I should go back and fix that. My computer is slow, and it doesn't pick up everything, so if someone signs too fast I can't understand what they say. It also doesn't pick up everything I sign if I'm too fast. I need to get a new, better laptop. :giggle: But until I have a job I need to just deal...

The dictionary definition of "dumb" is the inability to speak, so I don't necessarily find it harshly offensive. ["Mute" would be a synonym you might use to sound less rude, but I suppose it all depends on who you're talking to when you say it.] ((EDIT: Didn't realize other people had...

Do we have any lacrosse players or fans here on AD?

I had a substitute teacher one day for the ASL class at my school. She turned to one of the deaf students in the class (she, another friend of ours, and I go in for our lunch period) because she was having a conversation with another student and tells her, slowly and loudly (very ignorantly)...

My buddy Julian drives a lot. I think the reason that most deaf drivers are better than us hearing folk is because deaf drivers have to be more careful since most can't hear the sirens, bells, whistles, etc. that are used as alert signals. Gonna have to go hang with him some time, actually...

I'm up for video chats also, but my camera tends to be slow a lot so I don't know how well it will work out. skype: ispitfire1994 Tell me you're from AD otherwise I won't accept the request. :x

This is just bizarre. :crazy:

That just looks... disgusting... test it sure but don't drink it... GAG!

There's 2 reasons why that wouldn't work: 1) As you stated before, nobody is going to willingly put the app on their phone. So it would more than likely be in the software. 2) If the phone is moving at all then that would mean the phone would be disabled. Which would mean the phone would...

I have to say, I'm in agreement with ki4jgt. That's the way I was raised. It's a shame to see all the food that we, as a society, waste on a daily basis. She got the food, she should have ate it. It's not so much the staff FORCING her to eat it as it is just common sense; You should never take...

Honestly, in the opinion of one hearing person, I think wearing your hearing aids proudly is the strongest thing you can do. Especially to overcome your self-consciousness. A friend of mine (Julian) wears his every day to school, but I think that's mostly because it makes communicating with...

I see what you did there Reba. Haha. :)

:wave: Hello Mandy. :welcome: to AD!

Very sneaky of you. :giggle: Currently I am thinking of whether I should invest in either a laptop or a cell phone when/if I get a job. :hmm:

Sure thing Jennifer. I am hearing learning ASL from some of the deaf students at my high school. If you would like to use Skype my user is "ispitfire1994" (without quotation of course). I am able to be on (at the moment, because I hope to get a job soon) between the hours of 2PM and 6PM your...
