Since I have Fibromyalgia, I try to get as much sleep as possible, which at times is far from enough. Getting older, you end up getting up 2 or 3 times a night for the restroom, then it's hard to go back to sleep .... So I try to get to bed between 10-11 but sometimes it's closer to midnight...

Hi Jillio Really, who is that? I would love to get together for coffee sometime with that person. Looks like a perfect opportunity for me to let my new language grow. Nice to meet you!

Hi Oceanblue7, Love your name. LOL, LOL. I love the ocean. But for now, my time and passion are to finish school! After 33 years, I've changed careers. Am anxious to start my new profession! Thanks for the welcome. Hugs to everyone.

Hi GHSH & Cheleler, Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I will be good at it because I am determined to be good at it. I went to my first ASL "Silent Lunch" meet. It was soooooo much fun. I actually understood some of the signs. We were 6 in all that gathered. Next week we are having a...

Hi Bebonang, Roadrunner, Crystal71 & sequoias. Yes, I love it here in TN. Weather has been hot for this year, but love it here. There is the TN school for the Deaf but it's quite a distance from me. I did contact the Knoxville Center for the Deaf and they do teach classes so I will be able...

Hi all, Today instead of class we had a BSL signer come in and she talked about BSL poetry. It was AWESOME. As I was listening to her, she talked and signed some but she had 2 translators, they were signing BSL and I saw quite a similiarity to what I remember seeing in Canada. I am...

Thanks Moonmoon. I've been learning soooo much these past couple of weeks. I was actually able to ask classmates, their name, their major, where they went to high school, their age and even their favorite colour. What will be nice is next week, there is a silent lunch with some students from...

Hey John, I too am a student in ASL. I love it as well and am so upset I never took this earlier in my lifetime. But ... I'm doing it now and will be using it. However, next semester since I'll be out of school, I'm looking for another place to take it instead of paying over $1,000.00 a...

Sunshine Lady & Blue eyes, Thank you for the welcome. I've contacted the Knoxville Community for the Deaf and they are having a group of people next week on Tuesday that are beginners of ASL, so I'm going to go and see if I can get a chance to meet others. I am so blessed that I can take this...

Thank you and I truly hope you enjoy your cruize. I'm so excited to be learning this new language. I know it will help me as I am in the process of changing careers after 33 years doing the same thing. So now is my chance to give back to society and make a difference in a small way! Nice to...

thank you Pete. I appreciate the advise. Will definitely try that! have a great weekend. Altotwo

LOL, LOL I worked right across the street from there and never saw it. LOL, LOL. I live about 7-8 miles from there, will have to go back and see it when all the tourists decide to go back home. Too crowded in the streets right now! :-) Hope you enjoyed your visit this way! I love living...

Thank you Pete. That is what I do. I understand it can be hard for him to keep trying to adjust his hearing aids so I do get closer and speak in a normal tone and if he still cannot hear, than I approach him to speak closer to his ear. This way, for me, I'm still showing respect to him and...

Thanks Pete. This book is awesome. It was recommended for our class. It is a huge book but very easy to read. It helps hearing people like myself understand the plight much better and the history. I am all for ASL as a language of its own. My father-in-law is very hoh, although 78 he uses...

Great Book I think every hearing person needs to read the book I'm reading called "For Hearing People Only." It certainly explains all of the dilemnas of what deaf people had to go through and while reading it it is infuriating me big time. I do not think that it was fair what the...

Hey Girl, I'm originally from Canada. I was born and raised in Montreal and am now living in TN. I moved here about 7 years ago. Spent the better half of a lifetime in Canada, so now I enjoy the no snow and warmer weather. Glad to meet you. Altotwo

Hi All, I'm new to this forum. I am taking an ASL course and want to continue to take all the courses available. I would love to meet someone who knows ASL or uses ASL all the time, who is deaf, and be able to practice and make new friends. I've gone back to school after doing accounting...
