remain

    :( sad...I think it's hard for young people to fully grasp Memorial Day...if you think about it, the war we are in right now is totally different than wars in the past...with WWII, the whole country was involved and everyone was encouraged to do their part (even kids would collect scrap metal)...

I have a BA in Special Education (and am working towards my MA in Multiple/Severe Disabilities) and it's very helpful :) We try very hard to expose our students to multiple communication options (obvi. based on their abilities) and many of our students (some nonverbal) use a combo...

    How do you feel about being asked questions?

    I've always been cool with answering questions about it, I'm all for educating people...I understand people are curious and for me, people don't know I have a hearing loss until I tell them or they see me fiddling with my hearing aids...
