Wow! Great info! Thank you.... So COOL!!!

Thanks for your reply. I've been pondering the thought because there is lots of Alzheimer's in my Mom's side of the family and a bit on my Dad's side. It is scary, especially being 'on' with my Mom her last 5 years. The good news is that I've never had a good short-term memory. lol I'm sure...

Do you think signing uses a different hemisphere of the brain than spoken languages?

Thanks for the replies. My Macbook Pro does a good job on my end but I have trouble seeing the other person and their signing clearly. It was lots of fun though! Positioning the laptop is such a way to not have the signing area chopped off will take some practice for sure. And...

I'm in Vermont and it's really coming down hard now. This was the Valentine's blizzard a few years ago... http://flic.kr/p/dTmEtw Ooops, the picture did not work.

Hi, I'm older and HOH, and have been trying to learn ASL longer than my signing shows. Certainly I lack confidence but I'm trying to join in, make connections and improve my signing. Rather than feel even more out of my league with the hip,young signers in the google+ group, I would like...

I am 60 years old with severe hearing loss, many years of "return of the locusts" type tinnitus, and a complicated health picture due to a rare systemic disease that is not well understood. Today I was hit with lots of dizziness again. It also feels like there is a stick deep in my right...

How is Google+ different from Skype? Just curious. I have tried Skype and it was so frustrating.

Hi Birdlady, I believe I got a PM from you this morning. Yes I would like to try practicing ASL with you. I will need a few days to figure out SKYPE. I have found that Bill Vicars and LifePrint.com have been the best for me. I did end up paying the $50 or so for a year's membership and so...

Hi BrittBritt, If you keep signing with your daughter all day, rather than speaking or speaking while signing, I think it will become easier and more natural for both of you. What has happened with me is that even though I study and practice ASL everyday, in real life I lack self confidence and...

Thanks, All. PhoneFusion did look good but way too expensive for the extremely few calls I get. I try to use only email or Text+. I did see the pay-by-message with PhoneFusion which looks expensive but may work out to be a good fit for the very few I have.

Thanks, Nitro! I'll check it out....

I'm another old mother hen in this group. I am 60 and have severe hearing loss, getting worse over the last ten or so years. I can't use hearing aids due to inflammatory response from other major health issues. I'm so sorry that you had the awful doctor experience, Britt. I have had too...

Thanks, Naisho. So are you saying that Google Voice captioning is super bad? I was wondering about Google voice anyway. Thanks...

Thanks you guys. It is 22 that I have seen both V V or L V, 24 as L 4 or V 4, and 26 < 29 using first the L or the V(2).

Is this too much to ask for? I have an answering machine for my CaptionCall phone to caption the messages. I did not get Fairpoint voicemail because that company has been beyond frustrating to deal with. With the new answering machine I can dial a number, hopefully with text plus, and get my...

Awwwww, he is adorable!!!

I sent back the Captel 840i and just had the CaptionCall installed. I think it is far superior compared to the Captel. The captions will never be perfect on any of these types of phones due to the quiet, fast or mumbled voices of people on the other end, but the display is much better, and...

I have seen people sign the 20s numbers in several different ways. Do you sign them, other than 21, 23, 25, using L handshape or V?

Hi Birdlady, I can feel your post! I have severe hearing loss and struggle with depression, especially with holidays. It seems the only one I can communicate with is my service dog, Tess. How long have you been partnered with your Service Dog?
