I'm glad! I glanced over the headline this am but didn't make the time to read why they were getting nailed. Since you and I are here, I'm assuming we both have some computer-knowledge. 1. Say we each buy a new computer or replace our current harddrive and memory. Harddrive is supposed to...

Miaou, You’re perfectly fine asking questions. General anesthetic made me pretty nauseous and that was tiring. Then I’d have to ask for an anti-nausea drug and I hated those. With this surgery, they (NY Eye, Ears, Nose and Throat Hospital) went in and up and down through my nose with...

Und that is why my partner reluctantly drives my car around on occasion. She can hear things I can't. When something feels weird with my motorcycle, it goes to a guy at a local shop. He checks the sound or feeling for me during the year and when it's bike inspection time.

Yeah, me too (except I don't feel comfortable in the dDeaf world - don't know enough of it even though I lived in it for a little while years ago).

Interesting stuff again. I was totally immersed in the hearing world and moving me into a deaf and ASL world would've been mind-blowing not only to me but to my family. Yes, hearing was exhausting but that's what I did and knew. ASL would've been a complete waste of time, my parents' money...

Absolutely gorgeous. I'll live vicariously through you. We had a house built in 1895 that had to be completely redone. I loved the old basement and the attic the best. We found cast iron people toys under our shed. Likely from that time period.

Miaou: My eustacian tubes were never fully developed. So, they were closed 99% of the time. My first real ENT (who knew what he was doing) said there would be surgery available years down that would allow them to be opened. That came when I was in college. First surgery under local and it...

Our social upbringing (religion - or lack thereof, where we lived, and our parents' belief) is what makes the difference between really all of us here. whatdidyousay lived in a small place with family in Russia. You adapt and they did. We have I don't know how many acres of forestland near...

Makes sense, whatdidyousay. It has to do with what I'm popping in a general response.

I've had a friend since I was in 9th grade with whom I'm still in touch. She did well in her university and had a couple of careers. She makes the most money (or did) as a psychic. I kid her a lot about it because it makes me uncomfortable and she knows it and we deal with each others quirks...

I loathe the tests done with an implant. When I had to go in for a remapping, then the discrimination and other tests, I called it going into a torture chamber. I erred the first time and had my partner come in for part of it and the sound level drove her nuts and she got out of the room...

Very sweet photo (Avatar). Welcome to the land of the mixed Deaf, hearing, deaf, and students. Hope you enjoy the forum. (And Happy New Year!)

Whatever gets you through is most important to me.

Tanks for adding this. I didn't understand the comment because I saw your frustration but no anger and it is a "pissy" situation. Good frickin' luck, sonocativo. Sorry.

Reba is the resident expert bar none. My belief system is just different and we can't get into it. There are a lot of bad things happening. Media and a global economy drive it all. ISIS et al have been around in one form or another for centuries. The bad guys just are called different...

I agree with you 100%. On this forum we all seem to be trying to impart that in one way or another. The Dhh program was odd because I walked through doors of another culture - one I had experienced before but not to that extent. My hearing partner joined me and saw the confusion. It just...

You can refer to us as your older guinea pigs :) . (deafdyke, hope you're okay with my comment.) I think I've been through most of the old stuff that has finally improved or just changed and gotten worse. If a soft headband had existed when I was trying the bone conductive aid (circa 1989...

Hey: Most of the fruits and veggies are now inundated with pesticides. I can call them "healthy yields" to the extent that more is produced than organics not because they're healthy. They are not what they were thousands of years ago. If our pet rats know the difference (trust me they do)...

I saw Wiki asking for money and won't give them anything until their reputation changes. FireFox is getting weird these days and I'm beginning to be cautious with them. I started using Safari sporadically until they go down the tubes.

deafdyke: I thought I was going to be mildly clobbered by my response because I know how polarizing Deaf vs deaf can be. We don't have to be assimilated by Borg (and in our case it is the world of hearing). But it is easier for me and for those I know because it's the life we know. I'm also...
