Yes, she had some problems and still has, but a year of speech therapy and kindergarden helped a lot! New problem: she most recently stopped signing. So far nothing got her to stop talking, now my husband refuses to lip read. Well, I'm curious how well that will go. It seems to be a common...

I really like the two new episodes so far! True, there is A LOT going on, but I think that's just how life is sometimes. I really like that Bay isn't just forgiving Emmett for what happened. You can see how she works through it. That just takes some time. I do hope they'll finally get back...

I talk everyday. With friends and family I sign. I do like both, but prefer signing by far.

Hi, well I think this is a very difficult topic. My own experience: I could never convince my Mom to learn sign. I just gave up. Now my daughter signs a lot, and suddenly she wants to communicate with her and learns to sign. I really can't tell you how I feel about that. I'm happy in a way, in...

I have a cold, my head is exploding and I feel kind of drowsy. It is 9am, friends of ours are coming over for breakfast and I just wish it were 5 or 6am.

No matter how many Implants or whatever that person has, he/she is still deaf. I know a bunch of deaf people with Implants telling me that they aren't deaf. It is downright ridiculous. Seriously if someone is asking you if you have bad eyesight you tell them no, I just need glasses??! So, still...

I just thougth about this a little bit. She really is a Deaf person. You would never guess she is hearing. Maybe if your character learns sign language you could pick the cultural thing up, too. Honestly, she is hearing, but doesn't belong there. You understand what people are saying, but can't...

Nice to read something like this for once:wave:

A friend of mine is hearing and mute. I knew her for about three years until I learned she was hearing. Always asumed she was deaf. Fluent signer and everything. Her parents learned sign language together with her when she was a child. Now it is more like them talking and her signing. I've also...

I love where I am right now. Besides from Munich I'd definitely live in New Zealand. Some old villages in Italy are beautiful, too.

:giggle::ty: I really focused on something dry and it worked. Actually I've never really counted how long I could make it without going. I really don't want to know...

Pulling up a thread from 2003/2006 is an interesting first post, especially when it is about such an interesting topic. You know, it actually bothers me quite a lot! I really have to pee at the moment but I'm stuck in the car on the way to our pediatrician.. I just have to endure like two more...

I'm curious if it'll work outside the U.S.

It sounds great, especially that your family is really supportive.

Today is just a very slow day, not uncommon for sundays but today I'm just fine and I let myself be.

Kind of...It really depends on who is using these terms. Are they used by everyone who knows about them or really just by the Deaf community? I don't know. At least you are not ignorant:P Oh and there is actually a term mostly used by hearing parents to describe their deaf and hh kids around...

Please spend some time reading those threads that exist on this topic already.

But that's exactly what you normally do, right? Or you ask a person/friend familiar with that culture about the use of a certain word. I really do wonder why some people tend to jump to conclusions when they really don't have the slightest idea. I can't see why a hearing person should be...

Oh that's great!! You should come to the "Oktoberfest". That is really awesome! Besides from that, maybe I'll notice your travel plans in time the next time.

Well, you are probably right. But then again...Is being nice and friendly something positive or something one should expect? Honestly, what counts as a awesome and positive hearing people story? Well here is one: Once I and some friends wanted to buy tickets for a trip. As soon as the...
