    I’m going to Sorenson tomorrow!

    Sorenson was interesting they have a Deaf Vice President that was good in my opinion since they service the Deaf. They work very hard to keep their interpreters healthy and happy which is great to know as well. Well at least that is what they said in the open house LOL. I asked about VP for...

    We are NOT disabled.

    I'm sorry i couldn't help myself, blind people don't typically drive and so therefore wouldn't park unless there are new kinds of cars that drive blind people. LOL i am just picking at you. =)

    Vocab limits?

    I have been told that there are between 12,000 to 15,000 signs, classifiers, non manual makers, and mouth morphemes not included. I know over 1,000 signs myself and am in ASL 1 so I am ahead of the class in that respect. The professor told us that we would learn around 300 signs this semester...

    Good sites or books for learning asl?

    People have their faves. I personally like ABC, A Basic Course. That is what I primarily learned from. This was before I took formal classes. At my college the course is taught using Bravo and Signing Naturally. These are preferred because they have video’s with them that show proper sign...

    I'm quitting interpreting.

    Girl you should be smacked! LOL I thought this thread would be completely different from the title. I was thinking you were burned out or had a horrible experience or was injured in some way. But no you are furthering your career and moving to higher heights so bravo to you!!

    are they embarassed?

    I was just thinking on some posts I have read a while back where some one said they were happy to see that I take my Deaf friends with me to my hearing friends parties. I was wondering if your hearing friends NOT do the same. If you feel that your hearing friends are maybe a little embarrassed...

    communication errors with hearies to deafies

    Yeah I can see how that is annoying but in normal conversation you aren’t used to some one talking to you for some one else. The same thing though happens with two hearing people from different countries and a translator is used the person talking to the translator would say ask him this or...

    giving up on asl

    The same could be said of English or any other language for that matter. English speakers that are, “well spoken” look down on those who aren’t. Northern, Midwestern, western, and southwestern people look down on southerners for how we speak. You have said you have no desire to learn ASL and you...

    Ask deaf people here

    When I went to Deaf Expo and DPHH with my best friend and his sister I felt completely comfortable and enjoyed myself. Everyone was great and treated me as one of them. Some were surprised that I am hearing. When you meet a hearing person at a Deaf event do you ever think they don’t belong, they...

    We are NOT disabled.

    To be able to use the disabled parking there must be some reason, physical, neurological, or otherwise, that impairs you from walking to the building comfortably. This has to do with mobility disabilities. This is what Shel was referring to. Perhaps it would behoove to get off the disability...

    should i be worried?

    I have to have a fan going in my room when I sleep, one for the air flow, and two because of the noise. I have to have white noise to be able to sleep other wise my ears hurt. A lot of hearing people say the same thing. I have slept right through my alarm clock in the morning and it is loud and...

    interesting upcoming episode of Scrubs

    I have to agree with you on that point. My father in Native American and watching the old westerns from the 50’s and 60’s they always used white actors in horrible make up and awful wigs doing their ignorant Indian impressions. I always hated that growing up. Even more modern movies have done...

    Rant, Rant, RRRRAAAAANNNNNTTTTTT

    I don't care if some one talks about me, I am generally like whatever. But if some one talks about my friends that is when I get angery!!

    Rant, Rant, RRRRAAAAANNNNNTTTTTT

    *** CAUTION VERY BAD LANGUAGE USED *** At DPHH in City Walk there was a horrible woman, Queen Lioness this is the woman I was arguing with. We had just gotten up to the very crowded bar when this short hearing woman pushed her way through while my friends and I were waiting on our drinks. She...

    Voice off, better?

    I sign PSE so I could voice and sign at the same time, but it is just hard for me. But is it "better" to do it that way or is this just her opinion?

    Voice off, better?

    At Deaf Expo my best friend and I saw a woman we sort of know. We met her at starbucks in august or September and we keep running into her all over the place. She was walking by starbucks and noticed us signing and she stopped to talk, she is Deaf. Well at Deaf Expo we were talking and she said...
