It doesn't bother me if you want to use hearie or deafie. It's part of our slang.

I don't have any statistics - maybe you can look on google.

Yea we (the deaf and hoh) can read and write as good as a hearing person. Someone said that it depends on the upbringing, education, etc. I agree with that but I've noticed that some deaf people who grew up in a strong ASL environment ended up not having great communication skills. That's...

A friend of mine here at work sent me a link (I'll see if I can find it) that had pictures of rats who were fed diet coke. This woman did an experiement because her family kept on drinking diet coke all the time and she tried to tell the family that it was dangerous and they didn't believe her...

I had the same problem before. When I got a Linksys wireless router, my vp-200 wouldn't connect and after several tries of contacting tech support, I was finally able to talk with someone on IM (on SK) and he helped me get through it and now my vp-200 works great with the linksys wireless...

I'm from VA too and my VR was great to me when I went to RIT. I got full coverage (paid tutition in full) and got a monthly check to help pay with my rent and other expenses. I guess it varies on the area. Good luck!

I thought about getting the pink one but I decided to go with the black one - it's the onyx one, looks like there are sparkles in it.

The only thing I regret is how I treated hearing folks back when I was in HS. When I "found" my deaf identity (from going to a deaf summer camp after all these years of never having a deaf friend) - I was angry that I didn't have the opportunity to socialize when I was young. I was angry at my...

I had SK1, SK2 and SK3 and then I got fed up with Tmobile's network. I noticed that when a new version of SK comes out, the older ones start to have network problems. So I decided to stop Tmobile. I just got a Palm Centro through sprint a few days ago and I love it! the small keyboard is...

Here's me with my honey.

I've had the "she's death" thing happen to me many times!! Sometimes when I talk to someone through the relay, the hearing caller will say "please tell her.... please tell her...." I'm like - talk to me directly! I'm not named "her."

I've been smoke free as of one month today :-) I'm on Chantix and it really works. I have NO cravings at all and don't chew gum much or snack/eat often. My fingernails are finally growing - I used to chew on them if I couldn't find time to smoke (as in stuck in traffic or whatever). For...

I'm an advocate for same-sex marriage. I'm straight myself but I have a lot of friends who are in relationships with others of the same-sex and I can see that they're happy. As long as you're happy with whoever you are with, a male or female, then you're entitled to marriage - a lifelong...

I just started taking Chantix as of last Friday (Nov 30th) and I've had some bouts of nausea but it only happens for a couple hours after I take the pill then it goes away. I have to keep on smoking for a week while I'm taking Chantix and on the 8th day I'll quit. Today is my 4th day on it and...
