Thanks! My vision is okay, starting to need glasses if I'm reading for long periods of time or for small print though. I've heard of those glasses, so cool.. what are they called? I probably should get them too. Your sun grin bud.

Very interesting! I'm the same way in regards bedtime- window has to be sealed off and the door closed, my clock is tucked inside the nightstand. Total darkness required.. Wasn't expecting that answer.. wow. I'm also very sensitive to bright light anywhere. Outside in sunny days, my eyes are...

Hi Banjo & other Waardenburg folks, I'm curious.. do you have any problems with vision? Sensitivity to strong light or sunlight? Have silly sun grins whenever it's sunny outside?

Lucia, if you're before 30 years of age.. it could be, maybe not. Premature graying is one characterstic of Waardenburg's. But it's a common & widespread trait so it isn't an effective indicator if it appears to be the sole symptom. White spots ARE a good indicator of Waardenburg's though. The...

Oh man.. My 10 yr old nephew did not even hit a toddler when the toddler accidentally spilled soda ON xbox and ruined it bad! He was very upset but all he did was move the toddler out of room with no harm and tried best to clean the xbox! Even he understood hitting does not work......

Oh wow.. this needs to be stickied! Can't wait to see it. Opinions on the artists named in this? I've not seen any of their works yet.

This was from a while back but I'd like to comment on it if that's allright? I wouldn't say literacy depends 100% on whatever sign language is used. I was mainstreamed my whole life with/by pure SEE used by the adults & educators (us kids used our own form of PSE amongst ourselves). Looking...

Could I ask for common name signs for names starting with J? Would like to learn of a couple besides J at the shoulder.

:giggle: I love that study. It also showed who has the lowest rate of divorce? Atheists. One theory for the higher divorce rate amongst conservatives/Fundamentalists is because they get married earlier.. due to preaching of the 'no sex before marriage', the young couples hurry to get...

Sigh.. As I have tried to explain, it isn't that easy really and there is a huge difference between legal marriage and living together but not legally married. There are laws that no matter of "preparedness" a non-married couple can solve because the laws simply aren't there for them. IT'S...

Ahh the old reproduction, I mean, children arugment.. Ya realize, all lesbians need is a turkey baster? Gay men still have viable sperm, they could go the surrogate birth mother route... or adopt. So that arugment goes out of the window already. But this argument also implies that infertile...

This reminds me of a wonderful Hindu sailing poverb: Pray, but steer clear of those rocks. Heh. I just don't get it.. when a doctor operates and either saves a patient's life or changes it for the better, God is thanked not the doctor? What? God could have prevented the problem in...

Ohhhh that is GREAT news! So he recognizes the communication problem and has shown willingness to learn ASL. Very good signs!(heh!)

Okay.. here's the part that keeps confusing me, you say your friend makes lewd comments directly to people.. and then..?? Did he say something to him or to you right in front of your deaf friend? As for background noise: That was great! :giggle: No, you don't HAVE to tell the deaf person(s)...

Thanks, y'all rule! :ty: Hey you ghsh1996, a coke fan? I am one too! :bowdown: Love your banner sig. I've got coke stuff all over the house.. Got an antique red wool Coke jacket from my best friend for birthday last month, so COOL!

Is there a "deaf resoruces center" somewhere near you? I'm wondering if the way to go is to get in touch with a counselor who has dealt with deaf issues and could refer you to proper persons for help? I guess I have the feeling that this kind of situation that has progressed to this point might...

Great story! And I love you already.. :giggle: But seriously.. that was perfect: "They just shouldn't say it, just like if they were talking to anyone else."

Southern, "off colored" also can mean racist or bigoted, not just sexual. It was reasonable to assume it could have been something Deaf related. You say it wasn't so okay. As for the modified analogy.. it still depends on the context- the location of the persons involved. If everybody had...

Keep on the good fight, InTheGenes. There's simply no valid reason for disallowing gay marriages. The Consitution is supposed to mean equality for All. Gay and Lesbians happen to be American citizens too. I could answer those who try to use religion as a reason to vote against gay...

Haha, welcome from another newbie! There isn't a big community out here as far as I can tell either.. seems everybody are in Palm Springs or LA both which are a hour or more drive from here.. bah.
