    "Sound and Fury" on IFC this month.

    It's already out. I own it. It's not as long as the first one, but it's a great movie in its own right. I think you can find a place to order it if you google Aronson films. The producer's name is Josh Aronson. We found the email address for Mr. Aronson, and sent him a check for the video...

    AHHH! im nervous!!!!!!!!

    It's probably just your body recovering from all the anestetic and pain killers. If one of the pain killers contains any kind of mood altering chemicals, it could also be that. You might want to ask your doctors what each drug does (probably some kind of antibiotic and some kind of strong pain...

    AHHH! im nervous!!!!!!!!

    My wife has had surgery on her kneecap about 15 years ago. It took a long long time to completely recover (several months). Even today when the weather changes, her knee starts to throb sometimes. She says it was a little scary, but overall it wasn't too bad. Her kneecap used to get...

    How long? ASL question

    My wife started signing about a year ago. She's been very aggressive about how she learns (she studies every day, and takes classes each week). While she's by no means fluent, she can hold conversations with deaf folks fairly well. Her biggest weakness right now is probably vocabulary. So...

    Anyone know of deaf/hoh bereavement support group??

    So sorry to hear about your loss. You might want to check and see if a large local church has such a group. Once a hearing church gets around 750 - 1000 people, they often hire an interpretter and begin to develop a deaf ministry, which might include this type of grieving support group...

    Star Trek Gadgets,,What hasnt been invented yet from star trek.

    I got one for ya... apparently, some unmentioned invention must have been created in the Star Trek universe so that nobody ever has to go to the bathroom. Ever notice that? Maybe they transport waste right out of their body or something... :fart:

    Have you ran into Jevonah Witness people?

    ...ooohhhhhh yes.... Oh yes, we've run into the JW alright. As I've mentioned elsewhere, my wife and I are learning ASL (my wife is far better than me, and she interprets the sermons and songs at our church on Sunday mornings). Anyway, we found out recently that the local state association...

    can someone please answer a few questions for me? Please

    ...being deaf... I agree that it's next to impossible for someone who is hearing (such as myself) to really experience what deafness is like. Hearing is autonomic, so we can't really turn it off. Even if you plug your ears completely, as a hearing person, you still hear quite a bit...

    Observation by a hearing person...

    My wife and I are learning ASL. Sometimes she comes to visit me for lunch, and we go eat a food court near my office. From time to time we'll practice sign at lunch, and we've noticed something really creepy. People will steal little glances at you all the time when you're signing. They...

    If your family is hearing do they sign?

    My brother-in-law's family is like this (he lost his hearing suddenly about 5 - 10 years ago). They seem to be unwilling to learn ASL. They say "he needs to learn to lip read". I think that's silly and short sighted. How about meeting in the middle? It's really hard to learn to lip read...

    Hello!

    Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. My wife and I are learning ASL, and my brother-in-law is nerve deaf. He suffers from neurofibromatosis, and lost his hearing in both ears when a bilateral tumor was removed from his brain. He was in his 20s when this happened. We decided to start learning...
