Hi All, A major aspect of the Meeting Half Way campaign is Deaf Awareness. As part of this aspect, we're thinking about putting together a Deaf community powered blog in which Deaf people can blog about notable incidents in their interaction with hearing organisations in a diary format. So...

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Basically, I strongly believe in doing good and that each person should do good with whatever he/she has been blessed with. About half a year ago, I came to realise how important my company's communication services were to Deaf people. I discussed things...

Thanks for the welcome BettyBoop!

Thanks. I'm not too into IM as I could spend hours on it and I am so busy. I use MSN and I've bookmarked your offer for when I get more free. Thanks again.

I've got lots of questions and will post them in the main boards. For now, I'd just like to say its nice to meet you and thanks for your warm welcome. Also, as this is an "Introduce Yourself" thread, I would just like tell everybody that I am not very Deaf aware and I'm sorry (in advance) if...

Lol! I watched the guys on the DeafTax website and was amazed at their speed. I don't want to ask too many questions (as I could get answers by googling and waiting for my course books to come), but it gives me a chance to talk with you. Can you tell me, when does fingerspelling get...

Cool! Do you know of a web resource where I can see the alphabet in sign language? Also, is there a difference in alphabet between the sign languages of different countries?

Thanks for the welcome. Forgive me for not knowing how to sign read, but what does your avatar say?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Especially from someone with 20,000 posts. What's your name and which country do you live in?

THanks for the Welcome. I haven't been in the UAE for that long, but its definitely a nice place. Its much warmer than the UK and, it seems, the sun has a brightening affect on people. The area which I'm in is much more family-orientated and that is definitely something me and my family value...

Wow! Spot on! I cleared all my private data and now its faster than Opera. Bye bye Opera. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and some of you probably know me by now. For those who don't, my name is Fahed, i'm 28 with 3 kids, from London and now in the UAE. I can hear and I've come on board to make deaf friends and learn about Deaf life, Deaf culture, Deaf attitudes and get...

In theory... yes. In practice, though, I access American sites quite fast. Also, I tried FF in safe mode and it didn't make a difference. I'm using the forums with Opera now.

No problem; my feeling's haven't been hurt... its just not how I epxected things to go. As for not reading the rules, I'm really sorry not to have read them as thoroughly as I should have. It seems like scammers & spammers come here a lot and my use of the words "raise funds for charity"...

Thank you for your welcome Amy - being the first welcome, it means a lot. I'm going to avoid asking questions for about 2 weeks because, I don't know much and if i start asking then it won't stop and I'm sure I'll learn alot from my course. Its a long distance learning course which will be...

No need to be sorry, by the way. I just never imagined my introduction to the Deaf community would turn out like this.

Guys! Honestly, I don't want to take anything from any of you; rather, I want to give. My company provides technology which can make many services equally accessible to Deaf people as they are to hearing people and there are other companies provide similar technologies. The Half Way...

Aaaaaaargh! I'm not a scammer, a spammer or a fish... not even half a fish. I chose the screenname "HalfWayMan" because the name of the campaign is "Meeting Half Way", i.e. Deaf people make a lot of effort to communicate with hearing people, why can't hearing people meet half way.

Must be one of my extensions that's slowing things down.

Although I haven't been too welcomed at first, I'd like to help. Any chance of knowing what kind of costs are involved? That way there's a goal which everyone can chip in to meet, with some giving more than others. Something like ChipIn would work great.
