Friday night a friend dropped by. He was feeling lonely and depressed, and I would have been glad to talk to him and try to cheer him up—except that this...
Well, that is right up there with... "Never mind, it wasn't important" (when you ask for a repeat) or "She has selective hearing, she only hears what she wants...
I decided with my ex-husband--and eventually with my kids--that if they initiated an interaction with me, it was on them to make an effort to ensure that I...
Here is the response I posted at IVillage from the new CL just before she became CL. Then there was an extremely rude post to Dawn from Judy when she posted...
As to Judy's post as CL - - - Ick. Her nose must be very very brown. :) And, no, it wasn't my computer, which had no problem accessing previous boards. I had...
Oh Boy, oh boy! They are in for it now! I was actually being polite in my post... went back and edited my thoughts a few times before posting. That ...
They really are getting a bit over-the-top over there, aren't they? ***Wishing I had a little smilie-thing that rolls its eyes*** It's enough to make one a bit...
Alea, that is so true! During our heyday, I would sometimes try to access the board from a different computer, one without my bookmark for the site. Because ...
Tina, Your point about the Board being a community is a very good one. It is supposed to be a place where we can get support from friends, and the way the old...
Well, the rabble-rouser has posted and I am really looking forward to seeing the response. I even had the audacity to disagree with the CL about hearing ...
In the Holiday Music Post, our "friend" asked me what my relationship to deafness was... So, here is the post -- that will probably be deleted. Another bit...
Hi all ... ok I don't post here nearly as often as I'd like ... what can I say , life keeps getting in the way lol. I've wandered over to the 'old board' ......
You all probably know that I have otosclerosis and may know that I have had surgery (stapedectomy) on both ears to improve my hearing. The first was nearly 16...
Alea, Don't know if you recall my whole story. I had my first stapedectomy in 1977 at the age of 14. My hearing was "normal" following surgery until 1981,...
It turns out my firewall wasn't letting me connect to Yahoo. I don't know why, since normally there is no problem. I turned it off for now, but will turn it...
Below is my post to IVillage on the Holiday Music thread regarding the "deleted" post. I wonder if I will be "deleted" also????? Dodie I was reading the posts...
If I had more time I would definitely learn to sign, but for me it would be just for fun, sicne I don't have any signing deaf people to sign with anyway. But...
Hi Dodie! I do remember parts of your story, but I didn't realize that you had had so much damage to that ear. Thank you so very much for posting so quickly....
I am 53 years old, and was never even offered any of the surgeries y'all have been discussing. My hearing loss was birth trauma, not hereditary, and no one in...
Hey Everyone! It is funny that the new CL doesn't know diddly-squat and yet they delete my posts??? Oh well... What can you do> Alea, I hope that your...
hmm I was actually thinking the same thing ... ummm can someone ease my paranoia ?? ( why I've bothered posting @ ivillage is actually beyond me - worse yet...
Kim, What you are doing on iVillage is what we have always tried to do for anyone who asks for information. You are offering the information you have from...
Thanks Tina ... Because I went there soooooo very rarely - I don't have all the back story and such. I know i detest their interface ( it's slow, it's iffy ,...
I should be able to post more now . I`m not only getting used to this format...it takes me awhile... but I just got "downsized " from my job of 22+ years , so...
My daughter was upset with me awhile back since I couldn`t understand her when she spoke at a volume I used to "catch" before . She acted as if I was purposely...
