Welcome to you Info Officer (Cate), from another fellow Australian assuming that Brisbane is the Aussie Brissie :) Kangaroo

For those of you who don't know, Remembrance Day is also an event honoured in Australia, and on 11 November. Is it also remembered in other countries at the same time? Thank you Chase for noting this event here. Kangaroo :)

Pek1 I think it's great that you have an owner trained best friend aka Snickers. And happy anniversary!! I also had a german shepherd (1/4 labrador), semi self trained dog whom I relied on heavily for hearing things which I couldn't and also for security, as I lived alone. Admitedly she was...

A welcome back to you depsusie. I remember you from a very long time ago too. Good to see you here. May your return back be a long one! Kangaroo :)

I'm innocent :Oops: Mildura Independent Star - Kangaroos come to town causing havoc

Bear, I have no interest in getting a CI for myself as I feel it would not be of benefit to me and am satisfied that what little hearing I have supported with HAs is enough for me to get by in life. I read with interest everyone's experience of those getting a CI in other threads and the...

Jillio and Tousi, Thanks for your kind words! It certainly has been a life changing though very rewarding experience, that is, once we accepted that he did indeed have autism (that was scary enough in itself intially!). Now, I wouldnt swap it for quids! I'll post some more stuff on his...

Jolie, its those seemingly small acheivements that our children with autism have that make all the time, effort and patience worthwhile. It sends goosebumps up your spine to see those achievements that occur so easily in non autistic children, yet for those with autism, its a huge step. I...

Thanks Tousi, Red Hot Lady and Oz Kitten are who I think you mean. Yes they both were and as far as I know still working as interpreters. They seem to have dropped off the online scene, or perhaps they visit different places to where I go these days? I pop into deafchat on rare occasions...

2C did Rule.. and still does! ;) I met many great online friends through deafchat, it was my first contact with other deaf and opened my world right up at a time where I was struggling with many things. Most public chat rooms are full of people that you wouldn't be busting to get to know...

Liebling, Was very saddened to hear of your totally unexpected loss of Kim. It sounds like she was very lucky to have a family like you to care for her from the time you found her. The pictures are very beautiful of your cats and the special area you have made for her resting place. Cherish...

Nobody laugh now... My first alarm, as when I was growing up, (for me nor my family knew there were gadgets out there for the deaf, and there wasn't much back then) was an aquarium pump plugged into a timer. I put the pump under my pillow and it would vibrate the living daylights out of...

Awww Tousi, ever so sweet aint ye? Thanks for the welcome and for the blessing of bumper crops. We are battling on and just hoping for rain sometime soon! Hope all's well with you. Ooops sorry Pek... as for being scared of snakes - won't that help you stomp the grapes faster...

Golly Sasha, Life surely throws us some difficult times - *hugs* to you girl. I do hope that you continue to recover yourself and to be able to draw on the strength of your family members, close friends and online family as well. I do hope that your father is as comfortable as he can be for...

When I first came online years ago and was introduced to the big world of deaf chats and forums I wanted something that was obviously Australian (cos thats where I'm from) and something where people wouldn't assume I was female because the last thing I wanted was blokes trying to pick me up for...

Tousi in a loincloth???? Dang!! I've been away from AD too long! I can't really offer any advise as I'm not from the US, but you can always throw the lot in, pack your pup in your luggage and head out to the wide open spaces of our vineyard here in Australia. We are always looking for...

PePe LePew, I was just interested to know who wrote it as I'm a writer myself. It was a very lovely poem, and very well written as everyone here has noticed. Thank you for sharing it with us. Kangaroo

Did you write this Pepe Le Pew? Kangaroo

I was horrified to read this. As I'm a Day Care Centre Director of a Centre in Australia, I'm very alarmed to hear this happen. Thankfully the child was ok in the end. I don't know what the regulations are in America, but here in Australia, children who are dropped off to Day Care must be...
