We start interesting discussion in another thread and kind of take off topic so bringing here. Journey very helpful to explain 'cha' but wonder about 'pah' morpheme. Do you know where these originate from? Or when you use them with other sign? Are there *other* morpheme? Just want a...

Provided by BSLBT. The facial expression on the face of Mohammed when he says his whole family is hearing broke my heart. :( BSLBT > Zoom > www.bslbt.co.uk/zoom/films/zoom_focus_2011/the_end/

Do not know if *right* forum but need to figure out problem with genetic deafness. Daughter having son on December 23. C-section. Cannot wait to see *new* grandson. :) She concern because one daughter already show signs of HoH. Before her 2nd daugher she already teach children baby sign...

Kind of sad because daughter home from University so take her to favourite restaurant with boyfriend and son. Think we will have another talk about /voice and can they please start ASL so communication easier for me. Daughter (18) say to me, "Mum, maybe if you give me your hearing test I will...

Interesting article about the possibility of Deaf ancestors from millions of years ago. Deaf News Today: Deaf Ancestors?

Forget to post that send naughty puppy off to boot camp with master trainer. He is gone for 3 weeks (YAY!!). When he returns home he will be good puppy. Kind of funny. Trainer write to ask for details on naughty behaviour so they can tailor training for him. Ask me if he is 'crate'...

Amongst the Deaf. Have you noticed that the Deaf associate regardless of age? Not when dating, of course, but in group socials. Even here I see how easy to get along with poster regardless if 20 or 60. On hearie forum I probably reply to people more my own age. Just realize today. I...

My boyfriend is hearie. I have been teaching him ASL along with him reading his ASL textbook in his free time very soon after we meet (3 months ago). Today he leave to go North for work. At airport he see security trying to explain to Deaf girl that shampoo too large to come with carry on...

I realize today from reading post that I do not have the voice that I want. That I need to take responsibility for the wrongs done me and make difference. That I, me, angry for wrongs. Okay to be angry but, then, do something about. Thank you Becklak today I start being me. Tired of...

Do you ever just get sick of it all? Asking people to accommodate you? How to talk to you? How to annunciate? I am! I'm *SICK* of it! I think I might go Becklak's route of voice off. As soon as you speak, and hearies know you are deaf, they think you can magically hear. I'm sick of people asking...

We rescue two kitties from kittie mill a year ago this month. One of the kitties, Sophie, she is so outgoing and needy and world revolves around her. Always try to sneak outside when too young. *DID* sneak out and we think she was lost (I post here about it). Purrs and meows a lot. She is like...

I wonder if I am the only one that experience these. First, I always feel like up in airplane, or high in mountains, even when I'm not. Ears feel 'pressure' 'plugged' and I open my mouth and move jaw around to release the pressure. Of course, it do not help any hearing but it relieves...

I think today about how some people who have accents are hard for me to understand. For example, I'm in Whistler, BC, for a mini-break until Sunday and front desk clerk is Asian but he do not annunciate 'English' if that make sense? I do, however, understand that he tell me about an, how do...

I'm feeling confused.:hmm: I grow up with musicians in my family and find it frustrating to not hear the music and words properly. The only way, when I was younger, was to wear headphones with volume really, really high. But, loud sounds really, really hurt my ears and need to be away from it...

Authentic made a post in another thread that got me thinking. Yes, dangerous. :giggle: He say, "Problem is most deaf guys don't like to eye-contact hearing gals." Is this true for Deaf men? For me, I'm the opposite. Maybe because I'm a woman and I want to *read* the hearing male to...

I have 4 kids. Two accept the Deaf Culture and the other two seem like they pretend that it does not exist (my Deafness and ASL). Of course, it is my own fault that I didn't immerse myself in the Community sooner so that they could also be exposed to it. Then again, my parents raise me as a...

I don't dream often but, last night, I dreamed and it was all in sign. People didn't speak. Just use ASL. Does anyone else dream in sign? Or, are your dreams with speaking? Combination? Curious.

Do you ever have time in your schedule for work where you have to be there over hours? I have been working 7 days a week for 5 weeks now and I am exhausted. I am also sick which do not help. Do anyone else have times like that? Where you need to work long hour? I want to run away. :giggle...

In August we adopt two kitties rescued from kitty mill? one boy and one girl. Adorable and beautiful kitties. We have not let outside because Vet say to wait until one year old. Not big enough to fight off predators. Probably not let them outside anyhow, but, we discover yesterday that girl...

I cannot say how incredible I feel tonight. Invigorated? Alive? Whole? I register for ASL to "re-learn" my native language and tonight was first class. I immediately feel at home in class as teacher does not speak but only sign, do facial expression, write on white board to teach. No English...
