I'm glad to see this thread just because I have not been given a name sign yet and people keep asking me what it is. Being as ASL student, I have been very busy finding avenues for interaction and have joined a Deaf Christian fellowship group. The group has a mixture of deaf, Deaf, Deaf-Blind...

Nanelle, I am an ASL student at Troy University online and have purchased the Signing Naturally textbook w/ DVD series for ASL classes 1 - 3 so far. You do not have to have internet access to use these materials. The books can be a bit expensive, but they are also older (in my opinion) versions...

You're married to my husband too??? Learn something new everyday. :giggle:

You'll know you're really loved around here when you shut down every thread you post in...just watch...now that I've posted here you'll likely see dust bunnies running around this one. :giggle:

:wave: Nice to meet you!

I went to work today, got done at noon, came home with all intentions to check things off my to-do list, and did absolutely nothing worthwhile except feed my kids and make my daughter's spunky hat for "hat day" at school tomorrow.

I have morning brain and self-induced morning ears.

Ok so I'm going to throw this out there and while it won't provide a solution to your volume "issue" (or lack of an issue in the big picture), maybe it will be a little comforting to you...and maybe even to "all yall" (in my true southern form). Hearing people have different speaking volumes as...

Ok, so I can't answer any of your questions to the degree that you're wanting because I can hear, but I did consider the questions and what I came up with was this: (And please bear with me as I suspect I will come across as pretty naive and/or ignorant regarding the matter.) How would the...

Hi Badgers00...I'm an ASL student as well. I'm hearing. I go to Troy University online. Nice to meet you!

I typed your skype name into the add contacts box and it said that name isn't found.

Other options for the soap part are Zote soap (which I found made my whites dingey -- spelling?) and Dr. Bronner's Castille soap. Soap nuts are supposed to be a healthy alternative as well, but I've never used them.

I switched to the homemade detergent because my daughter has super sensitive skin and even the "free&clear" detergents were causing her to claw her skin. This hasn't bothered her, but everyone is different. I also use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. It reduces static but also rinses...

Sure! I use 3cups Borax, 3 cups Arm&Hammer Washing Soda, and 1 bar Fels-Naptha laundry soap. I grate the soap to powder amd then just mix it all up in a container. Wala!

How cool is that?! I started fresh herbs (and some vegetables) from seed this year and had a garden. It didn't produce enough to sustain our family vegetable consumption, but it was a nice supplement. I also do my cleaning with vinegar and baking soda...and lemons. I also have been...

Amazing what you can accomplish when you just don't sleep huh?

I cook as much as I can from scratch, but I stick to down home comfort foods mostly. I made a mean pot of chicken and dumplings just the other night. A friend of mine asked me how I made it and I told her it all starts with an organic chicken and a pot of water. I think I lost her at that...

I love my Blackberry and my laptop, but I'm not very proficient with electronic devices beyond the basics. I own 2 pairs of Crocs. I love quirky accessories like the hats, but I'm more drawn to the handmade variety. A lady from my church made me a scarf last year and it's one of my faves.

My mother doesn't need a caregiver at this point in her life, but if/when she does, it will be me. My MIL and I...well, we won't even go there. My kids are all young, but I am their primary care giver...who would have thought that a person could have 2 part time jobs, go to school full time, and...

Hey, it's a start. We both learned something new about someone today. And just think, nobody threw objects across the room just to start a conversation. Awesome.
