Oh, just saw last night's episode. Wow! I have NO idea what's going on at Woodbury.

Aah, I can't wait!

Very excited for tonight's episode! :)

I'm getting pretty tired of every hearing teenaged girl aged 14-25 asking me if I watch it. But to be fair, I do know a few people who have begun taking ASL classes and really learning the language because of the show.

I'm deaf, too, I'm just learning ASL later than most. :) I figured people would probably be able to figure it out, but I wanted to make sure.

I was wondering about the two handed signs, thank you for addressing that. :)

I broke my right hand today and it'll be out of commission for awhile. Is there a protocol for this or do I just approximate the signs as best I can?

No worries! Hayden is a unisex name. :)

Also, GrendelQ hit the nail on the head. That was what I was asking. Not if it was prudent to force speech therapy on someone else, whether it was worth it in my circumstances.

Nope, I am fairly confident I am a man.

I don't think speech therapy in and of itself is "child abuse." I think excessive therapy with the goal of "erasing" the child's hearing loss is cruel, but wanting your kid's speech to improve to open more doors and make it easier for him to communicate with hearing people isn't abusive.

I am currently making southwestern style chicken... Poorly. :P

Yes, I was (mostly) joking. :P On of you thread-hijackers can make it up to me by helping me practice ASL though! :angel: I am glad that it took a turn, though. It has been interesting to read. My parents definitely operated under the assumption that my speech could be to the level of a hearing...

Well, this really got away from me. :P

I know! I don't know that I would hold out hope for a cure. Why are they still fighting so hard to live?

I am finally all caught up! This show is so good. I'm officially obsessed.

How cool! I LOVE horses.

Ahhh I haven't made it that far! I'm watching season 2.

Oops, my mistake.

Anybody else watch this? I just started watching it on netflix, and it's so good!
