I had a skeleton mould once and found it uncomfortable and that it shifted (and had feedback) ... when I switched to a solid full mould, that all went away and it was much more comfortable. If she has multiple programs, perhaps she could have one set as "quiet" and one as "normal". I have...

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry Bold ) www.aslpro.com is also very good for vocabulary, idioms etc.

He's already "adapted" to YOUR language and culture. He speech reads, communicates with you in English, does "hearing culture things" with you etc. He's already going significantly beyond "halfway" in terms of effort, skill, linguistic and cultural adaptation/flexibility, so YES it's your...

I'm going to be blunt. He doesn't have to work harder - YOU do. You're complaining about how HE doesn't have as rich an English vocabulary as you do, and that his English sentence structure isn't perfect? English is NOT his first language and only 30% of speech is even visible on the lips...

Personally, I prefer the all silicone (soft) moulds don't slip as much as the acrylic or combination acrylic & silicone moulds. The hard moulds tend to move/shift/rub when they get sweaty and cause sores (even if they fit 100% correctly). Of course YMMV.

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry Bold ) Any electronics store (or even Best Buy etc) should carry the little adapter you need for the cable.

Can you contact your former school and see if they have an online school (or homeschooling) program they recommend? There are a LOT of online, remote learning and homeschooling options available now. If you'r current counselor isn't helpful, contact the school board/district directly for...

Not to mention most people in a deep sleep tend not to have the best sense of smell (which is why people can die in fires, because they don't smell the smoke).

I was just thinking ... Perhaps you could ask at the hospital and see if you might be able to do some supervised volunteer work at the hospital where you're going to deliver (starting as soon as possible). It might be a fantastic chance for you both to learn some baby-care skills (so you'll be...

I'd suggest sooner, rather than later (as in it might not hurt to do it in the next few months). While we always hope that babies arrive at full/near term ... there's also the chance that you might have to go in early - knowing that you've already done a "Deaf friendliness/ communication check"...

I'd suggest touring the hospital where you'll be delivering at - and talk to the staff in advance about what your needs will be and how to effectively communicate. That way you'll have a better idea what to ask for in terms of accommodations etc.

When in doubt - just ask them what they'd prefer :)

You know they're joking...right?

How exactly is US doing YOUR homework for you "trying". If you really want to "try" - "try" doing your own homework. If you don't have a clue what the assignment is - email the teacher or go and ask them for help. Don't expect that we're going to jump to your rescue because you didn't...

English, French, German, Spanish etc all are exactly the same in terms of regionalisms, variants etc. It doesn't mean that ASL isn't precise - it means that ASL, like the aboved stated languages is "alive". It's a good thing.

Exactly what I was meaning :) Apparently it's a common way for some people to hold their hands ... it just happens to be a sign in ASL.

No worries - If you want to have fun with it yourself, great! Just realize that it won't make sense to anyone:) Just so you know, typically with complicated, or very specific words (that don't have an accepted ASL sign) they are spelled out in ASL. You wouldn't ever smoosh bunch of...

It's a "nonsense word" - so there's no point in bothering with a literal translation anyway. The meaning is irrelevant within the song (and movie) and elaborating on it's purposed etymological roots won't be beneficial for context or understanding for either hearing or deaf people.

I'm guessing this is why you want to know... You'd just fingerspell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (and perhaps first say "fancy long word from the movie Mary Poppins")

Breathe a bit newbie. He's not asking if hearing people accidently use LANGUAGE (word/sign with meaning) ... he's asking if hearing people accidently create a handshape that happens to be a sign while they are gesturing. A common example would be hearing people putting their hands together...
