I know there were a few threads about this before but they were a few years old so i thought i would start a new one.. so i know it can be done, ive seen that there are a few deaf police officers. does anyone know if they allow deaf people to become cops in Pennsylvania in particular? i...

ok so, as i previously posted, i just became single in the past 4 days. it was a 3 year relationship and he was PSYCHOTICALLY jealous of me hanging out with my friends, especially when i went out to Deaf nights.. (there are a lot of guys there, so he just assumed i was having sex with all of...

Hey, I've been doing some reading up on PSE for class, and i am debating on doing my presentation on explaining the difference between ASL/PSE/SEE.. I've noticed a lot of my class tends to lean towards SEE. None of them really take the time to spend any time in the Deaf community besides the 6...

haha, that was a stupid question.. I suppose everyone has trouble sleeping now and then, but i figured the silliness of the question would draw you in! Anyway, in class a while back I remember my teacher telling us something about Deaf and HOH's circadian rhythms being messed up or...
