How would a deaf or hoh individual teach if they were not fluent in ASL? I am a grad student and always shrugged off the idea of becoming a teacher or professor because I am not super comfortable with the idea teaching orally or with ASL. Part of me thinks I would have more interest in the...

ki4jgt - if you don't mind me asking, how can you be 1/2 across the world for $50. The last I checked, all flights crossing an ocean are in the hundreds. Do you own a plane? Or a boat?

I guess by my logic, the first person who puts the possibility out there is the one who initiated a courtship. The 2nd person has to consent for the possibility to go anywhere. But that leaves me thinking, if a woman flirts with a guy to show that she is interested, did the guy initiate it or...

I never realized dutch dating could come across as not being generous. Good point. Would you say that one person paying the bill and switching would be better than splitting the bill consistently? (with the assumption that both individuals make the same income)

I disagree slightly. Women can "expect" a date to be paid by the guy if that is the culture she grew up in. If the guy doesn't have the same culture (of the guy paying for every date), then some discussion about paying the bill will obviously have to occur unless one or both individuals want to...

Hmm, I think I prefer the guy to pay for the first date regardless of who asked. But to be fair, I've never asked a guy out and I probably wouldn't ask a guy out if I didn't feel confident that he enjoyed being around me. So those who say that a girl should pay if she asked him out, I can...

I confess I want to dress like a teenager sometimes (not in a slutty way) but I'm 25 and should be investing in a professional safe wardrobe...

Sorry for participating in this temporary derailing, but my first thought in response to username's comment about "actually deaf enough not to understand lipreading" is that perhaps he/she lipreads better when there is some sound through CI. Put another way, with a quiet environment, with...

I swam competitively in college. I had a few embarrassing false starts and late starts myself. The meets that I attended have attended with electric timing have a light at the end of the pool that is programmed to go off at the same time as the buzzer. So the only delay is how fast you respond...

I did not have a driving instructor, just my parents. When I took the test, I asked about the route from my friends so I knew what to expect. Even if I couldn't hear them, I knew their was a high probability that I was going to be turning left at this intersection and so forth. Doesn't really...

I'm less likely to eat if I am not myself. I enjoy lots of specific foods, but none of them are connected to a bad mood. My food choices are usually influenced by cravings and availability.

I’m not defending the girl here, but she might have left because she felt inadequate in communicating with DoVip, not necessarily another guy. Furthermore, she might not like feeling dependent on DoVip to teach her. While DoVip would be a great teacher, I personally did not like having a...

I was requested for a phone interview (not a job interview) and I explained my situation to them. They allowed me to do an IM interview instead. But agreed, I'd rather a more personal interview.

I've never found money more than a quarter that belonged to someone I did not know. I did lose some money though but I can't say for sure what exactly happened to it. But frequently, when I do a load of laundry that includes jeans from my dad, I find a few bucks in change. I used to steal a...

I've been burning matches for the last 20 minutes. Does anyone else like the smell of extinguished fire/matches? It smells like birthday cake to me! I'm not a pyromaniac though.

I only brush regularly at night. I use mouthwash in the morning, but don't always brush in the morning. I am easily swayed to brush in the morning if I spend the night over as a guest somewhere. I chew a lot of sugerfree gum which has minimized cavities for me.

I just checked out this site. It reminds me of other websites likes GMH (gives me hope) and FML (f--- my life). Deaf stories come up once in a while, but not very frequently.

Hello! I am currently applying for jobs through schedule A. I was wondering if your audiologist used a specific format to write your schedule A letter or did they write a general letter? Did they include explicit details about your hearing loss? Thanks!

I know I spent too much time on hulu when I dislike seeing the same commercials so much that I take a break from hulu...

Have you ever considered an earring? What is your favorite dance move? Do you like gummy worms in your brownies?
