Hi Everyone! :wave: I am currently attempting to learn ASL through a community college class and an online website suggested by the forum. I'm running into a few (what seems to me) very stupid questions, but I can't seem to get a straight answer from my instructor. Maybe I could ask here...

You know, that's a very good point- I didn't think of the possibility of him having ADHD. It would explain a lot of his traits, etc. As for shortening the story, I'm pretty sure it's an impossibility-- we're talking about a man who took 15 minutes to ask me if he could borrow a particular...

Hi Robin, As near as I can tell there was no profanity, I think my friend/tenant was just that clueless.... :lol: But to give a bit of a clarification -- yes I was "lip reading" (is that the correct term? It's hard to know). But anyway, basically this guy likes to move when he talks...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and quick response! :lol: Frisky- thank you, but trust me—I’m not always so positive, lol. Phillips- love your signature box – the man with the cursor is fantastic! Bottesini- that’s an Alien icon in your signature, right? If so, we should get...

Hi Everyone! Well, according to what I'm reading, this is the place for introductions to the forums- so that's what I'm here to do :wave: My name is Laura, and for the majority of my life, nothing was wrong with my hearing-and I lived quite contently within the hearing culture and world...
