I noticed! I dipped a foot in the CS thread that you (thankfully) closed! :D

It's all about perspective. If you feel affiliated with the culture, then you are Deaf. If not, then you are deaf. Sometimes that backfires - it does go both ways. To be truly part of any culture, one has to be accepted as well. And how do you like learning ASL so far? If you know Spanish...

bwahahahaha!!! People who know me always ask if I'm OK if I don't eat chocolate for more than half a day :-P I've been known to nibble on a piece in an 8am class... :D everyone, thank you for the warm welcome! I'm looking forward to my time here on the boards. :D I do have to warn you...

Imol, I took Foundations of Education for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing last semester (yes that's a course) and we studied modalities of communcations other than ASL and oralism. One of the modalities we studied was CS, and my group did research and presented to the class on CS...

The 2 jobs I had the longest, I was the only Deaf person there. The first (for 2 years) was as a housekeeping staff at an inn. I can speak and lipread very well, and I think I've been spoiled living where I do - I live in a town with a huge Deaf community, so pretty much most people know how to...

Nick, that's priceless! Where did you get the shirt!!!!:laugh2:

I don't take offense at any of the questions. :) I understand there's so many misconceptions - I just think it's funny. Here's a classic: I get asked if I'm "death".... it's amazing how close "death" sounds to "deaf". My mom told me when she was young she thought the state school for the deaf...

www.immortalchild.com It's my blog on the progress of the novel I'm working on. :)

Nice!!! :D Love your avatar, 1/2way man! If anyone tries to tell you that "all" of this or that is true, then it is automatically a lie because there is always an exception to the rule. I'm Deaf myself, and in the Deaf culture, there is a significance to the use of the captialization of the...

same here! Just PM me, I'll get them back to you quickly. When do you need them?

After we got married last summer, we were sleeping for work. I'm married to a hearing man, and I tried to warn him before about my vibrating alarm clock, he was fine with it. But he never felt it before. SO... First night, alarm goes off. I wake up, and I see my husband literally FLY out...

I thought about it, but I decided to research it first (did it for a class assignment, too), and I found out there's a lot of risks to the operation. Risks I'm not willing to take, or put my future child through if he/she is deaf too. If anyone wants to see the powerpoint I made of it, let me...

Sad, but true. :) HI! My name is Ashley A.K.A. DragonYoga, and I'm currently attending college and majoring in Deaf Education. :) I'm excited! And yes I'm Deaf, and I'm happily married to a hearing man. We have a dog who thinks he's a cat (so funny)... My biggest ambition: To finish a...
