hahahah, that is so precious! I don't have any kids, but it's so funny to read the cute things children say!

English, Spanish, and I'm learning ASL. :)

Yay, group hugs! :ty:

I was having such a horrible, horrible night, until I read this comment. YOU MADE ME SMILE! :D ahahah!:laugh2:

hooters fried pickles=amazing. Have any of you tried the KFC Double Down (is that what it's called?!), it's like a chicken sandwich, but instead of having a bun, you have TWO chicken patties?! Google it!

Ohhh, is that the Guillermo Del Toro movie? His work is crazy awesome!

Woohoo! That's really awesome, glad you're loving it! Pretty cool that you're benefitting so much from it too!

Okay, drphil: Can you like, make a blog about your implant, with all your information (where you got it, when you got it, what doctor did it, what time you got it, etc.) in it?! Because it's SO boring to read "CHS" "Dr. Chen" "ORAL DEAF SINCE DECEMBER 06" or 07, whatever it was every post you...

Likely that's because it was a big group of boys for the church story, or a big group of others from other schools. Marlee didn't have to say who her stepfather was because maybe by now she's forgiven him or whatever (was it even her stepfather for one of them, I forget). Not everyone wants...

I don't remember if it's 2% or not, but if that's what you see on the site, then I suppose that's what they do. However, if you are a leader, if you have a solid GPA, show your passion (maybe through extracurriculars if you have them or a short statement if they allow that) for interpreting...

I'm writing a similar paper. I can think of a spin-off of what mine will be about--what about Deaf services during disasters and major events? I know sometimes during political speeches, the interpreter is cut off on TV and you can only see half of them, etc.

Hey, welcome to AD. It's a personal choice if you want to stop using your voice. I grew up HOH and am deaf now, but I use my voice all the time (I also sign, but not fluently). I talk to people who will look at me when they speak, uncover their mouths, etc. Basically people who know what I need...

Undergraduate Admissions This is the undergraduate one, I'm assuming that's the one you need. If you need the graduate one, then it should be in the same place. Go to the left of the page, down the columns, click "Request Info." It'd be cool if we did run into each other! :) I'm...

My club and I going to do that around my school to give to faculty and staff who we might interact with, or those who might see D/HOH people every so often. It's up to them if they want to do that elsewhere too. I've had a few bad experiences with the staff at my college, so I'd be glad to hand...

She probably meant apathetic. I've heard it used that way too. You knew what she meant anyway. All she meant was that she asked if you were a deafie or hearie, and you didn't directly answer--you said "certainly not a hearie," but we all know you do not identify as deaf. She just wanted a...

I would agree if it weren't so tiring and time consuming. I wish more people understood deafness and its complexity. But when I'm at the checkout counter at the grocery store, and the cashier says something repeatedly, and I tell her I'm deaf...I'd rather not make it into a lesson, I just want...

I don't know if maybe back then bilateral CIs were considered more dangerous or something. I don't know his parents' reasons for not going bilateral soon after, but I know he loves his CI. It's a bit irritating really, because he acts like an ignorant hearie sometimes when he has to repeat...

Oh, by the way! Request a brochure from them on their website. It gives you a bunch of information about Gally and a free application to transfer. If you apply before a certain deadline, you can apply totally free, no processing fee or anything. I'm looking to transfer too, so that's something I...

ExR and Alicia: It's because some of us.... --Loved to read (like me), and we acquired our English skills from lots and lots of reading! --went to mainstream schools and for some reason or another, could not pick up English so easily because of inaccessibility, teachers not helping you, lack of...

Koko is HOH & wears HAs, freckles.
