I'd rather raise my kids both ASL and speech. So they can communicate with everybody.

My feeling is that both are very good skills. But this is my opinion. Sign Language is the language of the deaf and also helps a deaf person know EVERYTHING that is going on. Say for instance, a parent uses sign language on his/her kid the kid will know everything that is being said. The kid...

That was a beautiful poem.

Interesting. I never knew Hot Cocoa is healthier than tea. Interesting. I thought none of those drinks were healthy. But I guess I was wrong.

I kindof disagree. Depression is usually biologically caused. there is this chemical in the brain called serotonin. if the person produces too little of the chemical, then that's how depression takes place. I suffer depression myself and I think I also might have Seasonal Affective Disorder. I...

I think the reason the deaflympics have that rule is because thye follow deaf culture. Like say for instance, you are jewish, there are different levels of that culture right. Like orthodox and the lower levels. The deaflympics are like orthodox deaf culturalists. Some deaf people don't believe...

I think parents should do both ASL and English. Growing up bilingual. This way, the kid gets a sense of both worlds. Not only that, but if parents allow their kids to sign, then that means the parents look at their child as a normal, whole human being, not some half disabled person. People who...

You know it's not really free. I was on the website and you still need to pay 29.99 a month.

Wait, yopu guys. Are you saying you could get a sidekick 2 for free?

Wow, what a jerk. That guy who stole your CI is really messed up in the head. But I'm glad you're on your way to getting a new one, that is awesome. I'm glad for you. But about the other stolen things, how could he do all that, that little a-hole. But anyway, I'm happy you're on your way to...

He probably n=knew they would sin anyway.

Ravensteve, this is a message for you. I believe you have to accept your deafness, instead of wanting pity or something. In order to get cochlear implant, you have to accept deafness as part of your life. That was God's plan for you. and o yeah, didn't you say you were hard of hearing as a...

There is this verse in the old testament. it is in the book of Exodus, verse 4:10. "Who made people so they can speak or not speak, hear or not hear, see or not see, is it not I, the LORD. That proves that God has a plan for everybody. He doesn't make everybody the same. O Reba, even in the...

Wow, yeah, that does happen. Well, my suggestion is that you see your audiologist and see what can happen. Hope things go well.

She may be able to walk but she is still disabled.

Like I said, not everybody can be the same. The world would be boring and there would be no love in the world if there were no differences/disabilities. Like someone said here, you can't compare blind to deaf. But they're both differences, right? That's what makes the world more full of love...

I know how you feel. But God made you deaf. It is Gods dicision. He makes people deaf for a reason. I believe the reason why is that everybody can't be the same. If everyone were hearing, if everyone were sighted, then guess what, there would be even more ignorance and prejudice. Because they...

That is sure an interesting article.

Actually Pete, 711 is safer because you have to pay long distance charges. Con artists don't want to pay a high long distance cll rate just to steal stuff. The cost of calling here through 711 if you're in Nigeria would be extremely expensive. That's why using 711 would be a lot safer.

In my opinion, IP-relay in this case should be shut down and just dial 711. It is a lot more confidential than IP-relay. IP_relay is over internet and there are people spying on internet all the time. I never use IP-relay. Just 711. Anyway, I know these scams won't stop and IP-relay in this case...
