    ASL is seeping into my brain it seems.

    Even before I started learning asl, I use to "hand talk". My family is well known for waving our arms around when we talk so my family would get it but my friends thought I was insane. lol Now that I'm learning asl I just try to replace the waving with asl, it works about 50% of the time...

    HOH men...how to approach girls to talk to or ask out on a date?

    I'm engaged to a guy that was in my "friends zone" I think it depends on the girl. For myself I rather get to know the person as a friend first before dating them, that way I know what I'm getting into and if they are worth it or not. Some girls however would not date a friend because they do...

    Bill: No snacks for food stamp users

    The food bank in my city requires that if you are getting more than a weeks worth of food that you should your expenses and income. Sadly a lot of people will cheat the system and by showing that you are in need they can tailor programs to help you. If you make more than enough money but...

    I'm Debating a College Elective?

    I've actually become very good at informal pictionary in the last few weeks. My neighbor only speaks Arabic while her husband works so when we need to get something across we just draw it. I took realism and nature sketching in university and I found it was more useful than some of my non...

    Bill: No snacks for food stamp users

    Actually I like this idea better, I want in! With my grocery bill I'd get quite a bit back in tax returns. And it gives people an incentive, a prize at the end of the year if they done well.

    Drawing can come in very handy in life, like when playing pictionary with a neighbor when there is a language barrier.

    Deaf Parents of Deaf kids

    I'm not deaf yet but deafness is pretty strong in my family, I will probably be profound before I turn 40. I wouldn't implant if my kid was born deaf, I wouldn't even get the implant myself, when the kid is old enough he or she can ask for one and I wouldn't have a problem then. I just look...

    Bill: No snacks for food stamp users

    Bagged salads should be ok, I don't buy them myself due to freshness and price but I have no problem with them at all. Mac n'cheese I admit not the healthiest in a box but also not the worst, I do usually keep one pack in the back of the pantry somewhere. Ramen noodles a staple of...

    Question: Your computer monitor size

    I sit on the couch which is quite a bit away. I mostly game and I do have a smaller notebook for forums and suck. I go to the eye doctor every 2 years because I'm near sighted and my eyes haven't stopped changing yet

    ASL is seeping into my brain it seems.

    D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, and old Vampire the Masquerade. I use to play WOW but with the monthly cost I dropped it. The expansion packs plus monthly cost was hard for me to justify since I didn't play much. I found that the table top games force me to socialize more which it a bonus as I am shy away...

    ASL is seeping into my brain it seems.

    Apparently I started using a hybrid of english and asl syntax while speaking to people this week without even realizing it, and last night during a dnd game I caught myself signing a word because I had a brain fart and couldn't remember what the word was that I wanted but I knew the sign. The...

    Bill: No snacks for food stamp users

    We buy flour, rice , cereals, honey, sugar, everything non perishable in bulk, it's a good idea because it's cheaper and forces you to make things from scratch which is usually healthier. When I was a kid I remember thinking that fried bread dough was cookies and that frozen rhubarb and...

    Should You Give Money to Family Members?

    For family, if I give them money I don't expect it back. If I did expect it back I would be very disappointed a lot of the time, now I just get pleasant surprises when I do get it back.
