Vorsia, I'm sorry you had to go back in to a hospital. On the plus side though, that hospital has a good patients relations department and at least one good social worker. I"m sure that they will help you except that I I don't know if either of those depts are open on weekends though. I...

Vorsia, I'm sorry you had to go back in to a hospital. On the plus side though, that hospital has a good patients relations department and at least one good social worker. I don't know if either of those depts are open today though. I suggest telling doctors, nurses and other hospital...

Oh, I had forgotten what you said in your OP. So, if I understand correctly, you are only going to the community college to get the certificate so that you can apply for an ASL interpreter's program later. But except for that piece of paper -- that community college is essentially worthless...

:laugh2: Seriously, I think there are different kinds of intelligences. So some people may be brilliant when it comes to school work but not so clever when it comes to common sense or simple arithmetic. But its still funny. :giggle:

I liked the video. The web site it comes from, ASLized!, looks interesting also.

That is really disturbing. The school district has hired an interpreter for a language that she is not fluent in and only took two classes in? And she is expected to keep your son informed as to what is going on in class? That sounds like a very bad joke and also grounds for a lawsuit about...

Per the article he was dumb enough to stick his head inside a particle accelerator, but still smart enougth to complete his PhD afterwards. :hmm: Makes me wonder how smart one actually has to be get a PhD. :hmm: Racher, is that your blog by any chance? The blog's name, Hearing Sparks...

This is funnier than "Man bites dog!" And it's true too! :P

Wow! I'm glad the docs found the right anitbiotic. Hope you get all well very, very soon!

I got a text from her boyfriend. She is at the ER now. I don't know how she is doing now, but I am glad that she did end up going to the hospital.

Jane, I wouldn't be so concerned about this study. They are undergraduates learning how to do a study, but this is obviously not a serious study that will affect social policy. The reasons are that the students told us what the purpose of the study is before anyone participated, and the people...

:laugh2: Perhaps we ARE twins. :) That is how I feel also.

I can't find your post, I didn't mean to leave you out. I took a quick look at the book at Amazon ( look inside feature) and Google Books. AFAICT, Bradshaw did not use footnotes in his book. I've gotten burned in the past reading nonfiction books without footnotes -- so I rarely read...

You ask good questions and I'm going to ask you to give me some time to give you a good answer. For now I'll just say two things: * I took a quick look at the National HLAA's 990 for 2010 and that confirmed that most of the organization's money was spent on Programs, not Management &...

I hear you. What I find is that if people choose to continue to stay involved with HLAA they do so on a grassroots lobbying or, since Walk4Hearing* has gotten started a few years ago, on a fund raising basis. The focus is on lobbying or fundraising but friendships develop also. I know...

Yes, go to the hospital now. I know you don't know sign yet -- but the hospital has to communicate with you on your terms. It's not their choice -- it's the ADA. Bring pen and paper and have them write down everything for you. An aide can do that if the doctor doesn't want to. Call...
