    FYI, they (the deaf ed system) has fought, tooth, toe-nail and claw, against any and every new idea or thought since "forever(?)", or as long as I can remember. They fought digital HAs, CIs, new methodologies pertaining to education and when the CC decoders came out, the griped to the high...

    Hey, everyone, It is time for the local TV news and weather. See y'all manana. Maybe a good night of sleep will have you wake up in a better mood. SK HH

    That's me, Hammond Ham. I don't mind giving out my true name, especially if asked. He probably looked me up under my amateur radio call, K5ZYZ. I think I saw him, in an earlier blog, mentioning something to do with amateur radio. The Hammond came from my having several Hammond organs and the...

    There is nothing so educating as an intelligent debate but the atmosphere here seems to be a bit tilted to the status quo. I do appreciate the give and take, I find it stimulating AND I never take anything said as being personal UNLESS it was meant to be personal. I have clearly delineated my...

    Hey...You started this cat fight by one of your earlier posts. If you didn't like my "tongue in cheek" response to your most critical remarks, then all I can say, Lead, Follow or Get Out of the WAY! No one is paying you to castigate me on a personal basis and because you disagree with me. Find...

    Wow...I really don't quite know what to reply to your diatribe, but I will try, and be mannerly, too. first of all, I need to determine the reason(s) you are so defensive about what I communicate. Is there some internal hate for hearing people? Rude? Indeed, you have no real reason to call me...

    Who said that I "hate ASL users"? YOU DID, not me. You are assuming something not in hard evidence. That is your assumption which is ass-n-9. Don't internalize (take personal) everything with which you do not comprehend or differ. That is being an adult. SK HH

    Likewise, MAD DAME! You certainly have nothing worth while to post and, incidentally, I am not castigating any one individual, nor you. It is the educational system that stinks! It is the sole reason for under employed and unemployable deaf citizens, which fosters dependency. Why do you...

    Reba.....You must have been sent by GOD! What a pleasure to find you involved with SEE1/MSS. I am friend of both David Anthony and with Dr. Wanda Milburn of the Amarillo (TX) ISD. In the late 70's and until our 2 deaf kids were out of school, and since, I have maintained contact with both David...

    OK...Left ear implanted April 2007......Brain implanted NEVER?. Your narrow mindedness is evident and it "ain't" pretty. SK HH

    You are correct, it is not uncommon for signers, after years of communicating with their hands, to end up with "hand problems', usually carpal tunnel syndrome (my ex-wife has it, I don't), but it is NOT the fault of SEE1/MSS as you seem to (wrongly) think. SK HH

    Maybe, but you are not yet able to refute from critical thinking, you can only criticize. If you are as articulate (as you seem to claim to be) then stop the criticisms and critique from the basis of having 40+ years of experience, raising two deaf children and imparting English to my students...

    It wasn't. SEE1/MSS has many detractors, but so does ASL and other means of manual communications, but I know of no other sign system, other than SEE1/MSS, so well developed and documented so as to allow me to transliterate (professionally) at UT-Dallas for over 5 years (and it paid well, too)...

    OK, 38 pound underweight. You are so correct, I have never been deaf, even hard of hearing, but I now have head noises, so I can make some statements and without resorting to slander or gutter language. Just because you disagree, there is no reason to be totally disagreeable. I feel sure that...
