My husband and I have been together for three years as of yesterday (not married, that is just when we first started dating). The night we started dating he came to my house and we watched "Across the Universe". Now, every year on our "together-versary" (as I like to call it, since if I say...

NitroHonda, diehardbiker- not trying to get into your conversation but I just thought I would point out that maybe there is a bit of confusion going on here (or maybe I am just confused). I think you might be thinking about different things when saying that "yes you can see it even if they...

I am on this site because my daughter is the one with a hearing loss (not myself)- so I can say without a doubt that my introversion is not due to that. But I can definitely see how many people here might be introverts (or exhibit these traits) because of the difficulties of communicating in a...

Ha, I was thinking something along the same lines- so my answer would probably be the bikers :). As long as it's not some really bad biker gang bar for a gang that has NO regards for human life, male or female, then I think I would probably be pretty safe yelling that... And you're probably...

Oh, that is SOOO true :giggle:! Trying to be sneaky and quiet and it seems like your dropping bombs everywhere you go! :) In a Cloud: Loved your story :)! Glad to know it wasn't your hearing aid and I must say, you handled the situation cool as could be :cool2:! If the guy had said it...

I had to explain to a friend of mine just today how many deaf people do still have good speech. My daughter is 3 and recently we found out she has moderate to severe hearing loss and he made a comment about her still being able to speak fairly well. I was like "duh, she lost her hearing, not...

Ok, I have a confession to make... I am one of those weird hearing people that gestures with their hands while I talk :giggle:. I don't do it because I think I know sign language, though (although I am learning so I actually can say real things with my hands now :) )... It's really just a...

:hmm: Maybe if my ex-husband had read this he would have understood me better (I have had him use almost every single one of those myths against me at one point or another)... Oh well, his loss :)! Seriously, though, this fits me to a T! I have always known I was an introvert and there...

Ha, I was looking for that exact picture and couldn't figure out how to search for it :). Great minds, huh? :) As for JW's coming to your house- have a little fun if you are in the mood for it. If you're not in the mood for it, just tell them "not interested" and shut the door, or don't...

In a Cloud- I also wanted to say congrats on your new aids. I am glad you are enjoying them and that they are helping you out. I am also enjoying hearing everyone's stories about getting their hearing aids and all the things you discovered you could hear. I can't wait to see my daughter's...

As a hearing person, I have to say that I think we learn to ignore or block out a lot of those sounds (maybe that is why it seems like the little noises aren't so loud to us- or maybe it is just that the hearing aids are amplifying everything, not sure). Although I have to say, personally, I...

Any time someone mentions Turkish Delight I think of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" movie (not the most recent one, there was a version done around the 80's that was a British version I think, that I grew up watching- I like the recent remakes but really, the British version was the...

Robin, I hate to hear that your family has treated you that way. I am glad that you have been able to turn out to be the person you are today, though, despite all of that. Many people let bad experiences in their lives turn them bitter and cold and it is great to see people who don't let...

Ohhhhh.... :hmm: So THAT'S why their hands fly so fast when they talk!! :dizzy: :laugh2:

:giggle: Haha, when I saw the title of this post I thought you were talking about people ("peeps") who had maybe been laying dormant on the board now starting to show up again in posts! Besides that, though, I actually kinda like peeps (can't eat too many at a time, but one or two are good)...

Thank you for your support, DeafAlex.:ty: I was hoping that people would be able to see that other people can believe the decision is not right for them (or their child) but that that same person can also support another person's decision to get an implant for themselves or their child...

Just because I do not feel that a CI would be a good option for my own child does not mean that I can't see the joy that another person would feel with having a CI and being able to hear. I actually debated against sending best wishes to deafAlex (sorry, not sure if I got the...

Glad things are going well for you! :) Best wishes for continued "discoveries" of sound :)!

I totally agree... But the truth of the matter for a lot of people is that they just DON'T do that. They believe what the doctors tell them, they figure "this person has a degree in this so they must know more than me" and they leave it at that. And doctors are "fixers" I think- they do...
