    Costco Policy

    This guy really really really doesn't want to conform. Unfortunately I think he's picking a fight with something that isn't worth it. If he wanted to be so non-conformist he could've tried wearing a skirt or giving up his car for a horse.

    Survey: Does the media give an accurate portrayal of Deaf Culture?

    I can't think of any examples of where the media (TV & Movies) accurately portrays any group of people. Those mediums thrive on generalization and funny redundant stereotypes.

    Don't let women be ripped off

    She should contact her car insurance and ask them if they can't cover it. And at least get a second and third opinion. I wonder how hard it would be to pull apart a car door panel anyway...

    Your opinion on a young woman shaving her head?

    Maybe they don't want you to wear a wig because wigs are generally ridiculed in society. However, society also makes fun of women who are not beautiful, even if women cannot choose to be born with a beautiful face. I don't think you should have to feel anxious all the time because you are...

    Anyone Else Awesome With Animals?

    Animals are drawn to me but I am frightened by them when they approach. Yes, I walk to the other side of the street when I see a dog being walked to my way.

    Twinkies is going out of business !

    I can't believe they could not sell Twinkies to someone else to own and produce. They have so many references to them in American culture. It's tough to imagine America with no Twinkies. What will truck stops and rest areas offer for sale now??

    Attempts to cure deafness?

    I'll never forget this documentary: The World of Deaf Culture (Part 2) CC - YouTube At 2:15 -- Airplane rides, heat earplugs, meeting Babe Ruth to cure deafness? Awesome experience for a kid, at least.

    How did you improve your writing skills?

    I used to be part of a writing circle, and we would share writing (usually a 10 page story) with each other and edit them. I've also seen some success with reading the story out-loud: It helps me catch any unnatural or run-on sentences. I also like to give the writing some time: Hide what I...

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    Maybe it was static electricity or something.. not sure. I just know right now the setup is working, so I'm going with "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" Thank you for the graphics card suggestions. If my card breaks in the near future, now I know what to get :)

    Auditory Processing Question

    I have hearing within a normal range, but I can assure you that you're not the only one saying "Let me jacket my grab" or "I need a soup to eat spoon" or keep hearing weird stuff like "I maybe slop orb" (I'm making some popcorn). ;) But it seems on alldeaf, there isn't very many audio...

    Could be worse -- they could cancel hockey completely.

    Deaf- please help me learn about your culture!

    well.. it sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Time to go out into your community and personally find some willing deaf or hard-of-hearing people that are willing to be interviewed.

    Oh My!....what's that smell?

    While we are on the topic of farts, it has always mystified me that farts are not visible. Especially with the really potent, garlic-onion-and-beans ones... how come they are so pungent but are still not visible? It boggles my mind.

    Deafness in fiction?

    I remember a deaf girl in RL Stine's Halloween Party. I was really into RL Stine books as a teenager.. I have almost all of the Fear Street books (not goosebump) at home. It's been a while since I've read the book though, so I can't remember very many examples of her deafness showing. The only...

    A&E Hoarders TV Show

    Yikes! And I thought I was messy. This show really made me realize that I have to take my disorganization seriously before it actually become serious. And it makes me want to clean after I watch because my own messes look like a joke compared to what I saw on the screen. Recently, I watched...
