She lives about 20 minutes from me. Poor kid - in one week, her husband died of cancer on Christmas day, most of her German Shepherds were poisoned and killed (she bred them and that's how she made her money), and then the day of her husband's funeral, these two horrible excuses for human beings...

I'm still confused ... why would you sign "Suppose/if" and then point to something as a way of asking "what is it"? If I want a kid to tell me what the thing on the table is called, I would sign "suppose/if" and point to the lamp and expect them to answer with "lamp!"? Why not just sign "what"...

This has been one of my biggest frustrations with interacting with the hearing world. I seriously HATE making relay calls because I do get hung up on more than I don't, and even if I ask the operator to NOT announce Relay, I still get hung up on because I am "too slow responding". And the...

I don't really like this selective stuff. To me it isn't really about deafness... I don't think a pregnancy should be terminated just because the child is disabled. People don't even euthanize pets just because of a disability. It's a slippery slope - how long until it's considered OK to...

Yes! I forgot to add that I also love 40's and 50's too!

I loved the grunge style of the '90's. All I wore was flannel shirts, black or white t-shirts, jeans, doc marten boots, sometimes a motorcycle jacket. I miss grunge! I want it to come back. I also wouldn't mind the bohemian look of the late 60's and early 70's to return, although I wasn't...

Whaaaaa someone give me attention and beg me to staaaaaaaaaaaaaay! :P ;)

• ASL • American Sign Language That's a good place to start. It even has lessons and doesn't just teach you the signs but attempts to teach ASL grammar and etiquette as well.

I have a random vent. I am sick of my mother thinking that pulling my hair is an acceptable way to get my attention if I am facing away from her whenever I visit her. ARRGGHH.

:giggle: To OP and others, I am glad to answer any questions anyone has, in a patient, kind and diplomatic matter. As are many others on AD. So to the curious, don't let grumpy people scare ya off. :D

It's obvious you feel the need to crusade and make a lot of noise. That's fine, more power to ya! However, I suggest joining a fight club, or maybe finding some protests somewhere you can join. It's a LOT more effective than overreacting on a message board on the internet. You'll probably feel...

I am really surprised at some of the stuff on that list. I've eaten a lot of that as just my regular everyday food, lol. I guess I thought during the depression everyone ate horrible food like nothing but gruel and old potatoes or something. With the kind of food listed on that page I may have...

Wow, grumpy much? Obviously a good number of AD'rs were not offended or bothered by the question asked, as evidenced by the number of responses. There is nothing wrong with what the OP asked. I personally saw it as someone who might be experiencing frustrations in groups and wanting to know if...

Me too. I don't know what I did without my smartphone and kindle back in the day...

Same. I hate it. Sometimes it makes my blood boil. When I have enough energy left to be angry, anyway.

I agree. I was just answering her question as it relates to herself, which is how I understood it to be asked.

No. People need to use whatever works best for them. Besides, PSE is ASL signs with English word order - nothing wrong with that. People who say there is something wrong with that are dangerously approaching legalistic and elitist territory. I wish I could grasp ASL structure, but my brain has...

Also, I noticed a lot of the carsick dogs that have been mentioned in this thread were german shepherds, or german shepherd mixes... Hmmmm lol

I had a german shepherd once that got carsick like that. My mom said it sounded like a cement mixer in the back seat when she got going. lol She would throw up about every 10 minutes in the car. Medicine didn't work for her either. The only thing that worked was no food or water, only ice...

Interesting... but not THAT spectacular. For all the hype it's getting I was expecting it to be a lot more profound. If I didn't know he was dead, I would think it was an attempt to get that rapper's attention. To be honest I kinda think people are doing that thing they do where when someone...
