My absolute favorite thing is to go to the library. Since it's normally quieter than most places, it is only place that is 100% silent for me. No vibration of any kind (ie traffic) not even any of the muffled sound that I sometimes can hear in other places. Nobody running around or the hectic...

I'm curious, since I don't know BSL, what does your signature (right word?) mean?

:hug: I am sorry to read that you don't feel well. But am very happy that you seem to be getting better!:thumb: Take care Staci

Hi Miles,:wave: Welcome to AD. I hope that you get out of this site what you want to. Looking forward to getting to know you. Take care Staci

So then should a newbie such as myself restrict themselves to commenting only on this thread and wait until I have my sea legs as you put it? And if so then how would one know that they are ready to post elsewhere?

Have any of my fellow latened deafies experienced any hostility (lg or sm) from ppl on here in re: to not being born deaf? If so how have you felt about it and how have you handled it? Thanks Staci

Wow these are brilliant! I am going to tell the Deaf club here about this, The very first night that I met a cpl of deafies here (there is only 15 or so) both of the guys were telling me about being pulled over by the police and the nightmare it became. Even tho one had a hearing wife...

awww thank you:ty: that was a really nice and sweet thing to say.:aw:

:wave: back at ya...where abouts in LA did you grow up and why did you move out?

:ty:Thank you for letting me know about the 50 msg mark. I'm glad that you got my msg anyway. I also love watching the native dancers here. We have a large Native population in LA and I attended a candlelight memorial service last month for the native women that have been killed or gone...

A friend once told me about the time she was flying and the flight attendant had asked if she wanted anything. My friend said that she was deaf and was about to say for her to please look at her as she lipreads. FA gets look of regret on face and walks to her galley, and comes back with a...

Well if I remember correctly..Cherie was totally blind. She never wore any kind of sunglasses so I could see her eyes and she looked almost like she didn't have eyeballs, they were very sunken into her head and never moved to focus on anything. This was back in the 70's and 80's and then I ran...

I'm sorry that I have offended you again. *moving fist over chest* I meant nothing by it. Thank you to the rest for the information provided. It now makes perfect sense to me.

Wow, that's one I'd never heard of! Actually went to elementary and jr high with a blind girl...2cnd day of jr high we all are asking her for directions!:lol: She had every place that we ever went mapped out and down pat long before us seeing morons did! Now that I think about it I don't...

:wave: Hi Maureen, really nice to meet you. My first name is actually Maureen as well..but my family has always called me by my 3rd name which is Staci...good thing is that I always know who's calling to either demand money (ie Revenue Canada) or sell me something!:D. I look forward in getting...

Now I might actually buy that one....I could really use the mini screwdrivers!

:ty::thumb:

Whew....I'm glad you got it as intended..didn't need to start something else today!:lol: Never thought of a deafie as inferior to me as a hearie..in fact always kind thought they were smarter as most knew more than one language fluently!

That does make sense and God knows I have met my share since I became Deaf. I'm an equal opportunity hate kinda gal...I don't hate or dislike ppl based on race, religion,deafness, disability etc...If I don't like someone it's because they're an idiot or mean or something like that not because...
