Steel, you are wasting your time on cued speech as a sole mode of communication. You should've learned BOTH ASL and Cued Speech earlier in your life. You know only HALF of ASL? That's BAD! You really have a long way to go. I am not a cuer. Neither is Whoa.

Yes, there is a Heaven. The astronauts won't be able to see Heaven because it's not necessarily above the clouds. Heaven may be wayyyy above the universe where no space shuttle could reach because Heaven may be in a spiritual form. As for deafness in Heaven, I don't think deafness exists...

When I was a young teenager, my foster mother used to take me to the church on Sunday mornings. The name of the church is "Jubilee!" The religion of the church is mixed religions. On occasions, Jubilee! hosts a "Noah's Ark" at the church during the worship service. Church members bring their...

Here's a very interesting (and informative) website on longevity. http://www.nmfn.com/tnetwork/longevity_game_popup.html The prediction of my longevity is 93 years old, but if I keep stress a positive factor and eat 5 vegetables and fruits daily, I would have lived to be 97 years old...

Hi, folks... Although I am not an active AD parton, I would like to welcome my NCSD classmate, Whoa, to this bullentin board anyway. I'm very pleased to find her posting on an online deaf forum because for the last three years I have been posting on DN then two (including AD) forums followed...

:boink: :laugh2: Lipreading is important? Not until you lose all of your vision caused by injury/accident, aging, or eye disease. :)

I have posted a similiar news article in another deaf forum. I grew up in a series of foster care homes. Although I had stayed with my primary foster family since I was 2 years old, I still had to travel from a foster care home to another when my primary foster parents were out of town on...

Yes, I still have tonsils.

I cannot speak or lipead. Zip-zero. P.S. I apologize for deleting my other thread of the same topic because I did not realize I posted it without poll nor did I realize the thread was already created. I kinda screwed up because I'm still very new to this forum. It has more complex features...

Oralism refers to educational system. Speech refers to communication skills. POSTlingually deaf children shouldn't be labeled oralists. PRElingually deaf children attending oral schools or obtaining oral education are labeled as oralists. I see no need in promoting oral skills in...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: CI's in children My biological mother suspected I was born deaf and my biological father suspected I was born hearing. It took them 9 months to find out that I was actually born deaf. My deafness was confirmed at the age of 9 months. I turned out just fine as of today...

No problems. Sorry, I misunderstood the word "werd" for "weird". Sometimes, it's slightly difficult for me to look at the icons. Next time when I see the sign "werd", I will know. :) Oh well, my eyeglasses aren't perfect as CIs/oralism can be. I bet deaf oralists misunderstand while...

GRRRRRRRRR, Sablecort!! You replied before I got a chance to edit my post. There are some words I forgot to type. Grrrr. Anyway, why do you think it's weird???

Re: Re: Re: CI's in children I suppose so. But there's a problem. Early implantation in babies is dangerous. What if the baby was actually born hearing, but did not respond to hearing screening for some reasons? What if the baby was born hard-of-hearing and has enough residual hearing to...

I voted panties. *mutters*

Yes, I believe in God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. They all are one. I'm a Christian and I'm a regular at the Church of Christ Deaf Mission. We, the Church of Christ, are very passionate about studying the Bible. I was a Roman Catholic, then an...

It's all Sablescor's fault for making me visit this forum and decided to register! You could thank him for luring me into here. LOL Seriously, I personally know Sablescort. I can tell you how :crazy: he is. And nutty, too. But on the other side, he's an intelligent man. :D

Re: CI's in children I beg to differ. I can speak for myself at this time. I was born Deaf and legally blind. Unlike you and others on AD, you have never experienced the world of blindness like I have. FYI, this type of device won't work for some certain eye conditions like mine. I...

Ok, now my turn. I'll give a piece of my mind. I used to be known as a "Deaf Militant". I'm sure many deaf forum users will say I was, including my own ture husband. I was dead-set against everything what a "hearing-minded" deaf person does, such as lacking of knowledge of ASL, wishes to...

You are right. *bitting my tongue* I'm a master at being "D"eaf. And, no way, I don't think all deaf people should be "D"eaf unless they wish to have a part of it.
