Speaking of doing unwork-related stuff at work: I read in Cosmo or some magazine like that people make extra money this way---while they are working at their desks doing their regular job, they have a webcam trained on their feet and the cam is played on a foot fetish site. I'm considering...

This is getting ridiculous. Signing off...have a great day all!

I don't know about this situation, but if the agreement was made with the college, and no contract with them has been broken, then it's not fraud. It's important to remember that.

I think this is a good discussion to have, so everyone gets a clearer picture of how interpreters work, Deaf input, etc.

Well, of course the profession is not entirely standardized, although the RID is trying to work toward that. There are standard practice papers on their web site and also a Code of Professional Conduct that give principles and guidelines for the professional interpreter. I was just trying...

$3.97 for regular in Allentown, PA---that's the cheapest I've seen round here.

I was recently asked to give a quote to a college for interpreting services for certain courses. I was given the days and times. I quoted them the price per hour for class and travel, and explained the cancellation procedure. It was all clear to the college up front, so each party knew...

I don't use TTY much, so I didn't even know the operators do that!! That's cool. I guess it's the same as interpreting face-to-face, you may not be able to include all noises in the room due to time and logistics, but the more the person feels a part of their surroundings, the better. Oh...

I have had similar experiences. I usually try to just focus on the whole message; but sometimes it's hard if I'm interpreting a conversation, say between doctor and patient, and the patient uses their voice but it's not clear. I try to walk the line between trying to clarify if they can't be...

Hey, nice job on the vid! The instructions were very clear. It looks so easy a caveman could do it! :lol: Actually, you've inspired me to try the recipe.

Welcome, ET! AD is a really helpful site; so much information exchanged! I don't know much about Meniere's, so I've learned some things just from this thread! My mom has tinnitus, but I don't believe she's been dx'd with Meniere's; but her hearing is not so great, and she often doesn't know...

I also try to remember that almost all persons dx'd with BPD were terribly abused (often sexually) or neglected beyond belief for long periods of time when they were very, very young children; many are cutters, high-risk takers, not happy folks---very wounded. Some are wounded beyond help, but...

Sometimes I just say, "Great...keep practicing," and return to my conversation. Or you could pretend not to hear them and mess with their heads. People are funny....until they're annoying.

Interesting discussion. I have had some interesting dealings with persons with BPD combined with other disorders/illnesses. With untreated BPD, I have had to be very aware that I have established clear and rigid boundaries, as their tendency was to manipulate the situation so I would be their...

That's so cool...thank you!!!

Thanks, everybody....it's touch and go, but I think I'm feeling better. Maybe just needed a little time and encouragement :-)

Thanks everyone---you've been very helpful! Cheers!

I found a Logitek Quickcam Pro 9000 for like $80 on e-Cost, and I'm seriously going to order it. I just want to know if other people have had success using it for chat. My big concern is it records at 30 frames/sec; is that enough to provide clear sign language? I also have DSL, supposed to...
