Why don't the beginning ASL hearing students share fellowship with you at church? I can't answer for them, but I can tell you my story: I started learning ASL two years ago, once my hearing started deteriorating rapidly. I have to admit, that the first year I was learning, I did lurk at some...

LOL!!! Not true, but funny!:giggle:

Hi, I am so glad to hear it! I was actually wondering about your son after the last post I read. :D

Right? This happens all the time. To avoid getting snapped at, now sometimes I just give up. For instance, this morning, I asked my brother if the dishes in the dishwasher had been ran. He mumbled an answer, and I couldn't hear it or read his lips since he mumbled. So I asked him to repeat...

Hi, I go to school and I am 32 years old. I decided to get my MA so that I could become a college Composition and Literature teacher :) I had a good job for a long time out of High School in the Real Estate field, but after working in it for 10 years, the market collapsed (understatement maybe...

Hi Kari, You don't have any deaf or hoh friends? Did you go to a mainstream school then? Now that I have hearing loss, and know how it feels to not have other friends who are like me, I wonder about kids who are hoh and mainstream schooling vs school for deaf. I'm sure its a personal choice for...

:wave: Hi Kari.

Hi,nice to meet you Razzette. I am a teacher and a student at Sac State. I have been there for four years and am starting the English MA program there. I have never met William Vicars, but I do know Sandra Thrapp who is a teacher in that dept. She has always been very helpful. I will introduce...

:shock: I follow this, but now my head hurts. This is a lot of info, but spot on!

This is my worst fear :( At least my daughter is learning and will always be a part of my life. She is just the sweetest. I just found out about service dogs for HoH. I was thinking about getting one. I was thinking it may give me emotional support as well as help me with my hearing. My...

I love Tahoe soooo much! Its beautiful!!!! Plus, its not a bad place to party with your girlfriends either :naughty:

:hmm: Hmmmm....You have a point! :giggle: I really do adore my Lovebug. We have been together for 10 years. But this blaming my loss of hearing to lie about an argument is so LAME. I might bitch slap him next time he does it! :slap: I was so taken back and shocked by his strategy because my...

Yesterday, my husband and I were arguing because I wanted him to go to a dinner party with me at a friend's house, and he didn't want to go. We argued about it, then I finally gave up and left by myself. 15 min after I drive away, he texts me and says, "I dont know why you left without me. I...

Its hard for me to watch a terp for an entire 2 hour class. I can't imagine being 9 and having to watch a terp all day long. But watching a terp is at least better than reading an RTC screen. That's what really pushed me into learning ASL. I knew I couldn't function in my life without a...

Ahh, I see you are doing a cruise. Nevermind. I love to scuba dive, but I am scared to death of cruise ships! :Ohno:

I would so want to come if you guys set one up!!!! :applause: I have been to cacozumel as well as Cancun, and I have to say I thought diving and everything much better in Cocozumel. Cancun as a town also scetchy and a little scary. Just my experience though. Cacozumel, relaxing, not so many...

Hi :wave: I am not deaf, but I am hoh. I love to scuba. I've often thought about how much fun it would be to dive with others who know ASL. One friend I dive with likes to sign underwater, but he only knows basic ocean and sea life signs. Still, I like diving with him more than others because at...

What is a deaf wanna-be? Nevermind. Just read the linked thread. Oh...My.....God....:jaw:

HI, I am went hoh as an adult. I go to school at California University and I use RTC's in class to follow along. I started taking ASL classes two years ago, and now I know enough to use ASL terps. I voice for myself in class. I don't sign much myself at all because no one I'm friends or...
