The buddhist zhāi cài (in China) and shōjin ryōri (in Japan) chefs make some really good meals. You'd never know they were vegetarian. I cast my vote for the lot of them.

Alas, the perks of being deaf! ;)

Don't you find it amusing that surprisingly few people listened to you? I share the same experience, worry not! ;)

Proof makes my logic go poof.

Oh, do send! I can find so much use for them . . .

Fact of the matter is that even deaf-of-deafs who function in the hearing world feel these limitations. It's frustrating. I recently dropped in for a day in a Calculus II taught in ASL. I have to say I have never felt so included in my entire life. Living in the hearing world is rough...
