I was hearing for most of my 44 years, (almost 45 now)....40 of them at any rate. I hardly ever felt a part of society, even then, period. I wasn't born to a rich family...and unless you got buckets and bags of money a person can NEVER have "...full, unfettered access to the mainstream..."...

Wow...I find this to be incredibly disturbing on so many levels. It explains why I have had audiologists and other doctors really advocating for these CIs and their insistence that I "strongly consider" getting CIs. I have been resistant from the start. I was born a hearing person, I lost my...

Oh yeah, always know when it's gonna rain too. My whole body aches. Winter is the worst. Thats when me and my heating blanket get really chummy. LOL The Paleo diet is basically a non-processed all natural diet. It has helped me immensely. It is rich in Omega-3...which seems to help a myriad of...

Ugh....what exactly is gout? I have heard of it...and I know it causes some sort of sharp things to grow in the joints...but what exactly IS gout? It sounds painful as hell. RA is bad enough.

:laugh2: I'm a bloody lousy driver too! Never had a driver license in my life. I know how to drive, but I do not do well as a driver. I get too nervous and come close to panic attacks. I found this out YEARS ago when I was 17. Decided right then and there I disliked driving a car...a lot...

Just wondering if anyone else here is dealing with RA? (Rheumatoid Arthritis) I was diagnosed with it recently and I am only 44. Just wondering what any one here does to cope with it. They wanted to put me on some of those horrible drugs, most of which is guaranteed to give you a form of...

Great find Grummer! My hubby and I have been boycotting big oil and the ungodly cost of gas and not to mention the cost of even having a vehicle anymore. We own a van, but it isn't running at present. Not sure if we are going to bother getting it fixed and running again either. Instead we use it...

So effing cool. I am gonna have to watch "Switched at Birth". Never seen it. I don't generally watch T.V. I tend to read more. :)

OMGs! WTF? That makes me wonder what to do if I ever actually required cops? I detest cops to be honest. I think they are bullies, and this article does nothing to change that opinion. I hope these two got fired. Probably no such luck. Pigs tend to stick together. I don't drive a car, never...

OH! I had forgot about the weather alerts on phone too. LOL I have a little dog and a cat...they both go running when it starts storming. I never know it is storming unless me mate Dougie tells me, or my dog Mojo and my cat Salem go running to hide. LOL I loves me furry children. :)

OMGs! That is some scary shit. I live in Kentucky...I am TERRIFIED of tornadoes. I can't hear sirens or anything. Luckily my hubby is hearing so I at least have someone to help, but if one day I am a widow...ugh...I don't even want to think about it. I have NO idea if my town even has any...

Yeah, I have gotten to where I just don't like talking much at all. I have developed a 'deaf accent' apparently, and since I can't hear myself anymore when I do talk it feels like I am ripping my throat out because apparently I am damn near screaming at the top of my lungs. LOL

I am so sorry your parents are in denial. My family is too. (My mom keeps praying for my hearing to return. While I'm not an atheist,I'm not gullible either.) I don't know why anyone views being Deaf as a bad thing. I had hearing for 40 years. I started losing it around the age of 30 and it was...

Derek Jacobi, Stephen Fry, Ian McKellen, Jodi Foster, Sara Gilbert, etc. I tend to really favour British actors and actresses. Dunno why, it just sort of worked out that way. I watch a lot of British comedy. I like the actress who plays Jeffrey's wife Muriel in the show, 'Waiting for God". it is...

It'll take one hell of a turn around for Kentucky to ever repeal it's ban on gay unions as well. Some pretty hardcore chrispies in this state. I am Bi and I have NEVER told any of my family that...especially not my mother. Hardcore chrispie. I have been happily married, to a man, for 17 and 1/2...

I know I get that, "You need to file for Disability." schtick all the time. I hate the pity looks and that whole damned 'labled diabled' by everyone but the effing government. It surely does seem to be a damned if you do or don't issue. The proverbial "rock and a hard place'. I have to say...

My experience was that they weren't cheap tippers...they were NON-tippers. Maybe some church people are ok...my experiences with them has led me to avoid them like the plague. :|

I completely agree. The worst tippers I have ever had to deal with were church people. I utterly, absolutely HATED working on Sundays when I worked at a Shoney's years ago for a little while. They wanna sit and tell you about what a sinner you are for working on a Sunday, but they sure as hell...

Oh better yet, they think screaming at you helps you hear them! LOL

Oh..gods...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! :rofl:That is just TOO funny.
