    Credit Card

    We have tried lots of them. Our last one was a hawaiian airlines rewards card, but the perks were not good enough for the amount of money we were running through it and paying off every month to rack up the points. Their point system sucked, and their flight service was even crappier, so we...

    How long until proficiency?

    I have been learning and using ASL for a few years. I am late hoh and so I voice for myself, but I often use interpreters for meetings and classes. I use terps about three days a week. I am much better at understanding what is being signed than I am at signing myself. I'm sure this is because I...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Epic was cute. I wouldn't say it was amazing or anything. Some kids movies are seriously great: Shrek, Madagascar, Toy Story, Etc. This one wasn't that great. I am excited to see Despicable Me II this summer. I thought the first one was hilarious. I also really want to see the movie with Will...

    Tell us about something nice someone has done for you recently.

My daughter had to be Shirley Temple for a school play he next morning and I didn't get home until 11 pm...

    Any One Here Suffer From A Mental Disorder?

    I beg your pardon, Grummer; you are so right! I was confusing him w Dr Silas Weir Mitchell. I studied Foucault when I wrote on the American Revolutionary time period and the spread of the plague. Foucault had some really cool theories on statutory identity and contamination during historical...

    Hearing Interpreters being arrogant

    I've been lucky. I've only had really nice and helpful terps. I'd be really irritated if I hade a rude terp. I have called an agency once to ask them not to send me a terp they sent, not because she was rude, but because her asl just wasn't up to par and I was having a really hard time...

    Any One Here Suffer From A Mental Disorder?

    Foucault had some pretty ridiculous theories on women and mental disorders. I studied some of his stuff for an article I wrote on Victorian literature because he was such a prominent psychologist during he Victorian erra.

    Any One Here Suffer From A Mental Disorder?

    I do not have any disorders as an adult, but as a child, I suffered from massive panic attacks. They started when I was about three. They would hit so hard and fast that people would call 911. I would lose consciousness and turn blue. It looked like I was dying, and it felt like I was dying. In...

    Meeting boy/girlfriend online....

    I met my husband online. Easy peazy! No regrets. We talked online and on the phone for a few months, then met, did the long distance thing for about six months, then he relocated. Been together ever since. 9 years and going strong!

    Applying to college. If I am deaf, what can I do? How can I get interpreters?

    I agree with everyone else. I use terps at my college. I just went to Disabled Student Services. I have never had any issues getting terps. You should be fine. Congrats on college and good luck with your education!

    Nitro's recent situation

    I hear ya. I realize that no system is perfect. I just think that my current system could be improved. There is no fool proof system. At the end of they day, the outcome will depend on the factors you are given in that situation. I just want to give myself the best possible chance.

    Nitro's recent situation

    So this one you have to use finger and then key? Or you can use one or the other? I feel like key takes too long. And what if you don't have your key on you at all times. At least I have my finger prints on me at all times. :dunno:

    Why do they make me fingerspell?

    You must not know him well. He is always talking about turbo engines. He can find a way to loop the coversation that way , no matter what the original topic. He has quite a talent! :P

    Nitro's recent situation

    Yes after the incident, my husband looked into a few fast release gun safes. One Iliked the best was bullet proof , so you could keep a hand gun loaded in it. It was a small box with a mounting system so you could put it somewhere accessible. It opened by finger print in a second. It was...
