    Suing hospital for taking Interpreter away from me

    Actually Glenn, they move faster than you think. A few years ago, I had to file a complaint with OCR and they found in my favor and settled in 4 months. That was Seattle's office. Long process is if you file with U.S. District Court,, that can take years.

    accommodations question--is it appropriate...

    This happened to me,,, if they don't offer what you need, ASK for it. When I was going to college, I asked for CART. they told me they don't offer it cuz they thought it was a luxury.. I fought them with OCR and won.. It's possible the college didn't know its obiligation.

    Woman Claims She was Crippled by Denture Cream

    I know someone who was born without any teeth, hence the denture at young age. She started wearing it when she was 5 when it was clear that there's no permanment teeth coming in. There are many reasons why one would have it so young. As for 3/4 tubes a week, something is fishy..... :roll: Lee

    oh I didn't miss anything, I replied to someone who wrote: I don't qualify for EIC because I am not 24 years old and I don't have a child. Oh well. this person didn't say how much she/he earned,, just age and child.. so I pointed out that age and being childless is not a factor. Lee
