Welcome to AD!!! :-) I noticed you're from VA. I grew up near Staunton VA, I'm sure you know where that is. Look forward to reading your posts here :)

I MOST definitely agree with you!!! You cannot prevent anyone from getting in touch with others on the internet but you (as parents) can teach your children what is appropriate and what is not.

AJ - your signature picture is really cool. Everytime I see it, I think about "Mandy", since that's my name too lol. But i'm like, wait a minute, you don't even know me at all lol.

Yes there has been a lot of misrepresentation, especially in the media. But when I spoke with several friends (who are Gally students) and I asked them why they were against JK, and most of their responses were that she was not Deaf enough. That is what really made me feel overwhelmed and VERY...

To be honest, I'm feeling overwhelmed by all of this. I can understand where everyone is coming from but I need to share this. I grew up as "hearing", not learning ASL until I was 17 years old and I attended RIT, taking mainstreamed classes with a sign language interpreter BUT I was involved...

I was able to set up my GMAIL pop on my sidekick 2 but now I am annoyed by it because I get junk e-mails and if I send an e-mail from Gmail, it will show up on my SK too. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the Gmail pop? I can only see Edit button under Email Accounts. HELP...

I started this thread but didn't put in my 2-cents (I didn't realize it till now lol). Anyway, I don't have a problem with Jane Fernandes being Gallaudet's president due to several reasons: *I grew up mainstreamed, using SEE until my junior year in HS and finally I learned ASL *I have a...

I use it once in a while for special occassions such as July 4th etc and I have a lot of friends who use it so I have nothing against it but one thing I know for sure is that I'd rather ride in a car with someone who is high than drunk. I think we should legalize pot and tax it. It will...

They're calling it BPN now *BEST PRESIDENT NOW*

Now they're calling it BPN now *BEST PRESIDENT NOW*

He's ready to retire.

Update Its in the news now. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/01/AR2006050100770.html My friend also told me that Gally called the DC police before making their announcement. Isn't that a little bit fishy?

Here's another link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/01/AR2006050100770.html

I personally don't have a problem with it either, as long as the job is done right and good. But it's the same thing that happened in 1988 with DPN.

yeah I don't think it's been posted on the internet yet because it just happened, like a half a hour to a hour ago. I am pretty sure by tonight or tomorrow morning, there will be news about it.

No she is deaf but look at the lowercase "deaf" not "Deaf".

I don't think she intentionally does that but she doesn't have good social skills with deaf people and they feel intimitated by her. I'm not sure. I'm waiting for more info from my friend.

I'm not sure but I think it has to do with her way of doing things. I know that Gallaudet students wanted someone to bring back Deaf culture to Gallaudet, to preserve the ASL language, so forth and Jane will not be doing that. My friend said that she thinks that Jane will try to open Gallaudet...

My friend said there's about 300 people protesting at the gates right now. I'm pretty sure more will come.
