    Sign for 'Thus far

    I would sign SINCE because my interpretation of "thus far" is, like you said, "so far". It's a concept of time similar to "ever-since", or "up-to-now" and the way that I was taught to sign those concepts is SINCE. It's a good question! Everyone may not have the same interpretation. It's a...

    you heard about VBAC?

    The biggest risk with a VBAC is the scar from the cesarean - whether it was a vertical cut or a horizontal, or bikini-line cut. The odds are more in favor of a VBAC with the bikini cut, which is considered standard procedure these days. Also, if mom is in a hospital setting and is given...

    What would you do?

    I have no idea if this works in practice, but as a pre-driving teenager, I was always told to tie a white ribbon to my antenna so that emergency personnel would know that I couldn't hear sirens, and to bear with me (as opposed to blowing horns and possibly giving me tickets). I would imagine if...

    "You're not deaf"

    its' interesting though as a hoh raised in a mostly Hearing world, I have had aids since 6mos old. I talk really well, so much that people who hear me talk are surprised to find out I am hoh. When around Deaf people, I am embarrassed about it though. Even on this forum, I am sometimes...

    Trying to find Deaf resources

    Hey all I went through 12+ years of schooling with some small exposure to the Deaf world. I got to go to a Deaf camp when I was 14, and I visited Kansas School for the Deaf many times, and had a sign/Deaf Culture class till I was 15. Then I moved away to a pretty rural/suburban kind of...

    Oh how cool! BB (and that was his name-sign, too) definitely had a very strong personality and presence and a high standard, I was at a summer camp where Hearing and Deaf kids got together and one of the things we did was put on a show, which he directed. We had a lot of fun, and it was...

    Deaf parents wants their child to use signs.

    I don't really have an answer for you, except to say that it seems developmentally normal for your little one to experiment with talking. She's used to the world of signs, talking is new to her. She'll come back to signing on her own when she learns that it's the most effective way to get what...

    Bernard Bragg is a really interesting person - I was lucky enough to meet him and work with him in 1995. If you or anyone else is looking for topics to write about still, my personal recommendation would be to look into the student actions at Gallaudet in 1989 and 2006. I remember learning...

    New! hello

    Sure, think about it a lot, but I'm not sure how to get into it. I never see anything for Deaf events. There's a state school for the Deaf about 30 miles away, but I don't have a car, so that presents a challenge too. Thanks for the welcomes!

    Have anyone ever had an open relationship?

    Well said. My partner and I are in an open relationship. It's only brought us closer together, physically and emotionally. We talk about *everything* and if one of us is unhappy, we work together to fix it. We've been together 8 years and going strong. The most important thing is...

    New! hello

    Hi! I'm a 26 year old HOH person living in Kansas. I have 2 kids and an awesome partner. I'm interested in radical politics (or lack of) and the do-it-yourself lifestyle. I was raised mainstreamed and had minimal exposure to Deaf Culture - I'm lucky I had any at all. I learned ASL but...
