    who else has had thier HAs run over by a car????

    :bowlol::funny::laugh2: My mom said that when I was around 3 and she was giving me a bath, while she was looking, I grabbed my hearing aids (those box aids) that had been lying on top of the toilet seat and dunked them in the bath water. Guess, I thought they needed a bath. LOL! My mom, of...

    Reintroducing myself..

    Bwright6, we're a lot alike. I don't have a cochlear implant, either. I have worn a hearing aid in my right ear, until I lost all the remaining hearing due to some mystery vertigo attacks (I'm still trying to work with my docs to figure this one out). So, now, I'm 100% deaf. Gotta figure out...

    Men Sent to Hospital After Eating Cookies They Thought Contained Pot

    I've had a doctor warn me not to take herbal remedies many years ago because of the unknown effects and interactions with other meds. I still explore the herbs, but I am extremely careful about it. I talk to my doctor BEFORE I take anything herb-wise.

    *rant*

    I had rented "Animals" and it was not captioned. I thought it was supposed to be. There are others that the Redbox does not state whether if it's captioned or not, like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Crazies." I really want to see "The Crazies." Doesn't matter how good or bad it...

    Why Why Why Why.... am I still getting occasional video that is not closed captioned or even subtitled for the hearing impaired/deaf?????? This pisses the shit out of me. :devil: I thought all NEW movies are to be captioned/subtitled. Whatever little loophole they can go by makes a little...

    looking for other deaf writers..

    I'm orally deaf and I chat all the time in chat rooms. I've been told that I'm a really good writer. I just have to jumpstart my creativity, as it doesn't want to come out lately.

    What bones have you broken?

    I was doing a cartwheel. I had lost my balance in the middle of it and fell on my left thumb, breaking it. LOL! I know I broke my ankle many years ago. I had been moving and I was moving boxes and tripped because I had forgotten about a drop in the sidewalk. I felt something pop. It hurt...

    Why Skin Cancer Is on the Rise

    Yeah, it's cool. Emo-goth is kinda neat, style-wise. My friend says i'm white white white white. I even had a psychiatrist tell me that I need to have some sun exposure because I suffer from severe depression. So, I'm getting a little bit of sun. Not to the point of tanning, but to give...

    Do you NOT use illegal drugs?

    Yeppers... I was in the psych ward and just came out of the 4-day long solitary confinement without any human contact. Sure they had this speaker thingy that you speak through it. I told them repeatedly that they needed to come face-to-face. But, nope..... Ohhhhhh. That experience made me...

    Do you NOT use illegal drugs?

    :naughty: Well, now that you mention it....:twisted: I used to smoke tobacco cigarettes and have quit 2 1/2 years ago. I have never tried illicit drugs. I always have been interested, though, but never had the guts to be a rebel. Now, I'm regretting it - not having tried something like weed...

    Anyone have people hang up when using Relay?

    My brain has been "x'ed out" from all those hang ups and people who are not willing to take my calls. I made so many calls like you would not believe...... I will have to look into VRS. I don't think anything is going to make like phone calls again. I always beg people to use e-mail...

    A Dose Of Realty

    That's true. You can have your physician write to your insurance to approve you for coverage on the CI. If they deny you the coverage, you can do an appeal for it. With every denial, keep appealing. Don't give up. It may take quite awhile, so you want to get the ball rolling asap. Once...

    A Dose Of Realty

    I could be totally wrong about it. I cannot remember where I got that information. And of course, it could be an outdated information. Sorry about that. I'll try to have a source along with my info. :shrug:
