My great gran is most likely profoundly deaf. 80 something with Parkinson's disease, and the fact that we ask her about her cat, and she thinks we asked about the shuttle mission. Man it is so much easier talking to a Deaf person who knows ASL. :ty: My dad is unable to afford a regular...

My great grandmother and my dad are (possibly) both in need of hearing aids. My great Gran needs to upgrade from analog to a digital, and my dad, being a truck driver, is losing hearing in at least one, if not both, of his ears. My mother wants to know if there is someplace online that has a...

For Jacksonville, you also know that the mosh has nothing to do with concerts. The construction on Roosevelt boulevard streets may have been scheduled a year, but you were born and graduated in the time it took them to finish.

Well, I would suggest putting them all into a big group and drop a nuke on all the stupid people, but I know what would happen then. Nature abhors a vacuum, so we will then witness more, and stupider stupidity.

ASL, if I got my linguistics right, is based heavily on French Sign Language (LSF???), which finds roots in home languages there and also in French. French follows a topic comment type. That would make a phrase like "We are going to a meeting tomorrow" become in ASL: TOMORROW MEETING WE GO...

Well, I am currently in between training, but will continue this Fall. However, I have sometimes wound up in a situation where I was the only one available to interpret. Only once have I actually had time to prepare for the event, and that was because I had just started helping in the Deaf...

snopes.com: Secret Shopper Scams Just a note that I recently received a check from a group from Canada for 1900 dollars and we discovered that they were a fraud. Be careful with these guys. If you receive a check for something like that. have the bank make sure it has backing before you check...

wow, that was the most bizzarre thing I have ever seen.

I remember having worked the window at Starke's Mcdonalds and having a Deaf person come up to the window. Knocked me off my schedule a little, but I did have her order sent up to the second window after that. What really made me laugh was the first window person asking if we had braille menus. I...

Lol, :P

I, being an editor, would find it refreshing if someone sent me constructive criticism on my writing.

I was thinking whole hand moving forward from under chin. :doh:

I tend to search Youtube for ASL videos all the time. Some of them are extraordinarily good at it. One of my favorites is Vanceej. She has many people on it, but she shows up in a good few of them. Her first song was Toby Mac's Irene, in ASL. The channel owner is the center person at the...

Knowing what I know now, I would tell the teacher to stop telling me what not to do and get a life. It adds to the reasons I prefer homeschooling to public school, at least the teacher will care that the student gets the right education.

Man, I pictured the wrong sign there.

That does make sense to me.

It took a sledgehammer of reason to get my mom out of that viewpoint. That, and my A+ paper on Audism from Psychology and ASL 1 (I used the same paper in both classes, because my my Gen. Psy. teacher wanted a paper on prejudiced viewpoints, and my ASL teacher wanted a paper on an issue in the...

I remember one very odd thing. Before college, I was homeschooled. We had a co-op program we were in where they had a signing class. Since I didn't have any assigned classes during that time, I would sit in on it and see what it was like. The teacher used Joy of Signing as a dictionary and...
