Hi Mohamed's wife! You must be new here. I apologize for being off-topic, but curiosity compelled to ask you this: Why do you identify yourself as Mohamed's wife, not by your given name?

To the headless provocateur in an imitated Armani suit, We're not in kindergarten anymore. If you have a pressing need to pick on me, at least do it here without deflecting the topic of "Fat Americans using more petrol." How would you like your underwear pulled out of your pants? Feel...

How blatantly heterosexualistic of you to assume such a ridiculous falsehood. I have no relationship to the Sheik of the Hezbollah party. But I do know for a fact that you give generous donations (in U.S. dollars no less) to the Lord's Resistance Army, Endymion.

Welcome to the AllDeaf board! How do you like living in Olympia? My friend Beth lives there. I once visited her there for a couple of weeks, so I have a good idea of how scenestery and incestuous the town can be. The creativity impressed me, though!

Straight out of a Ray Bradbury story. Imagine if our planet was almost annihilated by a nuclear war and there were only a handful of isolated survivors who had no reliable way of contacting each other...

EAT You didn't say anything about moving letters. :)

For the little goblins? Chewables saturated with empty calories, high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils. I love encouraging unhealthy eating habits and upping sugar-related aggression! I'd hand out gala apples, but they cost much more than store-brought candies do. I'd hand...

Dude, if the mushrooms can glow in the dark, I don't think I'd want to eat them. And if any jungle animal stumbles upon those same mushrooms, they'd probably back off too. Instinct survival?

I take comfort in knowing that when we're all gone, annihilated by a global-scale nuclear war, the cockroaches may be still around.

What about public transportation? Do you not think that people who practice more active lifestyles would be more inclined to take public transportation because they input the value of running to the subways from home? Or even bicycling to the subway and parking their wheels in the station before...

As someone who grew up in a Chinese-American household, eating mostly "local" Northern Chinese and Taiwanese food... I shouldn't have made the fateful choice of clicking on the link for this thread.

I'm curious about the details. Exactly what went wrong with the boob piercing? Did the girl develop a severe infection that spreaded to the entirety of the pierced area? And Neon Novelty is definitely going down the drain. I don't appreciate how the shop owner's brother expressed a lack of...

gnarlydorkette, I will be happy to e-mail you a brief video clip of my ASL version of "WALK" although it's only fair to warn you that it's not standard sign, even by most Californian standards. And I'm a native Angeleno, but my signing is distinctly from the Bay Area. You made an interesting...

I had the most unusually linguistic dreams the other day. An interpreter was voicing for me when I was signing to my hearing classmates and professor. Okay? BUT I COULD HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE INTERPRETER WAS SAYING. And I was a happy cookie because I was in total agreement with the accuracy of...

Perfect answer. You have to take into consideration that many deaf people do not acquire ASL as their native language and have to learn it in a residential setting or even through socialization with fluent signers. Accents abound and aplenty. Don't forget the generational gap in signers. I still...

Investing more in sex education programs does not necessarily mean that they will be effective in educating young teenagers about sex. There's also the burden on the schools of assuming responsibility for educating their students about sex. Where is the parental involvement? And to what extent...

You can always count on Boult to fill in the gaps. :) There are SOME schools, most likely private and New-England style, that operate by this old system: kindergarten to grade 6 (elementary school), grades 7-9 (junior high school) and grades 10-12 (high school).

Good luck! Have you started filling out your application yet?

Whaddaya mean? In general, breaking into "elite" cliques at any school is not easy for most people. And nobody should get rejected in the Deaf world, just like how it happens too often to everyone in the REAL (read: hearing) world. But human creatures have a tendency to categorize each other...

Here are a few questions to chew on: Why do you want to go to Gallaudet? Will you be comfortable participating in the Gallaudet community? Does Gallaudet offer what you are seeking? Academically and socially? And again, allow me to reiterate, well, expand what ayala920 said about ASL...
