Thanks Jiro and TheWriteAlex. I did not know that. Makes sense now that I understand.

I know this is an old post but I can't help but wonder why this quake was only a 5.9 and it was felt as far away as Canda and Georgia. A quake this size in California would not have been felt so far away from the epicenter. I lived there for 30 years and experienced a few quakes in that time...

I am so very sorry this happened to you. You did everything you could do so now it is time to forgive yourself. I am even more sorry the owner of these dogs did not have the opportunity to spend a very long time in jail to think about what he did wrong. It seems everyone involved in this paid...

Actually as a business owner it does not pay me to have a merchant account to prosess a $3.00 bag of dog cookies so that does not affect me. I was responding to your example. I am also a consumer and not using their service because I disapprove of their business practices was my point...

YES my dear. It bothers the hound out of me.

Of course I do not expect banks or any business to give away their goods or services for free. I do however think fees should be reasonable and not excessive. Interest rates between 28% and 32% or higher seem to me to be excessive. A debt card allows me to access my own funds in the same way...

I agree. I would also like to see stiff fines and perhaps jail time for owners who train their dogs in this manner but fail to supervise them, confine them appropriately to their own property, or take any kind of responsibility for their behavior. It saddens me to see the dogs and the breed...

Wells Fargo is also jumping on this bandwagon according to the news tonight. I really hate to encourage the banks to take advantage of their depositors in this way. I wonder how long it would last if everyone closed out their accounts and did business with folks who do not feel the need to...

Gosh Kristina, I never would have thought that was a problem for you from reading your posts. I thought that perhaps fluent signers were reluctant because students made so many mistakes and we are so slow. At least I do and am. I too get flustered and have to begin again on a simple sentence...

Sorry Kitten. I do not have a camera on my computer but thank you for your offer. I am sorry your assigned partner is so rude. Perhaps you should mention the situation to your instructor. There may be someone else available to sign with you in your class.

Happy to hear it. Good Luck

It is almost impossible to learn ASL without a class and grammer is really a hard concept to get right. Sure, you can pick up some signs and there are a number of websites that help with different parts of the language but without a mentor it is really tough. There is also the problem with...

I am losing the vision in my right eye from old age. It happens and we make adjustments. It is usually just inconvenient and annoying. The left eye is still good so not all is lost. Thank you for your concern but I will be fine.

Thanks Vacation Guy. I did not know about that one. It is still light here for a couple hours after happy hour so maybe I can get to one. Thanks again.

I am sure you are right Gunner but I am not trying to learn another language and I do not have another forum that will allow me to vent some of my frustration. Not to mention you guys have really good ideas. It is just so hard to learn any language and then not have anyone to communicate with...

The only silent supper I have found is at night and I can't drive after dark because of poor vision but it was a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks Souggy. I can appreciate that and I understand. I guess if my time was limited I would not want to spend it with a student either. I guess I will put my post back in Craing's List and hope someone with more time will answer. It has just been such a really bad week I just needed to...

I can't practice with anyone on Skype because I do not have that tool that lets you see the other person on the line. I need someone in my area that I can meet with personally. The students in my class are either not serious enough to prepare or are beyond beginning signers and do not seem to...

OK, I give up. I just don't get it. Everyone seems to be supportive and encourage ASL students but no one wants to sign with us except other students and even then it is a problem. Some of the students in my class already sign and some are beginners like me. I don't understand that but no...

That is funny! What a great way to start the day. Also great point for me as a new ASL student. I won't forget it after that story.
