Happy with an L hand! :D

I don't know if you know yet (I'm beta testing the new dashboard so I don't know if it's public yet) but the latest version of Netflix on the 360 (which came out yesterday for us) is WITH subtitles! :D

Alright... joining the thread now as I got my diagnosis today. My doctor got me on betaserc and triamterene... Any known side effects? Anything I should watch for?

Because it is a known fact?

No need for insults :) ... I'm not saying I'm not using the book. Quite the contrary in fact (being a teacher and all). All I'm saying is: we can allow ourselves to question and criticize the book.

Who made the book? A WHITE MAN. A book of majority by the majority.

Hey! I'm "that other ADer on G+"! Yeah the movie is just excellent! I'm happy I found it! :) Nice to see an open-captioned movie for once! ^_^ I must add: There's more to the music video than the written words... All the pretty colours shown in the "deaf world" part of the clip is a nice...

No one is wheelchair-bound at the moment but that is indeed a good question. It's a manual elevator so I think it's possible...

Another quick update: The internship is over in a week. I think I'll pull it through even though many times I thought of just quitting. Being deaf in a hearing school WITHOUT access to an interpreter sucks. The Department of Education here is really retarded when it comes to giving access to...

Maybe it takes into account cultural differences... like there used to be a Canadian-Oxford Dictionary. In Montreal, CSL is 'Cote St. Luc'... a neighbourhood... got me confused there for a second.

Time? Foreign concept to me at the moment... I've been running around like a headless chicken for the past month.

I'm doing an internship right now with evening classes so I'm limited when it comes to going to Student Services... They have my file though and I sent them an email asking about terps... Mackay Center? That's the place I was talking about... 3 weeks without getting any news from them. [Still...

I see what you are saying jillio, the problem is probably from how I was raised... The fact that I am still struggling with the loss itself also makes me emotional when it comes to dealing with things like that. I was supposed to get some counseling as well but no news from the organisation...

I've been thinking more and more about getting interpreters for classes and other functions but I'm beginning to learn ASL and even though I know enough signs to get by comprehension-wise... I'm still uncomfortable using interpreting services. I know there are terps who do oralism and that...

I'm so sorry I haven't posted a lot lately. I started an internship in a hearing school 2 weeks ago and it's been very hard on my energy levels... I keep lurking but haven't had the time (or energy) to post until now. As far as adapting to the school goes... everyone (including my grade 6...

You can hide your circles, I just did.

Something has been bothering me lately... I've came across several people (friends/family members/co-workers) who don't know about my hearing loss yet. The problem is that I don't know how to tell them without attracting pity and being embarrassed about it. Tips anyone? I did make a massive...

Apparently I won't be coming to Ottawa... I have ball practice and my ride wouldn't get me back on time.

You shouldn't skip your birthday!!! When is it? I might actually be going to Ottawa next weekend so we never know! ;)
