I recently found my college math book. If you will post a problem that you need help with, I'll give it a shot. I think that Vampy took statistics and several calculus courses during his college days, so there's a few people here on AD who can help out. Good luck with it.

There are no chat rooms unless this is something that Alex started recently. The forums can get pretty chatty at times depending on the topic. Welcome to AD and enjoy.

I hope that MS keeps XP going until Windows 7 is ready to go. I've heard too many negative things about Vista to ever put it on my PC. I use the computer as much as some folks talk on the phone or text.

Hola and CO link Welcome to AD. Hope you enjoy it here. I lived in Longmont many years ago. Driving in snow was something new for this TX boy. Have you checked out ColoradoDeaf.com They may have events or interpreted church services in your area. Good luck learning.

I take it that you're going to SAC. What class are you in? I graduated with a Assoc-DSS back in '05. Want to go back for more classes. Hope you enjoy AD.

I agree with typingtornado. I've been a light sleeper since my Navy days so many years ago. I hear dogs barking, train whistles, fire engines, school buses, and almost everything else. Last night I thought I heard gunshots TWICE!! :shock: If I'm really wiped out, I'll put in ear plugs and...

I hope that's not 1 1/2 hour EACH way. How many miles do you drive each week? Even with cheaper gas now, it's still big $$ and you probably have to get up way too early before facing traffic and the boss. Pity you.

Read books? Thanks for the info. Have you ever read Jeffrey Deaver or Patricia Cornwell's books? I love reading them during my 12-hour weekend shifts. Lincoln Rhymes and Kay Scarpetta are 21st century versions of Sherlock Holmes. Deaver's The Bone Collector was made into a movie a few years...

Trek book recommendation You aren't the only one. I have all sorts of Trek stuff. Done my part to help several folks 'live long and prosper.' :D I also read Trek novels. Just finished a trilogy that describes the beginning and end of a well-known foe. Here's a link for the first book...

Here's a few that I've heard of: One of the students at my alumni had problems with classifiers when he met I King Jordan years ago. The student meant to sign 'nice to meet you', but signed it with two fingers, not one. Later IKJ asked the dept chair what kind of signs were being taught in...

TV questions Taylor, Since we're both NYPD Blue fans, I have a question for you. How realistic is it for someone to go from detective to SGT to LT in just a couple of years like Sipowitz during the last season? Which cop show do you think comes closest to getting it right? Hope you stick...

I saw a story about this on the noon news. The new sirens use flashing lights and vibrations. It could help police with Deaf drivers and folks who have their radios blasting. Tulsa police testing booty-shaking Rumbler sirens - Autoblog

Loved Playing for Pizza. It was the first Grisham that I've read. Finished a couple of Jeffrey Deaver and Patricia Cornwell books and a little Trek. Started an Arthur Conan Doyle biography last night. Could be just as interesting as Sherlock Holmes.

Thanks Tousi. Getting older is so MUCH fun. I wonder what's going to happen in my fifties. :scratch:

Long time Welcome back! I watched an old NYPD Blue video last night. I'm not online much but there's a Deaf cop from New Orleans here on AD. Maybe you two could trade 'war stories'. Wish I could remmy her ID. Don't know which is worse -- gray hairs or brain farts.

Dixie, I work long hours on the weekends and don't always check AD every day, but I'll try to help when I can. All my school books are in storage and that doesn't help either. You may want to get with Vampy. He's taken enough classes to be AD's Dean of Math. See #12 on link below. Good luck...

A few recollections Movies: American Graffitti, Jaws, Godfather, Star Wars, Rocky, Saturday Night Fever. Some theaters still had double features. TV: Charlie's Angels, SWAT, Welcome Back Kotter, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy Didn't like disco then and don't now. ABBA and...

Brian and Beth Cross run a Deaf ministry out of Anchor Baptist Church in Lexington. They might be able to help you. Their e-mail is great.escape@insightbb.com. I lived up there for three years until moving back to TX a few months ago. Good luck. The Deaf community gets together at Fayette...

When I was in school, we had to do a weekly presentation about some aspect of Deaf culture. Found AD after doing a search. Lurked for a time and then joined. I'm not on the board as much as I used to be, but still check it out from time to time. Kudos to Alex and mods for all their hard work.

Here's an interesting story that I found this AM. Three cheers for Grandpa! ABC News: Grandpa Builds Web Site for Autistic Boy Mods - feel free to move thread. I wasn't sure where to place it.
