I like British, Irish, and Australian accents. I am deaf, but when I used hearing aids, I also really liked deaf accents. I think part of the reason that I like those particular accents is that they are the closest to what I grew up with and can understand them better than other accents...

My native language is English as that was all that was given to me growing up other than a little German tutoring and a couple Spanish classes (seriously, who thought that was a good idea?). In college (another hearing school), I was finally able to take up a couple ASL classes, but not enough...

First off, :wave: and welcome to AllDeaf. The following was my reaction to the hearing people in your post: :shock: :mad: :pissed: and the following was how I calmed down: :rl: (on Xbox 360 :D). Sorry to hear that you have had to deal with that. I have had my share of annoying ignorant...

Wow!:shock: If you don't mind, what was it that you wrote for the status?

SigninTwrdXtacy, Please read the bold I included in your post.

Nice summary of what I meant to say. See, I talk too much. :D :lol:

I think it's fine if some people want to use the "excuse me" line. I do it too every once in a long while and I am trying to break THAT habit. I hate having to excuse myself "excuse me...", apologize "sorry, but...", or ask for a favor "please..." every time I miss something (which can be...

This convo is focusing on that subgroup of "non-native ASL users/hearing people" who happen to have learned it as a passing fad, not about thinking all of those people are like that. :D As far as you justifying your reason for learning ASL, I believe (I could be wrong and it could just be me...

While I was mainstreamed as an oral "HOH" person (not in any special education school or special class), I am so visual it sometimes feels ridiculous. There are many times when I just cannot understand what is trying to be said or explained unless it is demonstrated visually or I can try to put...

All I can say is (exasperated sigh/annoyed sound here).:roll:

my name is Tabitha (from the bible not the show Bewitched :roll: :D) 28 years old and my next birthday will be on February 1st 3/4 Prussian (what is now several countries including Germany and Poland) and 1/4 Irish (there is also a dab of Native American) deaf since birth (bilateral mixed...

You didn't do anything wrong, it can and does happen to anyone (hearing, hoh, or deaf) and the maintanence guy was stupid for not paying attention to the sign you posted next to the doorbell (curious, what does it say exactly?). :giggle: I think this thread should be renamed to "stupid thing...

Either I didn't attend any of my IEP meetings or I didn't know what I was there for or what was going on to know that it was an IEP meeting and what that meant. I did find the documents from those meetings that my parents kept and now I am keeping them, maybe if I read them (I glanced at them...

:cool2: So :D to hear about your progress. That sounds like a dream visit and the start to finally finding some relief. I hope it continues to go well and in the right direction.

From what I saw, audiofuzzy wasn't so much saying that it was impossible for deaf to become beauticians due to their hearing loss specifically, but that the country/industry had been saying it was impossible by denying the deaf people the chance to become beauticians. So in that case/example...

I took Spanish in high school. Although looking back, I wish they would have offered ASL - but they were a only small school (12 people in my graduating class). I did pretty well, but I hated when we had to call a teacher in Mexico and try to communicate with them on speakerphone as part of...

:thumb: Good Luck. "I will pray for you" hehehe.

That's one of the reasons I decided to give up on hearing aids. Growing up, I had headaches/migraines at least five times a week, but I rarely took medicine. It wasn't because it wasn't that bad, it felt like hell and I suffered through it. I just always developed a tolerance for the medicine...

My sister and I have always had a hilarious time with something like that. We always seem to know what the other is going to say. I would start signing for her to a deaf/hh person (she doesn't know as much vocabulary as I do) before she even started speaking or she would start speaking for me...

Yup, sometimes I put on my sunglasses, since I have light-sensitivity, and just walk on by with my service dog :cool2: (BTW, I never claim to be blind or that Leah is a seeing-eye dog. I have a legitimate reason for both dog and glasses, it's there "fault" for thinking of a logical conclusion...
