    How is your weather today part II

    Partly cloudy here in S. California. The past couple of days were very warm so we need more rain. I know some people are freezing their butts off but we need all the rain we can get out here.

    Strange human behavior

    I have a generic champagne-beige colored car and I find it in the lot by the keychain I have hanging off the rear view mirror. This has happened to me twice now, I'm so busy looking out for cars driving around in the parking lots that I walk up to my car to unlock it but the key doesn't fit...

    Deaf culture facts that might surprise you

    Wasn't that awful? Personally, all I know of sign language is the alphabet but even I knew that Mandela interpreter was fake. If I see something on TV and there's a person signing, I always note their facial expressions. Closed captioning is a life-saver for me with the TV. Even watching...

    Why are you deaf?

    Yep, the louder the better was the attitude of those days. I had a Carvin tube half stack that I would sit in front of when I'd practice. Those tube amps cut right through your ears.

    hard of hearing and social skills

    I've been in denial about my hearing loss. I hate doctors, I tried seeing a doctor about it but I was afraid of having a CAT scan and them possibly cutting into my head for surgery so I never went back. My audiologist wanted me to wear two hearing aids, one in each ear and I was so freaked out...

    Why are you deaf?

    Mine happened gradually. When I was a kid I blasted my Walkman through the headphones and then I listened to metal music really loud growing up and I've played the guitar for years. I'm sure that's what caused my tinnitus. I also more than likely have otosclerosis. According to audiologists...

    hard of hearing and social skills

    I've become so isolated the past several years. My hearing aid recently broke and I'm so filled with anxiety to even have another hearing test for a replacement. When I go in public, I pray no one starts a conversation with me. I spend a lot of time online because you can't hear anyone. You just...
