So, I'm supposed to sign a story in my ASL class and I kept forgetting to ask my instructor for the sign for "porridge". This wouldn't be that big of an issue, except I'm supposed to do the story tomorrow. Does anyone know a sign for porridge that I can use in my story?

Congratulate me! I'm moving this weekend!

I think there should be a staff page that lists the moderators and is easily located. I have been here for a while and (call me unobservant) I don't know who the mods are, except RR. I think that a staff page or a stickied post in the announcements forum would be very helpful.

Which email service do you use and why? Does it have a lot of available space? Does it have great features? (If so, what?) Does it have the look you want? How do you choose your email service?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this topic, but here goes. I was talking with some friends a short time ago and they brought up a teacher of theirs and asked if I could get some input. They are in an ASL class and the teacher is deaf. (I'd like to note here that I have never...

Ok, I need some more information for school. I have three questions I'd be grateful if you could answer. If you'd like to keep your answers secret, you may PM them to me, if you like. What is your opinion of adoption in general? What do you think of hearing adults adopting deaf children...

If you could choose any aspect of your life.... What would your name be? Where would you live? What would your occupation be? Would you be married? To whom? Would you have children? How many? Etcetera, etcetera

I want to answer questions. I don't really like asking other people questions, but I enjoy answering them. So, you may ask me questions, also.

My niece just had her first birthday and she can't hear (the doctors are unsure whether or not it's permanent). My sister (my niece's mother) asked me to ask you all for toy suggestions. She has 2 older children and most of their baby and toddler toys were sound-based toys. My sister would...

Do you enjoy cooking? I don't. I don't know why, it's just not something I enjoy doing. So, are you the coking type or the eat-out type? What's your favorite thing to cook? Mind sharing the recipe?

For a project, I need a human-arm puppet that has 5 fingers on each hand that I can use to sign with. For those of you who may not be familiar with puppets, a human-arm puppet is one where you can put your arms into the arms of the puppet. Anyway, does anyone know where I can find one?

My brother (9 years) and I were having a discussion as to whether an imaginary mound he'd created was a hill or mountain. We were unable to decide, so I had a brilliant idea! The dictionary! Unfortunately, the dictionary was no help. Mountain: a landmass that projects conspicuously above...

Am I just missing it? Most (er.....all) boards I post at have a "back to top" button so you don't have to scroll. Am I missing the one on this board or does it not exist?

Would you mind helping me out for school? I need (if you don't mind) Your first name: You father's first name: Your fathers age: You mother's first name: Your mother's age: If you could answer these for me, I'd really appreciate it.

I am in my second ASL class, planning to enter the interpreter preparation program at my college in the fall. Last semester, I received an "A" in ASL and so far, I've only gotten A's on my quizzes. However, I have so much trouble communicating out of the class room. I don't know why. The...

I was talking with my ASL instructor today (I was in her class last semester) and she said she had surgery a while ago that made it impossible to use her hand and she wasn't able to sign for (if I recall correctly) 7 weeks. What does a deaf person do when something happens that makes it...

Just out of curiosity, if you have children, what are their names and why did you choose those names? If you don’t have children, what do you want to name your future children and why? If you don’t plan to have children, which names are your favorites, and why?

I am going to school to become an interpreter. I grew up signing and signing is natural to me. I was talking to some girl I go to school with who said that they feel awkward when they sign. Is this normal when you begin signing, or do some people just have harder times signing than...

I believe I forgot to introduce myself, so I'll do it now. My name is Suzanne and I live in Colorado. I attend Front Range Community College in Westminster, CO. I'm in my second semester and hope to be entering their interpreter's program in the fall. My mother was an interpreter when I was...

I have some questions. But first, allow me to give some background. My mom was an interpreter for the deaf at my church and in the community from the time I was 7 and I basically grew up around the deaf. I decided that I wanted to be an interpreter, so I enrolled in the only interpreter...
