I'm not able to find it. Can you tell me how, please?

Do any of the VCO/VRS services still provide videophones that don't use a phone or computer, and don't need a tv? Like, they come with their own screen? If yes, when using VCO on them, can I still hear the other person talking? I mostly rely on the interpreting but I like to be able to hear...

Hi all, I'm working on writing a story, and one of my characters is deaf. In the story she has recently been adopted, but before that she was in foster care. I was wondering how the foster care system is for deaf kids, and particularly I was wondering whether some deaf foster kids go away...

I agree about it being important for her to make some real life friends who get it - alas, their car just broke down! At any rate, my sister's working on it, trying to figure things out. I'll mention what you said, CSign, about the Itinerant TOD - would she have one if she's homeschooled? I...

No, I think the only other dhh person she knows is an older gentleman at her church. I've been trying to encourage my sister to get the family involved in their local deaf community, but it's kind of tough due to some details of their life right now. I did ask her if I could post on here...

I meant to add, if any community members from elsewhere in the world want to join in, 1) YAY!!! and 2) can you please, if you use a sign language other than ASL, caption the video for her? <3 Thank you. :)

Hi everybody. :wave: I have a favor to ask. (I hope this is okay.) My niece is the cutest little girl on the face of the planet. She’s 8 years old, and so smart and cute she really ought to be a cartoon instead of a human being. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up, and if life gives...

The last one I watched was episode 6 in season 3, "Evolution of the Daleks." I tend to watch in fits and spurts, and I haven't had a good marathon in a while. Maybe when I can finally get caught up on my biology homework I'll reward myself with some Who! :hmm: How far are you?

1. The 9th Doctor :) 2. I'm a fan of both. 3. Glasses. 4. Hmm, I've only really seen Rose, Martha, and a tiny bit of Donna. I guess I like Rose the best, because the Doctor loved her and that somehow made me love her, too. 5. I'd like to go back a couple hundred years and meet some of...

I have one fairly close friend who is in ASL class with me, and a few acquaintance-friends from that class, but that's about it. The friends I spend the most time with don't sign at all. I wish they did - my family went to see a musical this weekend that had interpreters, and I was amazed at...

Thanks so much, you guys. :) It's such a good feeling to finally understand why some things feel so sucky, and to know I'm not the only one who's felt that way. I thought I was not fitting with my friends anymore, that we'd outgrown each other or something - now, knowing what I do about how I...

Same problem here.

I had a -moment- tonight in ASL. It's sort of a two-parter. The first part happened when a man in my class, who has a progressive hearing loss, was talking about some of the things he's been experiencing. For instance, his wife, who knows he is hard of hearing, forgets and turns her back to...

I looked there, but it seems like the same episodes are missing. It goes straight from episode 22 to episode 25. Thank you for the link, though. :) I'll bookmark it to check again later.

Eep! That stinks. :( I'm in a good spot, but I have a bunch of friends farther north who've been evacuated. This is crazy! No rain today, though, so maybe things are beginning to ease up.
