You all have been so warm and supportive. There is still no diagnosis for my son. They have been putting him through so many tests to try and figure out what is going on with him. It's so heartbreaking to see him this way. They have taken so much blood from him that he needed a transfusion the...

Being an ASL teacher I feel I have a good perspective in this conversation. I have ASL I, II and III students. I have NEVER told my students to attend Deaf events because I think it's a place for people to socialize who know each other and relate to each other. It would be like crashing a...

If anyone chucked chicken at me while I was working, I'd wait until I got off work and ...ahem...straighten them out. Ughh! I can't believe she did that...:pissed:

Why doesn't the link work? It says "Page Not Found" What's up with that?

I checked it out and I really liked it! The story Nick did was on the Omaha shooting and it was very good. I will subscribe to view more daily news in ASL. Also I think it's good for my ASL students to see so they can gain more experience with ASL. Thanks for sharing the link!

I teach at an all girl high school and they ALL have myspace pages. They tried to get me to setup a page for myself but NO WAY!!! I am not interested. I have seen some of my friends' pages but I just don't trust it. I have heard too many people say that they were bothered by strange people and...

My internet browser does a real good job preventing pop ups. As far as email goes, I use Gmail and it does an excellent job of keeping the spam emails out of my Inbox. For the forum, I think it's hard for the admin and mods to weed everything out that shouldn't be here. I'm sure they try their...

Yes I know animals kill each other in the wild but it's almost always for food. I think trapping animals for their fur is terrible. I just don't support it. If people want animals killed so they can enjoy a nice coat then fine but you won't ever see me with one. I couldn't bear the thought of an...

I feel very strongly against the killing of animals for purposes other than food. I do not support it. I don't wear fake fur anyway but if I did I would prefer not to wear it anymore if it was true that it is not eco-friendly. Chemicals are bad for us and I don't need them around me. In the last...

I'd like to say that because I'm such a great person I would DEFINITELY give it back but I have to be truthful and say that it depends on the store and also on the cashier if I like them or not. If they are not friendly to me and I don't like the store then I wouldn't care about getting too much...

I think Marlee Matlin counts as a famous Deaf person. She is an Oscar winner and has been nominated for many Emmy awards. Check this out: Academy Awards, USA Year Result Award Category/Recipient(s) 1987 Won Oscar Best Actress in a Leading Role for: Children of a Lesser God (1986)...

That'e terrible. I hope you are alright. That sounds so painful. What did you put on it to soothe the burn?

jazzy- his prematurity is not relevant to his breathing problems. he has some kind of problem that the doctors haven't diagnosed yet which is causing him the issues he has. if he didn't have whatever it is he would've been home with me by now. he's a big preemie at almost 5lbs. he continues to...

that was hilarious!

No I don't know when he will be able to come home. He has been in the hospital for 4 and 1/2 weeks and he doesn't even have a diagnosis yet. They are really unsure what is causing his breathing problems. Hopefully now that he has been transferred to a new hospital they can find the problem and...

Well Luke was transferred to Johns Hopkins yesterday afternoon. I visited him today and met the doctor and nurse. I was upset that they didn't ask me for identification when I went there. They just let me go back. I asked if that was protocol and they said that the normal procedure is to see...

We have a website and we got some great feedback from people who visit the site reviews and critiques section here on alldeaf so we re-designed the site and want to see how everyone feels and thinks about the new site. We would love to have more opinions because we really want people to feel...
