I have four cats and they are taking over my apartment! I had a much older cat, 16 years, then last year adopted a young stray which I lured in with deli turkey. The stray got out for a week at the end of December and when she came back was pregnant. The two kittens are about ten weeks old...

I'm buying a house with an in-law apartment that I plan on renting out. I'm going to be posting my ad looking for tenants at RIT/NTID. What could I add to the apartment to make it more attractive to Deaf renters? I've got a bright flashing smoke detector and a flashing doorbell, what else...

Thank you for all the welcomes. And I don't mind the winter here because I actually like the cold, though I must admit it sure is nice that summer is coming!

I should get my cats microchipped in case they get out again. Do you know if it's expensive?

There are almost no qualifications required for fast food jobs. They screw up everybody's order! Hearing, Deaf, everybody. They get paid little, usually get treated like crap by their bosses and customers, and it really is a bottom of the barrel job so they don't care if they get fired or...

Growing up my family always used to have just the front claws of our cats removed, that way they still had the back ones for defense if they ever got out. One of our cats always used to sneak out and even without his front claws he would regularly hunt down birds and moles and bring them home...

One of my friends who is a huge X-men comics fan saw the new movie and was really disappointed. He said that for the most part it gets his early life right but then everything gets switched around after that. Since Marvel comics started making their own movies they have all been pretty good so...

This test has been in use for how many years and has worked perfectly well in determining who should be promoted up to this point, it is only when no African-Americans would have received a promotiont that it became an issue. You're basing your assumption that the test is flawed on the...

Oh, and don't forget the classic Jolt Cola! It comes in a variety of flavors that aren't terrible and is available in convenient resealable bottles. Kind of sweet though and the boost isn't amazing. They do have something called Jolt extreme (I think that's the right name!) that is a 2 ounce...

I used to work really really long hours when I was running my catering business. I would work in a restaurant all day then come home and do the prep for catering for most of the night. Some weeks I would literally go two days with zero sleep working around the clock. I became a connoissuer of...

This debate is doomed to keep going around in circles. You don't know the questions on the test and whether they were open to interpretation or not. If you don't know the information required to get the job then you shouldn't have the job, plain and simple. You may be a great...

This is my point exactly. While knowing the information doesn't necessarily mean that you can apply it, if you don't know it then you definately can't apply it. As you said, these people are already firefighters. This is not a test of how well they can fight fires, it is a test of how...

You say the test needs to evaluate a person's ability to apply the information, not their ability to memorize it? How can they apply it if they haven't memorized it? You must know this information first inside and out! This is not some simple office job this is life and death stuff, if you...

Thanks for the greetings. Sorry if I take too long in replying, busy busy busy!

Hi! I'm hearing. I live in Rochester and work at RIT/NTID. I wanted to meet some new people and get a new perspective on where some of my deaf friends are coming from. I've been learning ASL for about a year now, I'm still not great but I'm not done yet. Feel free to say hello.

They don't know they're asking a question that has already been answered a thousand times. I think that hearing ASL teachers put so much emphasis on Deaf culture and what can be offending to deaf people that ASL students often want to get a feeling for how true that realy is. For example, I...

Ah, I see. Since they don't know anyone here I would assume that they stick around long enough to post and then return to whatever social networking site they normally frequent where posting takes place at a different pace or they have friends to chat with. Probably forget the website and...

Hearing people have short attention spans? That's an interesting bias, I've never heard it expressed before. I had to laugh a little at that one. Why register here in the first place? To meet and interact with new people, to find out more about the "culture" of the deaf people you already...

Hearing people don't have shorter attention spans, this just isn't their prefered mode of communication. Also, if you don't know anyone here you probably wont be back too often to check on your posts. It's like having a facebook page without any friends, why even log on?
