    Is it part of deaf discrimination?

    Welcome to the job market. Happens to everyone, including hearing people. Not everyone has the 'common sense' of contacting the interviewee after the interview on if they do get the job or not. I have been on many job interviews over the years. Of them, only 2 of them sent me a message...

    I just realized......

    It wouldn't be so bad if you would stop talking out of your arse! Most of what you post makes me wonder, who you are trying to impress. There are times I want to pull out the "clue by 4" and hit you with it. 90 days and 4,400+ post. ahhh Impressive.... not. There is more to life than...

    what do you like about hearing culture?

    Rio, you are dead on, I was wondering when someone was going to say that. considering I grew up listening to Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Police and many other classic 80s and 90s songs. As I got older, I got more into the underground music, Raves, Trance, Techno. But I do still have my...

    deaf/hearing couples' experiences?

    I am HoH, really don't know much ASL. I used to back when I was in College, but after I left I had no one to sign too. If he's like me... Oral, HoH and can hear to a point. Make sure he's looking directly at you when you speak. I hate when people talk to me from the side/back or start...

    do you know what caused you to not hear?

    Crazy as it may seem. I was actually born dead with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. I was dead for 9 minutes before they were able to revive me. Even after all this, I was born hearing. I didn't loose my hearing until I was 18 months old. Had Spinal Menigitis, fever got up to...

    Your AD name, why?

    I was Born in the year of the Dragon, plus my fascination with dragons. Have a pewter collection of dragons and wizards. Dragon sword, jade dragons. And so on. The 'Risin' part is a very old nickname. Mother called me 'Rising', because I hated waking up in the morning, especially to go to...

    I hate 'loaner' hearing aids...

    I wish it was that easy in NY. NY seems to be very picky about it. I have attempted when they were 5 years old. They didn't budge. Hopefully now it changes. Just 2 months to wait and then I'll see what route I shall be taking. One day at a time.

    I hate 'loaner' hearing aids...

    Hmmm, never heard of Vocational Rehab. I'll look into that. Thanks! We are going to try Medicaid again in March. If Medicaid does finally agree to let me get new hearing aids, they will want a hearing evaluation done. Hence the appointment in March. My audiologist has been super busy...

    I hate 'loaner' hearing aids...

    Hey Guys and Gals! I know it's been a while since I went MIA. RL has litterally been kicking my arse, lately. I so can't wait until July when I get to go to Oregon for 5 days. A much much needed vacation. Anyhow, my Phonak PowerMaxx 411s are finally 'broken'. The right aid actually gives...

    has Anybody experienced discrimination in employment

    You basically have to fight. Nothing more you can do. You have to prove that you can do the job better than the next guy. Only other way to bypass the discrimination is if you know someone in the business who can get you in the door. Which is why I have been so lucky for years when it comes...

    has Anybody experienced discrimination in employment

    I used to worked in a Senior Citizen Home, right after I graduated from HS. My boss was a good friend of my stepfathers and he hired me because he knew I could cook. I went to HS with his daughter, and he has an older son who was deaf. I worked in the dining room/restaurant area. After a...

    What are you doing right now?

    I have been walking around the golf course for a few months. I usually walk around it 3 to 4 times, which totals 7.5 to 10 miles. Since I have my daughter for the week, she wanted to come walk with me. I can't believe how lazy kids are today. We walked around the golf course, once. She was...

    Cote De Pablo is Leaving NCIS! :(

    As an avid NCIS watcher. I am sad to see this happen too. But characters comes and goes and the show will continue on. If they remove Gibbs, the show will definitely be the end. I know we have Abby, Tim, Ducky, Tony, but Gibbs' old school personality pulls me in. The no nonsense person...

    Buying vehicle(s) with liens on title ?

    Ahhh, hate to sound so negative. But if any person who falls on hard times. decided to sell the vehicle to prevent repossession. I know for damn sure, they will not be paying off that remaining note. They will take the money and run.
