So my brother in law comes home last night and decides he too is now deaf. He announced that he's also going to get a Cochlear implant for Christmas and new hearing again for the new year. He has never even been to an audiologist and has never shown or mentioned any signs of hearing loss. I...

As some of you read my post earlier about my dog and brother in law, I was out doing some shopping and when I came home my gerbil is missing. Bro in law says he knows nothing about it but I noticed he's been scratching his butt a lot tonight. I can't prove anything but I am suspicious. Should I be?

It's been awhile since I posted here but thought I'd reach out. My brother in law is staying with us because he and my wife's sister are not doing well. He is not blood related and honestly I don't care much for him. He will spend hours in the bathroom and always manages to clog the toilet. He...

We DO NOT have to accept this. We certainly didn't in the past especially during World War 2! And no nuking isn't the answer but we sure as hell have to stop tip toeing around this problem. General Sherman said war is truly evil. And the more evil it is the quicker it is over with. We have to...

Good call Jezie. I can also mention a coworker. Her brother had meningitis like I did but unfortunately he died from it. When I first started she would always help me and recap what they would say at our start up meetings. She became one of my best friends.

I was just reading and actually contributed to a thread called "What Ticks You Off". And its things that hearies do that are insensitive, misguided, mean or just plain ignorant. I love the thread because I myself have dealt with plenty of that for over 35 years now. I have never known anyone in...

When I'm in a restaurant or a store and the clerk mumbles something. I tell them I'm sorry I can't hear you so they just mumble again. So then I ask again and what do they do? Mumble. AGAIN!

Also. Why would someone join a deaf forum if they thought they were superior than deaf folks and that we were abnormal. Pfft. Welcome Bitner. Not everyone is here to pick fights.

It was not a bad choice of words. I want people to stop playing the victim. We have all been bullied, abused, misunderstood, cast aside, or neglected. But guess what folks, its not just deaf people. Everyone has suffered some sort of injustice by other people and/or groups. You want to be a...

That's not what they meant

To answer the original question. Weather you first paid rent or not, if you do not pay back a loan no matter what the amount is you are not a freeloader. You are a dishonest bum.

Go to any bookstore like Barn's and Noble and go to the graphic novel section. That will be easiest
