Thank you do much for taking the time to explain! That makes so much sense! Having been on GLBT forums, I know that there are those who come in and are "gawkers". No one wants to be the freak show for someone else's amusement and some of the visitors made it quite clear that this is what they...

She sounds like a keeper! :D

I have done something very similar. I see the dryer is running and I go into a different room. I can still hear it running. Later, I will find out that the dryer stopped but swear that I could still hear it running. I guess I remembered the sound more than heard the sound since it had stopped...

I see people asking why someone hearing would learn ASL. How important is it to you to know why? I am curious because I am finding it difficult to pinpoint why I was drawn to ASL. My Grandfather was severely HOH and refused to admit it so I watched him struggle with even the most basic...

Whoa, then ahhh, is a great description!

Again, I apologize. I was trying to show that there were parallels between different people of different abilities. I, in no way, meant to indicate that I had any experience as being Deaf.

I apologize. I was trying to explain that some of the answers I saw were related to human nature and not just to any one cultural. I was not attempting to answer the original question.

One would think that they could make them quieter since they are made for relaxation.

The motor that operates the jets and makes the bubbles is very loud, particularly because the gym I go to has a the hot tub by the pool where there is a very high roof and the sounds echo in the large space.

LOL! I told her, "I can't hear you. I can't hear anything over the noise of the hot tub." My partner was in the hot tub with us and of course I could hear her BUT she was sitting right next to me, speaking louder, looking at me and it is a voice I know. I guess she figured that if I could...

I only agree partially. How much teaching does one need to understand that you do not laugh at someone that does not understand you? Whose fault is it if someone does not understand someone else? Honestly, if someone can not understand me, I believe it is because I have failed at communicating...

I have a cousin with this condition. For her, it also means that she does not feel hunger or thirst. While it is manageable with care in children and adults, as infants it is quite difficult. How do you hold down an infant and force it to drink from a bottle? Quite difficult and heartbreaking.

Did you watch The Help? Did you like it? I have been debating on watching it ever since it came out On Demand

Ill will? Blinks... I can not even imagine where I could have interpreted any ill will in anything you said! A mild loss would be my guess. I don't tend to notice a loss but I work form home and spend most of time time with the same people day in and day out. It is very difficult to hear...

I think one of the most important things anyone learning any new language can do when these confusions arise is to re-look at the idioms and phrases you might take for granted. For example, what sense does it make that we drive on a PARKway? Or that one might park in the DRIVEway? There are a...
