But then, there are a few Deaf folks in the area who have a good education, great jobs, and are very savvy about navigating the world. It just seems that the odds and circumstances are weighed against some of the Deaf community in this society.

I work for a an independent living agency (disability services agency), and almost every day I hear complaints about VR services in our area. I know our VR agency (like almost any state agency because of continuous cutbacks) is overwhelmed with cases; there is a wait for new cases. They just...

I am so sorry to hear about the baby. It is not uncommon for a woman to suffer a miscarriage, but that doesn't make it less painful. Hopefully with time and lots of support from your family and good friends healing will come. Hugs from here.

The anti-CI sentiments in general have calmed down. I have worked with kids with CIs, all with different experiences and levels of success. I agree with DD that a kid needs to have a full toolbox--plenty of communication options. It's not easy as a parent to make those most critical...

I think it was interesting that someone said earlier that nowadays it is the educated woman who breastfeeds. How society has changed! When my mom (an R.N., hence, educated) was raising us in the early 60s, it was the educated woman who did NOT breastfeed. It was thought that breastfeeding...

I'm here to chat about interesting stuff with interesting people. I like people. Period.

My heart goes out to you....I hope you have many good memories of your dad, mom and brother.

File a complaint with the EEOC: U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) The more people complain, the more likely things are to be fixed.

Can you be more 'specific'? Ummm....what I mean is, while people are working at their 9-5 desk jobs, they have a webcam focused on their feet. Apparently there are lots of people out there who like looking at feet.

The article doesn't even state that the teacher who "forced" the worship was Muslim. I agree that beliefs shouldn't be forced on anyone; but I think the xenophobic attitudes of some is disturbing. People throw around all kinds of absolutes, ie. "Muslims ALWAYS" or "Muslims NEVER". Those...

I used to have to take medication to knock me out before a flight--that's how freaked out I was about it. Then after 9/11, I flew twice within 6 months. Now, within the past couple of years, I haven't needed the meds. I'm only a little tense during takeoff. I'm more nervous about the car...

Haha....good suggestion!
