Yes, Angel, it is absolutely your choice of what to be done. We are simply answering your question about stating your gift preferences on the invitation cards, according to what the rules of manners. It is up to you to choose what you want. Please keep in mind that I am not attacking or being...

No, it is not an European way. Europe is a huge land mass, and you can't expect that the whole of Europe follows Lieblings' way. I was invited to people's houses on several occasions in Europe and they were always very happy to have me visit them even if I came bearing simple gifts or not. I...

Yes that is why I still invite people over to my home for get-togethers even though they don't bring anything, because I enjoy their companionship and I enjoy having them try the food I made, playing games and telling stories. I don't care about the ideas that people have to bring something.

Bingo... well said.

As an ASL tutor, I can't tell you how many times I feel discouraged from time to time when students don't get it about Deaf culture. However, on the plus side, there are too students that make you feel that it's worthwhile teaching, and you are an exemplary model for that. You go out socialising...

Me? I was replying to Leiblings post.

It doesn't take one person to make drama going. It takes two or more people, including you, and me.

In my experience growing up, it was customary for people to bring guests to weddings. Usually, weddings are big family affairs, but friends, co-workers and acquaintances are invited to the wedding as well. It is customary to give these people a choice to bring a guest or not. I don't...

Me too... The whole points of this are: - to keep your gift wishes separate from the invitations (mainly because you want them to be there to share the beautiful day with you.) - you can communicate your gift wishes in a different way through the word of mouth or emails in a tactful...

I sign to people at my work, and the funny thing is that people do understand me!

I remember these BRAVO magazines when I was growing up. I agree, it is not a porn magazine at all, far from it. It is like two pages out of the whole magazine that talks about sex, and the rest of magazine talks about movies, actors, rumours, bands, music, etc... I don't see what the big deal...

Actually, to me its not so disgusting. I understand it is a different point of view. if I ever go to Asia and someone offers me some dog to eat, I would try it. I think it is such a shame that people focus too much on saying it is gross to a point that it hinders their culinary adventures. But...

I can't agree with you any more than that. In my experiences, I have always gotten invitations from my hearing family and friends which never included gift registeries nor any hints of requests for gifts. When I moved to Utah, I was surprised to see some invitations with inserts stating that...

I would love to have chefs come over to my home and tear my food apart so that I can learn how to cook better. My bf and I are always constantly critiquing (not criticising, but giving critques) about our food that we cooked and try to think if it needs something to improve or not...

Yup, the Meat Market is not the place for me! Heh heh :giggle:

I think it is a bit harsh of you guys to judge people for eating dogs. After all, in India, they will NEVER eat cows, because they are considered to be quite sacred. Maybe they think we are disgusting for eating cows. Open your mind a bit to other perspectives, won't ya?

Even though I am a tutor at a local community college, leading ASL lessons in the language labs, I still think I would like to enrol into one of these ASL courses designated for deaf people. I'm always looking for room to expand and knowing what is appropriate to manipulate my signing with...

Now this thread is becoming too hilarious, I don't know why I didn't read back on it later on. Of course size matters, but not when you first meet someone.

I remember you. I joined during version two, I think. My SN never changed.

Not true... the college I work for provides ASL as credit courses, even to Deaf students, for foreign language credits.
