Chase, an AllDeaf member and deaf author, writes a mystery novel featuring a deaf amateur detective, an amateur interpreter confined to a wheelchair, and a dyslectic deputy assigned as a law-enforcement liaison. Losing his hearing in the first gulf war, Les Huntsman's life spirals...

:ty: for the welcomes. Bottesini and Reba--so nice to see you again.

I'm a former teacher, late deafened and now an editor and writer. My sister, four years older, was born deaf and taught me ASL before I could talk. Sure came in handy when I was losing my hearing over a twenty-year span and then became totally deaf in 2001. I hope to get reacquainted here at...

Good sense of smell My sister (77) has been :deaf: since birth. I was HOH for two decades and have been :deaf: for 12 years (I'm 73). We both have super senses of smell. We both smell smoke and gas long before others. We both can tell when something in the oven is done without a timer. When...

Alex, :ty: for allowing my writers' site to borrow a few ASL smileys for me. My administrator says you're a gentleman and a scholar. :yesway::yesway: (Chase)

Old friend, me. Think you beautiful, Bottesini. Nice see face you.:ty: Chase

I'm totally deaf and recently started my own at-home editing business. A lifetime of reading everything I could get my hands on, extensive studies in English, and long experience grading papers prepared me to edit novels for writers submitting to agents and those who self-publish. I edited...

All our hopes and prayers with you To all my old friends in Australia, Miss Delectable, Jake, Koala, Matilda . . . and several whose names are on the tip of my tongue but my old memory fails . . . Kay and I are so very sorry for you and your familiies and friends and neighbors. We hope...

Congratulations! That's it.

That's the meaning, but the idiom is one word with at least one exclamation mark.

Good reading, Cathe. It's a careless typo. It should read, "form the round lip." In other words, the S-hand is held out like a cup with the thumb and forefinger topmost. Sorry for the confusion.

Wasn't your fault at all. The glitches in this game and The Trio Game are to blame. This deaf idiom says it for me: It is the S-hand held like a cup where the thumb and forefinger form the round lip. The palm of the other 5-hand brushes the excess outward and away. When done gently...

Since we have no need for any more confusion in this thread, I hope the glitch or glitches throwing posts out of order are done messing with us. Is the idiom "Once in a blue moon," Botts? It's an oldie but goodie.

All very well said, reflecting careful thought and good training, the farthest thing from hopelessly flawed, feel- good wishful half-thoughts.

No, I don't, and my objection is the whole point. Off-base, they may be under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (rules and regulations) but they are not supervised. It's the greatest reason so many kids in the military get into more trouble than their older comrades-in-arms. As a result...

Hi, Royce. I'm on the opposite coast. I've only been deaf 8 years, though it seems longer. I was hard-of-hearing for over 20 years, but was lucky enough to have a big sister who signed ASL. For me, learning to speechread was the hardest, and it's still the most difficult part of my...

Are you sure? I thought Gnome was a city in Alaska (just kidding). First water-proof cameras, then water-proof cell phones. I'm sure water-proof computers will be next, ha ha ha. Can't wait to go waltzin' Matilda's clues.

Another real-life folk hero which sparked a TV series was Daniel Boone.

For crying out loud?

(Emphasis added) Correct. I note you even capitalized it, like we're a thriving culture, similar to the Deaf, ha ha ha.
