Can anyone point me towards a resource where I could find a terp for one day...a few hours actually. There is a formal ceremony coming up that I will be a part of and will not be able to sign for Spice. I'd like to find a terp for a few hours so she can come and enjoy the ceremony as well. Any...

Its been a very, very long time...but somehow made it back. How is everyone? I've missed all of my friends here a lot and its great to be back. (Thanks Alex)

"It is what it is..." That is a term I learned from a fellow officer and it holds true. First, its good to back after being gone for a month. I am deeply troubled about what took place while I was gone. The threads that were created about me...and then the constant attacking when I was not here...

OK...I was hoping for a logical discussion about internet safety for kids (children and teens) without involving any specific incidents :ty: To those of you at AD who are parents, what do you do for your childrens safety and protection when it comes to the internet, such as monitoring their...

Gally is ALL over the news here in Washington. Channels breaking in about the protest.

I dont want this thread to get into a heated discussion but wanted to share a few points. First to Alex, Thank You for standing up and doing the right thing. Many of us understand it is very difficult to run a message board, especially one with as many members as AllDeaf. There are many...

Ok...one of the problems I have with learning ASL is retaining the signs I do know. They just seem to fall out of my brain sometimes. I guess more interaction with signers would help that but.... I'm laying in a hotel room one night and I'm flipping around the TV. On Public Television was a...

I know there is already a related thread but I did not want to take away from that. This thread is EXTREMELY long but I ask that you read it completely if you have children, work with children, or have the slightest care in the world for children. Tonight, I decide I'm going to go to our...

I have recently started screwing around my digital camera. It has a video feature included but I do not use it that often. I usually carry my camera with me while working in case I need to take photos of something. I started screwing around with the video portion of the camera and stuck it up on...

I have been putting this off for some time and perhaps should have said something sooner. I am grateful that the many people here at AD have accepted me into the community. As you all know, I am hearing but have several deaf friends. I have also done a lot with not only my agency, but agencies...

OK..some of us have hobbies that others may think are strange. I've never mentioned it publicly on AD and many of my fellow officers do not know I have this hobby (although some members here know about it privately). For some odd reason (and yes, it makes me a dork and goofball), but my...

I'm kind of embarrassed and I hate to ask this LOL but I'm having a tough time finding the answer. I've recently seen a sign that is new to me. It is the letter 'T' tapped two or three times on the chest. Its just like the sign for policeman, however, its using the fingerspelled T. I'm not...

Not sure if this was posted anywhere but I did not see it. MIAMI - The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said. Brian J. Doyle, 55, was arrested at...

Hey Simpsons Fans...check --THIS OUT-- Probably old but I've never seen it ;)

I make it a point to stop by google every april fools to see what they are up to. Today when I looked at the front page of google, there is an ad on the front page for the new Google Romance section. It looks real until you start reading around (such as the FAQ). A direct link can be...

Have a somewhat funny story to share. As some of you know, I recently pushed for (and received) Deaf Awareness training for our officers, and this program is now included with our police academy. Anyhow, last night I was working what is called an 'overlap' shift where he have 2 platoons on...

Has anyone here ever participated in the Polar Bear Plunge? If you don't know what it is, the name says it all. Tommorrow, I'll be jumping into the Chesapeake Bay, freezing my butt off. Its all for a good cause so I really don't mind doing it (just complaining about it). The plunge benefits...

For those of you in your late 20's and older, you are probably more familiar with him: Pathbreaking Comedian Richard Pryor Dies Dec 10, 4:41 PM EST The Associated Press Richard Pryor, the caustic yet perceptive actor-comedian who lived dangerously close to the edge both on stage and off...

WOW Anyone know Don and Mike? I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Don and Mike syndicated radio show. I just found out that Don's wife was killed in a car accident near Ocean City, MD. Don was my radio mentor. When I was a teenager in high school and wanted to get into broadcast...
