If you could have a day with anyone from the past who would it be? :hmm: (No longer living) I had this question at a job interview one time and I was like "duuuuuh" Was not expecting that! But my answer, Jesus! Can't go wrong there.

:naughty: you read my mind.

next time just delete your cookies and you will have to rename it. I think this is pointless!

I get the "what the hell is that?" and then a few minutes later I am like "wait a minute,,,wait a minute it is probably me!!" After all this time you think they would catch on! lol

PBS has a special on this week about dreams. They usually show a program several times for the week so if u r interested then look to see when it is on. I watched it last night and it is very interesting, talks about how REM dreams and nonREM dreams are different and how the REM dreams are...

It doesn't really matter to me if I sound deaf or not was just wondering how all this works. I have had people ask me if I was from another country before. They claim I have an accent but I just laugh at them, whatever! At first I thought it was funny then I started wondering if maybe it...

I have always had digital and I am getting an analog. I have an analog loaner and I gotta say if you have a sloping hearing loss like I do the sounds that you hear better prepare to be blasted when they come. I prefer digital because then they can lower the volume on certain sounds and turn up...

Hello, as a late deafie I get the comment alot that I "don't talk like I am deaf" lol I am wondering if anyone could fill me in on what to expect with my speech. Will I eventually "forget" how to form words right? Sorry if I am offending anyone, not meaning to. Or is there a difference...

You can indeed get analog hearing aids and any audi that is telling you that is wanting the money from the digitals. Analogs are cheaper and they are also the only hearing aids some insurances will cover. I am awaiting my appt to pick mine up next week they are made by Starkey and I know...

That once someone finds out you are deaf then they have to tell you every person they know that even knows someone that is deaf. Real or fiction. "Like that soap opera have you seen that?" or "my sisters friend has a cousin that has kid" I realize they are just trying to relate and that is...

I agree servers seem to take alot of crap. Some people just don't realize how difficult the job is. It takes a very patient, smart, and organized person to be a waitress and they alomost never get the recognition they deserve. I loved it though I thought it was a challenge and we would have...

I am unaidable in my right ear and my left is severe to profound but able to be helped greatly with a hearing aid. I am completely deaf without the aids but the help aided on the left is a big difference. I have progressive and he said since I have so little left I should think about trying to...

Yeah, I moved to the kitchen after I couldn't waitress anymore and I loved it! I cooked for 7 years. It was suggested by my Audi that I quit that job because of the constant loudness of the hood system. I cooked at other places after that but it just wasnt' the same.

Hello, When I started really losing my hearing I was a waitress and as it progressed of course i could no longer do that. Looking for a job after that has been very depressing. I do not know ASL and I am profoundly deaf now. Just wondering what kind of work (or if you work) you are in...

They do have to get captions right COME ON. :hmm:
