Happy with an L hand! :D

I don't know if you know yet (I'm beta testing the new dashboard so I don't know if it's public yet) but the latest version of Netflix on the 360 (which came out yesterday for us) is WITH subtitles! :D

Alright... joining the thread now as I got my diagnosis today. My doctor got me on betaserc and triamterene... Any known side effects? Anything I should watch for?

Because it is a known fact?

No need for insults :) ... I'm not saying I'm not using the book. Quite the contrary in fact (being a teacher and all). All I'm saying is: we can allow ourselves to question and criticize the book.

Who made the book? A WHITE MAN. A book of majority by the majority.

Hey! I'm "that other ADer on G+"! Yeah the movie is just excellent! I'm happy I found it! :) Nice to see an open-captioned movie for once! ^_^ I must add: There's more to the music video than the written words... All the pretty colours shown in the "deaf world" part of the clip is a nice...

No one is wheelchair-bound at the moment but that is indeed a good question. It's a manual elevator so I think it's possible...

I'm doing an internship right now with evening classes so I'm limited when it comes to going to Student Services... They have my file though and I sent them an email asking about terps... Mackay Center? That's the place I was talking about... 3 weeks without getting any news from them. [Still...

I see what you are saying jillio, the problem is probably from how I was raised... The fact that I am still struggling with the loss itself also makes me emotional when it comes to dealing with things like that. I was supposed to get some counseling as well but no news from the organisation...

I've been thinking more and more about getting interpreters for classes and other functions but I'm beginning to learn ASL and even though I know enough signs to get by comprehension-wise... I'm still uncomfortable using interpreting services. I know there are terps who do oralism and that...
