I realise that the government spends money on other things as well, but I still feel that if they spend less on me, they're spending less than they'd be spending otherwise. But I think I do understand what you're saying. If suddenly nobody needed government financial assistance any more, would...

Taking money from the government results in higher taxes. That means every time I accept financial support from the government, everybody who pays taxes is paying to support me. Giving money back to the government results in lower taxes. Why would I not want to repay my debt to society? I'm...

I don't think I'm actually letting anybody force me to conform. I guess I'm just doing it because of the economy, and I can't afford to neglect anything that might affect my chances of some day (hopefully soon) being able to make a living.

Sorry, I thought you were joking :Oops: Annie is really super common where I grew up. I have a lot of family members in my extended family whose middle names are Annie. :giggle:

I graduated with a girl named Jennifer! :rofl:

No harm done :)

That wasn't my sentiment. I was rephrasing Cheri to see if I understood correctly. For my part, this board has been very helpful to me in terms of adapting to the social changes in my life. Without the help of this board (or rather the people on it), I would not have had the will to seek the...

:gpost:

Let me see if I understand this correctly. You say no deaf person has ever been helped by another, so why should that ever change? :hmm: The hearing community is who I finally had to turn to, and they are helping me. They were also able to think of methods less absurd than rioting in the...

I'm working as hard as I can earning credentials and learning new skills in order to get a "real job" in the hearing world and on the hearing world's terms because there's nothing fun about getting free money, it isn't easy, and there is no pride in it. There are tremendous restrictions placed...

My doctor did tell me that I wouldn´t hear as though I had normal hearing.

Oh yeah! I was just confused with Tweety and Silvester. That was my sister's favourite cartoon when we were little :)

Oops! I see! I missed the word "toy" when I read that the first time :giggle:

I collect Hasbro's My Little Pony, though with the introduction of the G4 (2009) line, I might start collecting fakies too (especially if fakie makers start painting better eyes on their ponies) because I will not be buying G4 ponies. Wait, you have (gulp) animals on your bread box? Um...

Why do you feel lame? I watch My Little Pony, and have ever since I was 9 years old, and I'm 31 years old now. There were very very many cartoons that had little or no voice, especially the earlier cartoons! They were all about action! We don't see those kinds of cartoons often these...

Every institution around here teaches ASL 1 and 2 only. There are none that go beyond that. It would be nice if I could move on. But I guess my family are stuck with our own private version of sign language without a name.

I got my new diet for crohn's disease, and it also comes with a new eating schedule, which really changes my entire schedule in effect, which totally messes up my life. But I gotta do what's best for my body, so I really have no choice.

Woops! There goes my hearing again. I can't hear the fan or my computer, I can't hear running water, I can't hear the toast pop up, and I can barely hear the TV at maximum volume. I wish it would just go one way or the other so I don't feel like I've lost something every time it changes...

:rofl:

How good of a helicopter pilot can you get? Because if he can fly in the storm, you can use an infra-red search camera. I guess that also depends on what kind of woods they are. If they are deciduous and it's summer, you might have a hard time reading the animal's body heat through the cold...
