I thought that video was quite interesting and accurate, for the most part. The only downside to it was that the captions could have been synced a little better. I don't know about the voice part though. I am also thinking they should add a suggestion that the police officers at least learn...

Wow, that was quite interesting to read... I hadn't heard of people biting their tongues off by accident. Welcome to AD!

Hi, welcome... Just wanted to make sure you're aware that this forum is for D/deaf/HOH people, not furniture or home improvement, although there might be a thread or two on these subjects.

I agree with what a lot of people have been saying here. I think you need to come to terms with your hearing loss and just accept it. If you keep trying to fight it or try to be "normal" then you will only end up being miserable. I learned that the hard way. I was born deaf, but I was raised in...

I am profoundly deaf and I do sign... so we don't have much in common in that sense, however I definitely can relate to you about the "never mind" part. Welcome. :)

If you wanted to interpret for deaf/Deaf people then I'd be more than happy to help you out with a few answers to your questions... but interpreting for hearing people using ASL? That's a new one to me. Unless it was just a typo, no thanks lol.

Couple of answers have been suggested here - intimidation and douchebaggery. Here's another idea though - maybe some people feel shitty about themselves and they feel they need to bring someone else down in order to to feel better about themselves. They might consider some of us the "perfect"...

Just came upon this picture on Facebook - it's humorous but still somewhat related to the topic:

Oh my god lol. I didn't think that sort of thing still existed. These subscribers really need to get with the times!!

I don't live in Massachusetts, so I wouldn't be able to vote there. However, if I was able to, or if my state does something like this as well, then my views would be as follows: 1. Definitely for legalizing marijuana. And no, I don't smoke it. It would be better to legalize it entirely rather...

This is really interesting!! I like all the pretty colors lol. The only downside is that I don't have an iPhone :( I would also suggest that you figure out a way to make the phone light up regardless of the position it is sitting in. A lot of us carry our phones in our pockets, and it'd be nice...

I agree, CrazyPaul... not worth it for dogs to wear HAs IMO. They're already too expensive for humans, why spend that much on a dog that you will most likely end up outliving? I hope that doesn't sound too insensitive to people but come on... Anyways we have three dogs in my family. My mom's...

Hiya, welcome :) Feel free to call me Devon or Dee if you wish. I'm also sorry to hear about what happened to your girl. :( She sounded like a real gem. And good luck on your degree, as well as finding someone.

I've been deaf since birth but I'd still take the Pill.

Yeah people usually have dominant hands in signing. But like Reba said, there's no "rule." It depends on the individual. I know some people who are right-handed for writing and prefer to remain that way for signing as well. I know a few people who are right-handed for writing but actually...

mmm coffee champ!!

Hello, welcome :) It is indeed a really nice surprise to be greeted or have people start signing to us instead of just apologizing to us when they realize we're deaf. I'm glad you want to continue doing that and encourage others to do the same as well.

Wish I could go but I didn't know about this until recently and I simply don't have the funds for it. I will try to plan for next year though. :)

Hi, welcome. Why not check out couple of colleges as well? My college has an interpreting program. Bloomsburg University if you want more info on it - also there is another college in PA - Mt Aloysius.

Thanks :) Thanks lol - you're pretty too!
