I have a friend who's studying for a PhD in literature. Lately I've been trying to introduce this friend to ASL storytelling. Thing is, my friend has never signed before in her life. While there are many great videos out there, captioned ones might help most. Do you know of any great...

*psssst* Your inbox is full as Helmut Kohl after a quadruple-entree dinner. ;) My PM to you bounced.

Where can I find deaf events happening in MA? Anything'd be great! :)

When dealing with selling or buying property, do you skip the realtor and go For Sale By Owner, saving thousands of dollars? Who else here is into that besides me?

Lately, I've been trying to figure something out. Interpreter fees are reasonable when you attend a sponsored lecture, a business meeting, or similar events. But what if I'm at a small club with low membership dues (Toastmasters, etc.)? Obviously asking for an interpreter at standard rates...

This is post numero one thousand! Now I can officially proclaim my status as "AD nut." ;)

Not too long ago there was some discussion on deaf personnel in the armed services. There are, in fact, many, many deaf people employed by the military in non-combat positions. Testament to that, I just recently I got an inquiry from the Air Force (I leave my resume floating around all the...

So someone I know is purchasing an SK2 independent of a carrier. He's now shopping around for the best deal he can get for service on his SK2, do you guys have any advice here? (I admit I'm curious about the responses too)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11545564/?GT1=7756 I have SO much to say on the topic of economic growth and how it relates to population growth. Unfortunately, quite a bit of it is not very good at all! One basic thing we economists are taught in macroeconomic theory is the Solow Growth...

Some people here in this forum put money into lotto tickets. They hope to make money. Even good ol' Endymion wants money too. But let's see what the real story is behind the Lotto. According to the Virginia Lottery, the odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot is: 1 in 135,145,920. That...

Happy birthday, silly! :birthday: I have personally arranged for Cary Grant (the sexy twenty year old version of him) to fly over to your place and give you a personal visit. Unfortunately, the INS, CIA, FBI, USDOJ, and BLS all seized my marvelous time-warp equipment I'm using to bring...

'Twas a silent eve. Nary but a mouse stirred in the empty hollows of Endymion's place. Battle was immenient. Fatigue, the dreary leech of literary combat between the text and the reader, stood nigh, ready to swoop in like a vulture who only knew easy prey. Knowing this well and defiant of...

Today I met with someone representing a firm. We had a good, informative conversation and at the end she gave me a freebie like those pens with company names engraved on them. This freebie, however, happens to be bath confetti for one time only. I thought to myself "This is awful...

Some people have been asking about the missing head on my avatar. To satiate their curiosity and indulge my own affinity for goose chases, here are four possible pictures. Ladies and Germs, it's the sixty-four thousand dollar question!! Which one is the true and real Endymion?

So I'm trying to decide between the Sidekick II and the Blackberry. I'm going to buy a mobile device very soon and would love some advice on choosing between the two. Which one would you get? Why? And just because y'all be so nice, dis 'ere be a funny picture from the internet. Poor kitty...

This is one of my favorite poems. Got any favorites you want to share? Sir Walter Scott, Lochinvar: O young Lochinvar is come out of the west, Through all the wide Border his steed was the best; And save his good broadsword he weapons had none. He rode all unarm'd, and he rode all...

Who here has a CI or is thinking of one? I have the Clarion CII and received it about three years ago.

It's good to see an active, friendly deaf community online! The name's Endymion, and I spend my days doing strange, bizzare economics and finance stuff that turns out to be lots of fun. I'm in my early/mid 20s, am Deaf, am of a Deaf family, and have a wonderful CI. I also use ASL and adore...
