Hello I am a deaf lip-reader. Deaf for 45 yrs and never bothered to learn ASL. Signs may be better for talking with the deaf but you can get by better in life reading lips.
I am single as of one week and find I don't like it one bit. a 12 yr. relationship isn't something you just throw away but that is just what happened. There one day gone the next. Out looking for single deaf women right now. its sad it was a long range relationship. Cost a fortune to go see her...
