Alright, thank you for asking!

Okay, yeah that would be great! I'll be in the Kalaheo area. So South Kauai.

That would be awesome! Is he completely deaf though? I'm looking for someone to interpret the service for me.

Yeah, I've noticed the Deaf Community there is almost non-existant so it should be interesting trying to find someone. :P

I'm going to Kauai next week to visit my mother and was wondering if any interpreters or hearing people who are fluent in ASL live on Kauai. I'll be visiting my mother's church and they don't have an interpreter. My mother knows sign, but not enough to interpret everything. I know this is late...

For me, becoming voice-off it's the conscious decision. The conscious decision for me if trying to stay voice-on. I don't slip because being voice-off comes more naturally to me than speaking. So for me, my 'slip' is when I forget to speak and strictly sign to someone forgetting they don't know...

I'm pretty much living in a hearing world as well. I mean, I grew up in the deaf community, and am slightly immersed in it still. However, for the most part, I am the deaf girl in a hearing world. I am lucky enough to have a few friends learning sign for me so I do sign with those friends. The...

I am a late-deafened oral deaf (I've been a part of the Deaf Community my whole life ironically). However, recently I've been deciding to slowly become voice off. I never want to lose my ability to speak because people tell me all the time how great I still sound. For me, it's more of a comfort...

Sign for 'Duh' Is there a sign for 'duh'? I know it's not a real word, so I'm not sure if there is a real ASL sign. I know people do the gesture by hitting the side of your hand on your chest, but I'm sure that's not a real sign.

I am late deafened. I was hearing, then became HOH a few years ago, and now am completely deaf. I do feel vibrations even when a lot of hearing people don't feel it. But I tend to not think about the vibrations unless I'm intentionally feeling for them or something that lasts a long time like...

Does anyone else forget there is sound in the world or am I just weird? I notice lately I'm forgetting sound exists. The other day I was going into a room where my friend was sitting and he turned around and said "Hey." I asked him how he knew I was in there and he said because he heard me. That...

I'd be happy to help. I have Skype that I use to sign with my friends and anyone else on here that wants help. My screen name is: Anthropomorphic91

Me too. I'm legally blind. Yes, it says love. :) It's a painting I made a while back. I make paintings with braille writing on it.

I only have my ears and eyebrow pierced now, but I have had many holes in my ears, eyebrow and anti eyebrow, lips (in multiple places), nose, wrists, collar bones, belly, ribs, corset piercing (but I have scoliosis so it wasn't semmetrical and it bugged me), and my hips. I believe that's it. All...

I'm recently transitioning into voice-off. I've been voice-off in public when I'm alone for a while now, but I'm moving into doing it full time. I was curious what you used to write with in order to communicate with people. What works best? I have a notebook I already use, but I don't like that...

I've had many friend come to my appointments because when I'm too sick I can't drive myself. I allow them in my room most of them time. They just happen to interpret for me. It's not in any formal way. It's more, just anything I don't catch by lip reading they will interpret to me, but I speak...

What's the correct way to sign "Voice-Off?" I've seen this signed a few different ways. - 'Voice' 'O-F-F (fingerspelled)' - 'Voice' 'A sign similar to curious. Looks like you're turning a knob on your throat. Turning it off.' - 'Voice' 'Gone' Is there any particular way that is...

I don't remember my very first interpreter because most of my interpreting is just done by my friends. Because I lip read so well, I don't need interpreting too much in a small group setting. Sometimes I'll just look at my friend and they'll remouth the words clearer so I can understand it...

Actually, it would be nice to hear from a hearing person's perspective. (Which I take you're hearing from the post above.) How do you view people who are voice-off, oral, sign/voice-off, etc. Do you find it to be more of a struggle to have to write things down. If you knew someone was capable...

Exactly. I've noticed the people who have even the smallest understanding of sign are much more willing to learn more. Where as the people who don't know any sign at all usually say it's a waste of time and would rather I just lip read and speak. It's a good way of picking through your real...
