Hi... It's been a LONG time since I've visited this website so I am sorry if this is a little late. LOL I am the mother of 4 precious children and all of them KNOW sign as well as my husband who is hearing. FYI, my kids are 9, 6, 4. and 3 and I used to struggle with them sometimes when they...

Weird reaction: "Pray to God and he will heal your hearing! I'm so sorry you have been touched by Satan! Go to God and he will make you hear again!".. on and on and on and on... WTF? My dad's cousin (they aren't close at all) came over to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving one year...

Sorry this is soo late... I hope you are holding out ok. If I lived closer, I'd go kick his butt for ya! This happened to my cousin years ago and we were quite shocked! She was living in Nashville and she flew here because her sister was having her baby by scheduled C section, and wanted...

I have always had balance problems, but that could be because I am also legally blind in one eye. I cannot drive at night anymore, either. The glare from the car lights really bother me and I can't tell if I am in between the lines on the road. I suppose I could drive in the dark in an...

UGH!! I sure know how it feels. I still get that comment when people find out I am deaf after we have been talking for a while. Who ever said deaf people cannot speak or lipread or any of that??? I love to tell them that my voice isn't broken... just my ears. LOL It's like telling people...

Hey... I have a deaf dalamation (sp?) and she is precious!! I got her about two years ago. The owner before me had to let her go because she was retiring and wanted to travel. She knew a little bit of sign so she did her best to teach the dog. I was nervous about having a deaf dog... but I...

Well... Looks like I won't be joining this thread. I got my CT scan results back and the doctor has informed me that I don't have the cochlear nerve in both ears (they never formed) so there is no hearing aids that would help me. No wonder I cannot hear ANYTHING! (At least, we know what the...

1. YOUR Nickname or NAME? Kimberly 2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My middle name is my aunt's first name. 3. HOW MANY HUMAN KIDS? 4 4. HOW MANY ANIMAL KIDS ? 2 dogs- 1 deaf dalamation, 1 shari-pei. 5. HOW MANY Alldeaf HAVE YOU MET IN PERSON? None 6. IF YOU WERE...

My MIL worked at the school I was teaching at so she knew a little bit of sign. (That's how John and I met) When John and I started dating, MIL took sign language classes so she could talk to me. She is still the only one other than my husband in his family who can sign with me... the others...

I'm a SAHMama as well. If someone had told me 5 years ago that I would be doing this, I'd have laughed in their face! LOL I was a teacher for 9 years before finally admitting defeat. It was too much for me to keep a full time job, go to school full time AND be a mother/wife! I finally had to...

Ok... here is mine.... I must have been around 7 or 8 years old when this happened. We were walking back to the van after eating at a resturant with my parents. My friend and I were busy talking and wasn't paying attention to where we were going and there was a van that looked exactly like...

I am PRAYING for snow here!! It's supposed to rain and then change to sleet/snow by Wednesday afternoon. We used to get a lot of snow, but not for the past couple of years. I prefer SNOW, not SLEET or ICE!! The kids are hoping schools will close... VERY UNLIKELY around here! LOL I...

Well, I know how you feel. I told my husband 2 HUGE lies while we were dating. He had told me that if he found out I had lied about those 2 things, he would leave me in an instant! So, I kept them a secret for so long. Well, we got married and he still told me he would leave me if I lied to...

I posted a while back saying that I was thinking about getting the CI. Well, after 2 rescheduling appts with the doc, I finally saw him last week. He is the best in the state (everyone keeps telling me that) and I was so scared that he would tell me that I wouldn't be able to benefit from it...

Well, I have always heard horrid stories so I never planned on going. Well, my mother was going to get me a new computer so she wanted me to go with her to pick one out. I made a HUGE mistake of taking my 2nd daughter who was only a month old at the time.... We went to Best Buy and I nearly...

We usually do it the day after Thanksgiving, but since we are in the middle of moving, I probably will only put up the Christmas tree this year.

I do still have my TDDs (I have 5- I have 3 different ones) and I was seriously considering giving them to deaf kids whose parents cannot afford Speed Internet service (for VP), but recently, my Sidekick II broke and we don't have DSL as of yesterday since we are moving... I thought I'd die...

We had Queen sized bed before we moved here and he would move so much while he was sleeping! THEN we moved here and we got a King sized bed and it seemed WORSE for some reason. I don't like King sized bed because it seems like we are so far away from each other and the kids always seemed to...

We are in the process of looking for houses as well! I think we have found one we like... it needs so much work, but as far as the foundational (sp?), plumbing, electricity and etc... look good, we can handle the rest. You guys were talking about inspection costs... Here in OK, it costs...

My husband and I have been together for 9 and married for 7 wonderful years. He is hearing and our 4 children are hearing. ALL of them sign very well. Funny because he only learned sign so he could ask me out so he always tells people that he was REALLY motivated to learn. LOL kmjbmama
