You know what would be a good upgrade to this, a video chat screen with someone who can use ASL. One of my banks I use has installed new video chat screens that allow you to see the teller from one of the branch offices. I must admit I have not tried signing to them, but my mother who needs to...

Ok, for one, if the gas price jumped that much in a single move, you will see a lot of complaints, screaming and blogging.. but guess what you will also see… People filling up. The point is like it or not, most of America cannot just drop gas. Even those driving hybrids will still be...

BTW, it happened to me too, right above me. We called the police, and the land lord more than a few times.. and despite this, nothing happened until we moved out due to one of the residents above was a firebug and almost burnt the building down.. Twice. After we found out that he STILL lived...

And this is where it comes down to the the police enforcing it. If say a complaint is made to management of 15 people living above you, then a call to the police, the police check with management for a record of action. If the record of action is filed, the renter gets a black mark on whatever...

It is the same here, for every place I have rented (despite I feel that one of them took the cash, but never really checked). I think the difference here is can/should to “Must or loss of business license”. Personally I feel this should be mandatory for more than just immigration law...

Well, we have been looking at the stars for what, 2-4+ thousand years.. From the 1st flight of a airplane in 1903 to the first man in space 58 years later.. We have made leaps in the last 100 years.. Think about it, in the lifespan on one person, we went from "only the birds can fly" to...

I am not sure I am fond of the word ‘cure’, but I do have to say I tend to invite options. I have just started losing my hearing, and for those that are late deafened, this could be seen as a good option. Personally, I started learning sign and will most likely go hearing aids if they help...

Fines are not the way. forcing people into the boxes by gunpoint (even if it is the wallet you are pointing at) will do more damage then good... If you really want a TRUE voting system, one that is fair and inclusive without limiting free speech... a single field to write in your candidate...

One of the games we played in my ASL1 class was to boost fingerspelling of numbers. It is called Buzz.. You form the group into a ring, then one person starts at 1. next signs 2. When you hit any number with 3 in it(3,13,23,33, ect..) you fingerspell the word b u z z . Anyone that...

Every earthday, for some reason, I am reminded of a video... The End of the World | Flash Videos some of our members from down under may get a kick out of this too..

I can SO relate to this. I get tired of having to ask others to repeat what they say when I know that it is random small talk. Also, I will tend not to ask someone to repeat more than once. Hear what they say or not, I tend to default to “the nod” if I miss what they say second time. It is a...

Welcome to AD! Always loved the look of tat's, and always wanted one.. Nice to meet a artist.

The public should NEVER be allowed to vote to remove the rights of others. I am all for the rights of individuals, and for the right to vote (in my opinion, on more then what we can vote for now). The thing is, that one person’s rights should never be held in the hands of the masses. We would...

Good to hear. Most of the comments in here are from those that did not realize you are a student, or have forgotten the drain on you when you try to work and go to school. You had listed yourself as a student, I am guessing you are a full time student in college from you user name (23)...

OMG, I just found this thread and would have LOVED to have joined in. Let me know if you are going forward with this as a weekly thing. Also, Well, how did it go.. when did you all meet up (as in what time zone of 1PM, East, Central, Mount. or West?).. how many joined up?.. details.. details..

I use a Olympus DM-420. It has 2 mic's so each ear is recorded, with a mic jack for large hardware, and headphone jack (the mic's are really good on it). It stores as WMA or MP3 (your choice).. It can be jacked into the USB of my PC and I can store and copy the sound files any way I like...

As someone that is having issues hearing the instructor in college and new to the HoH world, I wanted to toss you a tip that I have been using that could be changed a bit to help you out as well. As I still have most of my hearing, when it works, I have started recording my classes on a digital...

I am right there with you now. I am learning sign since I have had random outages. I too have installed VR, since I realized that when I lost my hearing, my 1st thought was to call for help and realized that does not work very well when you can't hear. Since then, my hearing came back...

I have been wondering about this lately. 5 months ago, I had no idea about the existence of Deaf culture. I knew a kid in high school that signed, but we had no other exposure to Deaf culture or classes available for ASL. I cannot remember anything getting introduced when talking about...
