Hmm We are beginning the PECS system and using signing, and I need to learn more too... I wonder if there is room for both..... I have been signing for everything she asks for as well as the word. And her language has just been blossoming over the last couple weeks... like sky rocketing...

Thats a great suggestion. I am not sure where my aunt found it, but she gave us a placemat with the handsign alphabet for my daughter. She uses it every meal! My friend's mother found a poster for her room too at a teacher supply store. I had a smaller poster of common signs from an old "baby...

NO, one dog. My daughter is 4, the dog is for me and maybe someday when she is older we may look into an autism dog for her, when we have a more space. Right now we are looking at a hearing dog to help me with alarms like doors and windows and her bed alarm because she tends to wake in the...

Can you tell me where to find info on this trouble they got into? I would REALLY appreciate it! I am currently fundraising for a dog for myself (and my daughter) through NEADS. All the dogs I have met have been incredible. My friend has a hearing dog through them and I know several service dogs...

Wow, busy schedule. There isn't anyone at the club learning as well? Bummer. I had a group I ran into that was similar back in VA when we lived there. Had to know sign or I wasn't really welcome, yet. No oral deaf in the group. Or at least it was not encouraged within the outtings. Do you do...

I was one of those who agreed somewhere back there.....

Anyone else, (and I am assuming F_J the Op might be included but I hate to assume) feel this thread has gotten way to much attention? If the nastiness were to be taken out... there was some validity to the thread way back when it started. Even a little good debate for debates sake. But this...

I wish somedays I had that option...... but I miss life too. I am getting a lot of feed back from my family for being on my computer to much already! I have to force myself to interact with people..... getting harder and harder, hearing wise. Thankfully at least at church, my pastor now gives me...

Good luck tomorrow! You will have to let us know how it goes! Anything to make the world a little less tipsy! I am not sure where to start with my treatments... I am already having nearly no sodium. And did HCTZ for two years before we knew I had this.... with symptoms still. So I think we...

This is exactly what I read it to mean...... :ty: for explaining anyway. Maybe it's different and some people understood the scenerio differently because we have lived it? I have worked in customer service too and been the one laughed at by deaf families for not understanding (long before I...

F_j, I think it would have been hard not to react with a friend, at a party with kids, in some manner. But asking her to communicate with the person in charge of the party was right on! Kuddos! I only help out (being HOH out with deaf friends) when my friend give me the "what did they say?"...

My adjusstment to HA's has to deal with the constant (so it seems) need to have the filter cleaned out..... it drives me nuts. esp my right one. Seems it goes "dead" all the time cause the filter has a spec of dust I can't see in it. And with my schedule with my daughter I can't just go to my...

Wow, what a summer you have had

I have a 35mm SLR I still love. I have my point and shoot digital too that I use for everyday stuff, since film isn't cheap and yeah it takes a lot of shots to get one keeper, but I still think nothing compares to real film still. There are to many distortions between computer screens, printers...

Thats great progress.... I can't do those groups.... never could stand up in front of people and talk about it....

You have been doing awesome! Keep up the great work!:D I found out my meds aren't messing with my liver so all is good. I can keep them. And I can keep losing weight too......

No neurotologist yet. Not sure there is one up here. My ENT has put cochlear hydrops as a formal dx for me without them and sent it to my insurance and my primary, and is working on the paperwork to back it. He wants to start hydochlorothiazide (again since I was on it before) but I am not sure...

I was and Botts too! :ty: I would think they would know if it was salvagable you would have saved it! :hmm: Oh well.... I am glad you are doing ok. What crazy times this year has been for so many it seems....

Nah broken bones aren't as big a deal anymore I guess..... unless they are really compound or in areas that need surgery or pins. I only went in for half of mine..... and most were just xrays and taped. Most found after the healing was over. And yes I drank a lot of milk as a kid. Just very very...
