Still kicking! Sorry to hear of the struggles you've had with the NIC. I recommend checking into the programs at Signs of Development - Lynne Weisman's materials. That's how I passed the old written test, was through one of her study programs. Hang in there, you WILL get it!

Congrats!

I thought Ojo was from Snap!VRS. I'm confused now LOL.

If I have heard one thing about the NIC more than anything else, it's that there is RARELY only one "right" answer. The chance of there being ONE "right" answer for any of the interview questions is VERY slim. You are expected to pick the "most right" answer, but it does not mean that other...

Ah, well that's a little different - yes, if someone refers to giving the middle finger, of course you give the middle finger. And if there's minimal enthusiasm about the word "fucking" I might give the middle finger for that too. If they're being really emphatic about it I would spell out...

Wow...that's a decision I make on the fly every single time, I think. It depends on the speaker's inflection, the topic, attitude, the importance of the specific word...depends on a lot of things. But thinking about it, I would say I spell it about 75% of the time - usually because the...

I know some people here have connections to companies so maybe they will know the answer. I bought a VPAD+ for $99 from Viable. Now I have a Purple Netbook that was a gift. I don't need the VPAD+ anymore I guess. Am I allowed to sell it? Give it to a friend who doesn't have a VP? I...

Yes I remember that one. Everybody must have their "deaf episode" on TV! CSI, CSI:NY, etc.

When I was a kid before I became HOH I could hear planes in the sky anytime even if they were very high up. Now I cannot hear them at all with or without HAs no matter where they are in the sky even low like flying into DCA over the Potomac. I can hear helicopters even without HAs because...

Shonna...4 out of your 5 posts on AD have been advertising your prep materials and denigrating your colleagues. AD is a community, not an advertising forum. Can I suggest you participate in the community rather than just promoting your products and services?

So sorry to hear that :( :( Give it another try though. Now you know what you did wrong and you can fix it.

There are definitely SC:L prep workshops...I'd start by looking for those.

You mean about WF not taking relay calls? I hate that.

That's what it sounds like to me, too. Special glasses you wear that shows only the captions.

Prints it right on the video? Huh? TiVo? My DVD Recorder doesn't do anything like that...are these special features? Why would you want to force open captions like that? I just leave the closed captions on for my TV all the time, and whatever I play will be captioned...what is special about...

I don't believe it. He had vitiligo. Somebody with crossover appeal like he had, he wasn't trying to hide from who he was, why would he? If you don't believe he had it you can check here: All Spoken Truth: Michael Jackson's Skin: You need to SEE the truth. Lots of pictures showing that he...

Yes indeed...I have seen pictures of other African-American people with vitiligo, and if you did not know they had it, you would think they were white people. There are many pictures where you can see that Michael Jackson had it. This is an example, if you look on his wrist you can see the...

Oh yes I follow you completely! :) I just think that the legal documents from both sides use "Point to Point" because that is what FCC calls it. Obviously any call a VP user makes is technically point to point, you cannot call a regular phone with a VP, it doesn't work that way! But they...

Hearing people have to pay for Caller ID though. It's not free. So I disagree very strongly that it is "rights" to know who is calling. Of course deaf people deserve to have the option AVAILABLE but it is not a right. Especially not for free. Hearing people have to pay for Caller ID, we do...
