Have fun with the program!!! I'm so glad you decided to do it in person. Doing it online is OK, but an interpreter program is invaluable in person.

I think DUI's are despicable. Most people get away with it. Ugh. I'm a goody two shoes, but c'mon...

I will find out for myself then I guess!

I don't want to speak FOR Brenda or anything, for I am in no place to do that just because I happen to know her. I put her name into "Search", TheWriteAlex, and found several threads with news articles from that controversy. I think some of the news is distorted, but that is a issue from the...

To be fair most of the gay guys I've met blab too. They were hearing :hmm:

She does not use ASL as a main form of communication because her voice is pretty clear- although I wouldn't rely on my testimony of it, I am deaf after all:giggle:! Also, her children are hearing and her family are hearing as well. OSU is not a deaf school like Gallaudet so I'm sure she uses it...

I thought I would say that I have had Dr. Brueggemann as a professor myself.. simply amazing woman. She has inspired me in so many ways! I feel much more confident in pursuing my teaching degree now. Simply amazing professor!!

Second Life is basically an online Sims. Real people go there to do real-life things- people actually make money on it, but by no means do you have to do that. I go there to roleplay, mostly. CJB- I have a friend who is blind and plays on Second Life. She says it's difficult, but invaluable...

I recently saw Pocahontas 2- I was bored, ok?! Haha. I also watched "Becoming Jane", an excellent movie if you're a literature lover.

Thank you for the link- it is very intriguing to learn more about these issues. I still believe it is a valuable resource, however dependency is an issue needing to be dealt with.

Oh my gosh!! I am so glad I stumbled onto this. I was always jealous when people watch youtube-- all three of my favorite shows (Grey's, Private PRactice, and The Simpsons) are CC'ed on Hulu.. YESSS!!!

How ironic for a thread to be on the first page on my first day about Columbus!! I am in Columbus, sadly :P

Any fellow Second Life users here??

I'm deaf and was mainstreamed my whole life. I never even considered the idea of "searching" for a deaf boyfriend- I have had all hearing boyfriends. I have been wanting to date a deaf person because I think we can relate on issues, and communication would be so much easier. My last boyfriend...

To respond to the question- there have been several occasions, but one hit me the hardest. When I was 16 I worked at Teddy Crafters, and was so accepted among the staff I didn't feel deaf at all. When I found out that a position for Key Holder was open and they said they needed someone who had...

This reminds me of the "DEAF CHILDREN ZONE" sign I see around my grandma's. I find it offensive because it is saying that the parents are bad parents... if they allow their deaf children to run around in the streets... LOL :P

Such cute pets!!!! I will have to post mine soon!

I for one think Abigail Breslin is a good casting choice. I'm biased toward her, however! I will admit that it would be nice to see a deaf/blind/deafblind person as the role, but it can't always be that way. Kate Winslet, for example, plays several nationalities when she's really British. *shrug*

I first checked with the school of Audiology at my college then talked to my audiologist about it.. it is not a small decision! Be wise and good luck on your journey.

How wonderful to meet a teacher for the deaf! I have two quarters left of my undergraduate (English major here!) and then I'm off to grad school. Looks like I'll be going to OSU grad school but we'll see.
