Thanks for sharing your story! Are members of your family Deaf, and that is why you grew up in the community?

I don't think being Deaf had any bearing on whether my father was a good parent or not. I refuse to believe it, unless he was the one who had a problem with me being a hearing person. I know plenty of Deaf parents who love their children very much, regardless of whether or not they can hear...

I admire your love for animals, dereksbicycles! I have read many of your posts on this site, and see that...especially with ferrets! :D Unfortunately, my husband is allergic to both cats and dogs...someday, maybe we'll find one that is low allergy who needs a home.

Obama: If You've Got A Business, You Didn't Build That - YouTube Here is the actual speech. The context of "you didn't build that" refers to the roads and bridges he mentioned in the earlier part of the sentence. People like to hate things without fully understanding them. It's just the way the...

The man that the article is about didn't even listen to what Obama said before flying off the handle. Surely, you can't open and run a successful lumberyard without learning something about lumber from SOMEONE. Obama didn't specify "government" only. Give me a break.

Here is a link to an article about it: 'Legitimate rape' comment by GOP's Todd Akin shakes up Missouri Senate race - CSMonitor.com Unfortunate that there are still people this ignorant being voted into office.

I have several tattoos, but this is my favorite. It is a tribute piece to all of my family members who are deceased. There is a symbol for each of them.

Thanks, everyone. Since my family members on my father's side are really the only deaf folks that I know personally, I have to start from scratch as far as reaching out to the community. My husband and I just moved to a new town not long ago, so we haven't met any new people at all yet, but we...

As a hearing person, I can tell you that this is often true. My father's side of the family is almost entirely deaf/HOH, and because I did not grow up with them, and I am not fluent in ASL, I find it very intimidating to try signing in a group of deaf people. I feel scared that they will laugh...

The Dark Tower series are some of my favorite books! I met Stephen King once...he used to live in my hometown. Cool guy!

Thank you, Irish. :)

I think you missed the point of what I was asking. I'm not looking for a replacement for my father as a person. Just a group of friendly deaf people to help me learn about the culture, because I feel it is part of me. I felt it necessary to include some history with my father to illustrate why...

Hello all! My father, stepmother, half brother and sister, three uncles, both paternal grandparents, and more are deaf, some since birth, some developed hearing loss early in life. I am a "hearie", and so is my one full brother. Because my parents divorced when I was about five, I was not...
