    Weird thing your pet does

    My German Shepherd hops. He'll be walking next to you and all of the sudden he hops forward. Or when he's playing catch by himself (He'll grab a stuffed animal and throw it up in the air and chase it) he hops after it. Its the funniest thing I've ever seen. Also when we go for walks I will be...

    Spoken English is not in the best interest for my hearing child

    I watched a pilot for a TV series called "My Deaf Family" where the oldest child has two deaf parents. He said that he had trouble in school because his dad would mispronounce words and such. The youngest child (theres 4 kids) is also hearing and the oldest said he is trying to make it easier...

    Spoken English is not in the best interest for my hearing child

    Its kind of like the youtube video were the guy said he wanted his hearing son to be D/deaf like he and his wife, so they flew to Brazil to have the surgery. It was actually his dog he was talking about, but the very real dillema was there. Society frowns upon hearing kids going deaf but its ok...

    Should Evolution Be Taught To Our Children In The Classroom?

    Why do you have to see it to believe it? Why do you have to touch or smell it to know its there? That's why its Faith. Everyone needs someone to be there for them - through the good and the bad. I believe everything happens for a reason, its what keeps me going. :)

    What are the pros and cons of being oral or voice-off?

    Question...and sorry if it sounds dumb but I'm still new :aw: but I read that I was to sign as I talked. I don't sign in ASL very well yet (more SEE, but I'm working on it) and it was easier for people to understand. So...should I not talk at all? :hmm:

    What are the pros and cons of being oral or voice-off?

    Hope you don't mind me jumping in, but I'm a hearing person :wave: I worked at a Dept. store where I met my first Deaf person who came in with his 7yr old daughter. I noticed no one approaching him, so I did and his daughter translated for us. The next few times he came in he sought me out even...

    Hi Botti....re granddaughter

    Kids are getting scary with how they can work electronics. The two year old I watch has hijacked my Android out of my pocket and before I can stop her she's unlocked my phone, found my music, scrolled through until she's "found" a song she thinks she'll like and starts playing it. Your...

    Hey Faire_jour, I'm sorry some people feel the need to attack your daughter in real life or on the internet. I'm hearing and I don't have anybody in my family whose deaf, so I don't know what you went through when you had to make a choice. My choice personally would be to not implant my child...
