A very good observation. As a Michigan native, It is good to hear the pistons are doing well, but basketball is a sport that I only follow when they are doing well. (Yah, I'm one of those people.)

"free two years of community college . . ." My ears perk up. ". . . for those who get good grades." Darn - so close. I got the only perfect score on the ACT in the history of my county, but good grades, not so much.

This is the natural progression from the Participation Medals that all of our children receive.

So I guess I should probably throw a post in here, seeing as I'm single and have been since high school. (Wow! has it really been that long?)

As someone who just recently lost my hearing completely, I would say the first thing you need to realize is that the problem/difficulty isn't living with the inability to hear. The main problem is that you (and I) don't really know HOW to live with the inability to hear. It's not the situation...

Upon further investigation, litter thrown in the path of a moving vehicle can result in a year of imprisonment. http://www.ncsl.org/research/environment-and-natural-resources/states-with-littering-penalties.aspx

I'm pretty sure in Michigan it is just considered littering and grouped with the normal fine. Usually around $250 fine for the first littering offense and much worse after that (I think local government covers littering.) Of course I could be crazy <-----I think I put this after about...

Yah, and I think that's all moving east, so I'm not looking forward to getting my car out of the driveway in the morning.

That wind tho :eek3:

Yah, I just just lost my hearing completely less than three months ago. Already all of my doctor's are pushing me towards the CI rout. Don't get me wrong, I was raised in a hearing world, and adjusting is extremely hard for me right now, but I don't have a problem with my hearing situation - I...

My poor small fireplace is roaring right now. Trying to get the house to a manageable temperature. This means I have to go outside and haul some wood into the house.:eek3:

Anchorman 2. Wasn't really a fan. Haven't seen the first one.

And on that note, I can't stand drivers who drive obscenely slow in one lane traffic, and when it splits into two lanes and you go to pass them, all of a sudden it is green flag racing.

Yah, small towns can stink for that reason. Although I don't know if I would choose a big city. Welcome :wave:

No, definitely not.

So I really don't have any expert knowledge in this area. (Like NO knowledge), but it seems to me the ultimate problem is education. One of the bulleted points provided compares it to racism and chauvinism. That's a pretty good comparison because both of those were commonplace at one time until...

This doesn't really add anything to this conversation, but I just want to say that I'm really glad there are others who are facing the same stuff as me. I really thought when I joined alldeaf I was going to be sort of different from everybody else because of my mostly hearing background, but I'm...

Yah, I live in prime farm territory and everyone is selling their land. Farming is a big employment opportunity and our county is like 24% unemployed so we need our farms. I actually briefly worked on a Dairy farm when my menier's symptoms returned but they went under and had to sell.

I was more referring to using my voice after class with other students when they were studying. But yah, I think it is much easier to learn ASL by immersion. I had a few friends who were Deaf and that helped me learn some pretty good basics. Unfortunately, at that point in my life I was friends...

I'm going to be going through the exact same thing soon. I am going to be attending ASL classes at a local (local around these parts means less than an hour away) community college and I'm super concerned that my ability to hear is going to be an issue. I doubt they would really to much to...
