    Docs want to force CI on her! She benefits great from HA!

    I agree. It's the exact same thing I run into with people who have normal stomach viruses, indigestion, morning sickness, or the flu saying they have 'food poisoning.' Honestly? Food poisoning is serious! Just because you drank half a keg of beer on an empty stomach, ate three pounds of taco...

    Deaf signer learning ASL

    I think this would entirely depend on who was doing the teaching. If it's in a class or other educational environment, with lots of structure and a schedule, then it is probably very focused on grammar and proper structure. If they learn from a friend or something, the focus is probably going...

    Hearing clearly after being deaf your entire life?

    I used to have something similar with my vision. I have astigmatism in both eyes, but every once in a while I would be able to see perfectly clear without any glasses or contacts or anything... until I blinked and everything got fuzzy again.

    Please.....help me.

    I think he's just saying the illness resulted in three things - mental issues, hearing loss, and loss of speech - and not that being deaf or mute (is this still a pc term?) makes one mentally challenged. Or maybe I'm wrong and he is saying that. I wouldn't worry too much about your hearing...

    Snubbing the Deaf community?

    And it's also possible (since we have alot of theories already :) ) that the person invited her in a way she perceived as offensive and so she got defensive. Maybe the person made it sound like no deaf person could possibly function and be happy without involvement int he Deaf Community, that...

    Who gave you your sign name?

    Aw - that's so complimentary! Who wouldn't love such a lovely name? Is it alright to ask why people have specific sign names or is that seen as too personal?

    Anyone go (or used to go) to RIT/NTID?

    Thanks for the encouraging words! I'm a hearing student majoring in ASL, so I think it's probably a little different for me, but the quality of the program is pitiful and I want to be the best, most qualified interpreter I can be. If that means I have to move half way across the country and...

    Why is it that relationships with age gaps seem to spark such fear in people?

    And better yet, would he date a woman 22 years older than he is - a woman 70 years old?

    Why is it that relationships with age gaps seem to spark such fear in people?

    When my uncle started dating my aunt who was five years older (he was 20 and she was 25) people flipped out. Which is kind of weird because she looked 15-18 and he looked 25 :) They're still together and happy 25 years later. And she still looks younger. From my experience, I get more...

    Are you willing to give up TV?

    I don't watch tv unless it's a documentary or movie during class. But I do spend a disgusting amount of time on youtube.

    D'oh! You caught me :) I was going to ask you to write my Philosophy paper or do my biology homework but that's obviously out now too, isn't it?

    Would you like to have been a hearing person?????

    I am literally in tears from laughing. Maybe they're not looking for a relationship. Just friendship... with special, special benefits :naughty:

    Anyone go (or used to go) to RIT/NTID?

    Wow! Thanks - this is a lot of things I never considered - traction pads and chapstick are fabulous suggestions. And I hadn't even considered long underwear :) Eeep! I'm hoping to just live on campus the first year and not have to worry about learning to drive a car through the snow and all...

    Anyone go (or used to go) to RIT/NTID?

    I'm currently in the process of applying as a transfer student and I should know in the next few months if I get accepted or not - I really, really hope I do! I'm so nervous... Anyway, my mother asked me to make a list of all of the things I will need to buy as far as clothing and winter...
