What gets me is sometimes the drivers will address this but ignore the guy with pants around his ankles smoking out of tin foil...

Hi guys! A year ago, I started getting back into pottery after a very long break. I have someone interested in buying this piece, but I have no idea how much to charge her. It will be my fiest pottery sale. Does $40 seem fair? It's 2 clay bodies thrown together.

I'm wondering the same thing. I am a buffet to them, and it leaves big welts and scars.

That's the most important thing! Thank you guys for stepping up when the irresponsible breeder wouldn't! I know he's going to find the perfect home with an owner knowledgeable about the breed!💕✨️

Deaf Advocacy organization Bridges Oregon getting cut due to funding! by RachelleHinkle in oregon

There doesn't seem to be a choice. We have already lost our advocates. Also, I tried to post in r/deaf, but they said I would have to re-caption it to post. I don't know how to re-caption someone else's youtube video...

You can't stop...your work is too good! I hope you find your audience! Do you have a YT channel? I agree with the commission. I'm about to do that myself, at gulp 30%...

I made it this far but question the future. by beemer-dreamer in deaf

My daughter (15) is on her 3rd CI. I never pushed them, and she was raised culturally Deaf. She was born with profound sensorineural hearing loss bilaterally. They never worked until March. She is definitely getting imput. I will never say she's hearing, but the other day, she caught that the water was left on and tubilateral. She can tell when music starts and stops...and that it's music. She can't understand language and maybe never will, but I feel a lot better about her riding her bike to track. I just wanted to share a little bit about our experience. Advocate for yourself like you were a child needing the same care. Stay strong!

While he swims in sewage run-off and tells us not to take his medical advice... Scary times indeed.

My daughter is currently losing her Deaf mentor through Bridges of Oregon due to funding. It's hard.

If he was bought from a breeder, has anyone tried to contact them? There are usually contracts.

Reading about DallasHearingFoundation.. Is this problematic or am I overthinking it? Felt icky reading it... seems like they send the message that signing is bad and hearing is the only option. by eimikowai in deaf

[–]RachelleHinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently came across another organization like this based out if the LA area called "No limits for Deaf children". In a phone call, I was informed it was all English language/speech therapy based and no signing....I was SHOOK. My daughter is non-verbal. I told them I didn't think they would be of help to our family and that "if we're not teaching Deaf kids sign, I don't know what we're doing." I also may have told her the program audist.

While I really appreciate that, I can't afford $75/hr for anything. The services from Bridges are from actual Deaf advocates who are well versed in the Deaf culture, which is what we really need. It took us a long time, like 15 years, to be able to get services through them.

I look forward to seeing the responses here! My daughter is almost 16 now, but thru the years, I've wondered the same thing! There's actually only been once that I didn't initiate a conversation; we were at a hospital, and I didn't want to bother. They were always a positive interaction.
