    Is it okay for someone with hearing to teach deaf students?

    D'oh! I just didn't get the sarcasm part of it :) Sometimes I can be a little slow. Anytime I need to know the dirty signs, I'm coming to you :lol: Also, I think it depends on the subject being taught, to some extent. Like, if the person is teaching about sign language or deaf culture...

    What course have you taken in your life?

    I'm currently collecting degrees :) I have a BA in art (useless, but fun), currently working on a minor in philosophy (useless and not fun), although with the number of credits I have it might turn into another BA. And I'll hopefully start working towards a BS in asl-english interpreting this...

    Girly stuff, like shoes, makeup, hair, etc.

    I love boys who love girls who love girly things :lol: Okay, so I'm really not that girly. I like the look of heals, but only ever where flats. I'm mostly a jeans and simple shirt kind of girl. Except when it comes to makeup. I am a makeup fiend. And hair product. It's not just...

    Hearing women dating deaf/HoH men

    I wonder if this fits your theory - I'm a female and I don't typically ask men out. I mean, I wait to be asked out. I don't know why, I'm neither a feminist nor anti-feminist, but I do. I feel too shy to ask someone out - not forward enough. If most females operate the same, then it might be...

    New Signers' Funny Mistakes

    lol - evidently you aren't the only one 'cause his FRIEND who I never met was laughing about it today. Apparently we have class together too :lol: Good thing I don't blush too easy, or I would have been bright red!

    New Signers' Funny Mistakes

    I don't get to sign with people very often, but today I met someone who signs (hooray! someone I can practice with and learn from). Unfortunately, I'm always confusing the sign for "rubber" and "recent"... so I was very confused about the "rubber bride" he was talking about. When I asked him...

    Free Black Taco on Halloween

    My friend ordered one the other day and I had a bite. I was under the impression that the shell is a little strange and seems distinctly unnatural to me, but it's taco bell so honestly that's to be expected. I don't remember it being spicy, but I just had a little corner bite so I didn't eat...

    Deafness; Re - Invisible Handicap vs Visible Handicap

    I would think she'd be happy you were prepared to write it down in order to ensure she didn't make a mistake! Honestly, what's wrong with people? I know I'd appreciate that the customer thought of a way to bridge the communication gap so we didn't have to spend half an hour figuring it out...

    Deafness; Re - Invisible Handicap vs Visible Handicap

    :tears: Regardless of whether the guy noticed you are deaf or not is no excuse. Even if you could hear perfectly, there's no reason for some one - ESPECIALLY AN ADULT!- to make fun of the way you talk, or anything else different about you for that matter. It breaks my heart to see kids teasing...

    Who gave you your sign name?

    Is that something you are supposed to ask for? I was always kind of under the impression that people give it to when they know you well enough/feel you need one or have earned one. Is that not right?

    Snubbing the Deaf community?

    Sorry to intrude on the conversation, but I think you bring up a really interesting point. If two people are having issues communicating, regardless of whether they are both deaf or both hearing, they're both going to have to make concessions. If one person isn't willing to repeat what they...

    Conventional medicine vs. alternative medicine

    I think it's important to approach illness and diseases from all angles. It's also equally important to not dismiss a course of treatment without first understanding it. A lot of people I know who favor holistic medicine, often disregard sound medical advice because they don't trust doctors...

    Anyone go (or used to go) to RIT/NTID?

    Well, they were a series of tunnels that ran under the dorm rooms into a field. They called them the catacombs because they're in a town called Rome... but THE ROME :giggle:

    Fingerspelling speeds?

    I'm not going to lie - I am equal parts curious as to what it says now and grateful that I can't understand it and don't have to know what it says :shock:

    Fingerspelling speeds?

    In general (and this is to anyone), would you prefer someone to fingerspell a bit faster with slightly sloppier handshapes or slower with precision?
