| Sounds like you need to deal with your depression & mental health first and foremost before you should be seriously looking for a partner. I hope that doesn't sound rude. It's the same (very wise) advice I received from a friend in the past.. and it's served me well. Focus on yourself, your heal... |

| Not formally, but my best friend since high school & his wife are both deaf. I've learned a few signs & can finger spell with ease. I can also read lips. I find that I tend to focus on people's mouths in order to read their lips vs. paying much attention to their facial expressions. I can re... |

| Here locally in Richmond, BC, Canada, near the Vancouver International Airport. They have future plans of building up to 8 more smaller centres around the Province, too. $20M came from the Province of British Columbia, the rest from private philanthropists. Hopefully it turns out to be a great resou... |

| Money is worthless. Money isn't everything, but it isn't worthless, either. It comes in pretty handy in order to obtain all of the necessities in life, and then in order to get things/experiences/travels etc that we want. It's a pretty useful tool. Society has accepted money as the currency require... |
