Thanks for the tip on the Prudential Tower...I'm afraid of heights, but if I'm feeling brave, maybe I'll just do it!!! (I did the World Trade Center...kicking and screaming all the way!!!) :Ohno:

And didn't he date Jessica Simpson or somebody?

Me and my sis's puppy!

Thanks for sharing that, Ocean!!! I sent the link for the article to all of my friends who have kids!!! Ya just never know! (I can remember doing that when I was a little kid because I thought it was funny to see people wince and say "ouch"----fortunately, I've grown out of that behavior!)

I have been married so long, I forget what dating looks like. However, I do believe that it isn't a "hearing thing" or a "Deaf thing"---it's how they are raised! If the parents treat each other and their children with love and respect and communicate well, then the children will do the same...

Everyone has such interesting experiences. I know I'm considered a hearie and a minority here on AD, but I appreciate being able to read your posts and comments. Keep it up!

Wow---Coolgirl, you play percussion? Ever hear of Evelyn Glennie? Irish deaf percussionist? She's pretty cool---world famous and what talent!!! Plays in her bare feet for obvious reasons.

Thanks, Ocean! Maybe Tom Brady and I will run into each other; if so, I will definitely give him your S/N on AD!!! I'll be on the look out! I hope to bring back some good info from the conference, and I'm always willing to share :cool2:

Thanks everyone!! Good information. I would love to get to see Salem, but I'll be in classes from 9-5 each day (and I won't have a car). I should be able to see some landmarks in the city, though. I especially appreciate the info on the subways after dark. Glad I opted for an afternoon...

Anybody have any information about Boston that might be helpful? Safe city? I will be attending the summer symposium at NEU, flying in to Logan. I guess I just take the subway to the school. I never visited Boston before, so what are your thoughts?

Welcome, welcome, welcome! :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Face wrinkles? Two words: steam iron.

In my mid-forties here....not sure how I feel about it. :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Wow! I'm happy that you are safe. It's not unusual to have bad dreams and troubles after a traumatic event such as an accident. That's normal and understandable. But if you experience continuing anxiety, sleeplessness, or if you can't seem to get back to driving or normal life, I would...

Some that I've seen on IEPs (Individualized Education Plans): * Preferential seating for the student * Teacher needs to repeat questions or comments made by students (sometimes interpreter can't hear what a kid says, or if the student lipreads, they need to see it on the teacher's lips) *...

I'll bet the doc doesn't PAY for Spanish interpreters---probably somebody he just knows or someone who works there who happens to speak a little Spanish. I'm surprised he didn't do what one doc did---get his neighbor who knows some sign to come to the office voluntarily and sign for a patient...

They could put bouncers at the restaurant doors....? This could not possibly be a habit of all d/Deaf people; no one I know would ever do that. And don't some hearing people pull the same crap???? C'mon---it's an equal opportunity crime!!!!:h5:

You could also send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper; maybe they would print it---that would burn their butts!!!!!

Not sure that I agree that ASL is not a language by virtue of it not having a written format; there are still languages (not merely dialects) that are only spoken, have no alphabet or writing system. I have to agree with the many posters who stress early parental involvement in the education...

This is good information, as I have a cheap-o lousy cam right now which allows me no decent sign language communication at all (having V.P. at work has spoiled me, too!!!). I'm really glad I read these posts; now I know what to look for!!! Thanks!
