Well, I finally checked out iVillage "Connect." It is very "busy" and rather counterintuitive for navigating (as is typical of iVillage functions). The blog...
It seems to me that they are really shooting themselves in the foot, so to speak. They have discouraged people from coming to the site by making it more...
Hey Everyone! I, too, have dial up and iVillage was a major pain for me. I tried going to the iConnect thing, just for funsies, and, it was even worse!...

Tina and Dodie, I couldn't agree with you more. Some blogs work in a way that people can interact, much like a message board. However, I don't see that with...
Because of my 10 public websites, I get a lot emails each month from readers. Over the years, some of them have become friends, even though I have never met...
I am oooooh so sure you are real people! We even have proof that Tina is real -- because she was on TV and everything! LOL Have joy! Dawn Takes two to tango,...
I have had quite a few Internet friendships turn into RL friendships -- especially with my Duran Duran communities (yes, I am a member of multiple DD ...

Hi everyone ... I was going to post this over on iVillage ... but. Here's a brief update on me for the last (yikes) year !!! I've been sooooo busy I have no...
I a glad to be in this group and learn coping strategies. Yeah, hearing the phone, or the kettle, and the alarm clock has become a thing of the past for me....
Welcome to the group! As Tina said, there are many in this group who are not signers.? I happen to be the odd "hearie" who does! At any rate, I don't know how...
I have a single line for both my TTY and my amplified phone - I subscribe to a "teen ring" or "identi-ring" service for a few dollars a month that lets me know...
Welcome back, Kim-- So sorry about your accident. Yep we lost the iVillage board, but that might be better in the long run. It's an inconvenient site to...
I was reading an essay on The Huffington Post, a liberal news blog I vist each day. The writer displayed the most appallingly ignorant attitude toward deafness...
Thanks for the info Kimberley, I will check with my service provider in Canada. I know I have a fax line tied up with my phone already. So it is just a...
Interestingly, neither of my comments about deafness not being a "severe illness" or a "tragedy" and deaf children not being a "burden" to their parents was...
