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

    The idea of tunnels is very, very cool! My first college had a system of catacombs built during the cold war, but they were closed off for decades before we even knew about them. I'm currently planning on living off of soup and thermal underwear. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

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

    While I understand the sentiment, I'm not sure I entirely agree. How far is that supposed to extend? Male teachers for male students? White teachers for white students? American teachers for american students? Hearing teachers for hearing students... even if those students are learning...

    Your First Kiss

    My first kiss was my neighbour friend. He lived down the street and let me play ninja turtles with his friends, but they always made me be the girl reporter even though I wanted to be Leonardo :) His friends dared us to kiss and I didn't see why it was such a big deal. We were probably 5 or...

    Who is single here?

    Well, now. I'd happily spend five hours showering too if I could look that hot :giggle: Where did you pick up such a hottie?

    Fingerspelling speeds?

    Holy Crap! Lol :) You, friend, must be an excellent fingerspeller/understander. I was hoping that one day, maybe, I'd be able to even figure out the deaf speed words after two run-throughs! For example, I stare at your avatar/icon thing for a few times everytime I run across one of your...

    Snubbing the Deaf community?

    I think you might be right. It's hard to accept people who don't accept you in the first place. And what well-established group wants to change how they work just to suit one member? I may be completely off-base here, but in class we had a late-deafened woman come talk to us. She went on...

    What will u do if 2012 is end of the world?

    If 2012 is the end of the world, then I will not worry about repaying my student loans. Thank you, American Government, for the free education. It's been a good time.

    Who gave you your sign name?

    I think, and I'm just going to put this out there, that naming your child "Vagina" might be grounds for a Social Services intervention. J/K. Though seriously, I would probably love my mom a little less if, from all the words in the dictionary, she chose Vagina. I agree with you about...

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

    I don't think students will be bothered that you aren't deaf or hoh. I do agree that its essential to work on your sign skills and make sure you are the very best teacher you can be. Also, depending on where you end up working, be prepared to have students who use other forms of communication...

    High School Cheerleader Dies At Practice

    If she passed her health physical prior to cheerleading, like most schools require, there probably wasn't any way to prevent such a tragedy. Or to even know if cheerleading affected what may have happened anyway. I feel terrible for her family. Hopefully they can find peace about the whole...

    Wal-Mart fires employee for chasing after thief

    While a lot of the policies are in place to cover the company, a lot of the policies are also for the safety of the employees, which in turn protects the company. Fast food places and stores won't allow one person to open the store at early hours or close very late because it isn't safe to be...

    Hug!!!

    Are trying to wrangle kisses out of us? :kiss: Or maybe a high-five would be more appropriate! :h5:

    Pacifier VS Thumbsucking

    Alot is going to depend on the child. My mother was adamant that we use a pacifier because she wanted to be able to take it away - it's very hard to break many children of thumbsucking and she didn't want us to be sucking our thumbs after a certain age. So she bought a multitude of pacifiers...

    Children need be spank???

    I voted "not sure", but what I really mean is "sometimes." I think spanking can be very, very effective for some children, but it isn't necessary for all children. It really depends on the child's personality. I was spanked a couple times when I was very little - we were sent to our room for...

    "Baby On Board" sign...

    I think those signs are a weird concept in general. Are they supposed to make other drivers more cautious so as not to hurt your baby or are they just supposed to advertise that you procreated? I think drivers should probably be just as cautious regardless of the presence of babies or not...

    Who is single here?

    That's what I figured from the "Linda" part of your screen name :)

    Tough situation:

    I doubt the spouse would take the time to find the contact information for the office unless it was a dire emergency. I would simply explain to the interviewer that it must be an emergency and excuse myself.

    song translation

    I second this! You'll run into a lot of English idioms in music (and in general) that don't always make sense when you translate them directly. That's why Reba mentioned focusing on conceptual meanings.
