    The Giving Tree - my video

    I'm glad I was understood! I had a talk with my teacher today. She says I should get more involved in the Deaf community here and I'll improve quickly. :-)

    The Giving Tree - my video

    Thanks you guys! It was enjoyable to do. I am going to talk to my teacher tomorrow...I feel as if I'm in a "language rut" and just not going anywhere. I have very good conversational fluency. I can make myself understood, and I can understand, but it's "not right" if you know what I mean. . .

    The Giving Tree - my video

    Thanks so much for watching :-) I will remember abt the title - thanks. I agree with you abt the format. I wish my teacher was more strict abt our format. Suggestions as to how I could improve the structure? Thanks. :-)

    Etoile- I had never heard of the white ink/ultraviolet ink tattoo. That is really neat. I like yours, btb. :-) Many things to consider...Perhaps I'll put it on my foot instead. ;-)

    Responding to hatred

    Sometimes I really forget just how ignorant and cruel people can be. Mostly because I surround myself with kind-hearted, understanding and accepting individuals. Have any of you ever been lashed out at for your sexuality? How have you responded to it? Someone drove by when my friend and I...

    Inked Interpreters

    Thanks for the insight guys. Definitely have considered the cons of the decision...I am also at a disadvantage because I have several visible and permanent scars on the arm I would like the tattoo on...(we'll say it's a result of "teenage angst"). They attract wandering eyes as well and often...

    Inked Interpreters

    Ok, here is a "silly question". I have been considering a tattoo for quite some time now, but have really wanted it on my left wrist. ASL and my involvement in the Deaf community is a huge part of my life and if I don't become an interpreter (ie: because of my own hearing loss or whatever), I...

    Help with Classifiers...

    Someone just told me last night that I am an awesome storyteller....lol I would agreed with the above...and add to use them whenever possible...and of course when they're appropriate. Someone who utilizes classifiers properly is really neat to watch. One thing that stands out in my head, is a...

    FM Systems

    Sometimes they just don't know what to do. I had similar problems at my large, public university and in the end they have been extremely accommodating, but what it boiled down to was telling them exactly what was going to help me and what wasn't. Turns out, they don't have many students who are...

    need help with CSS hmwk

    Wow! Thank you. That really cleared it up. You made it sound so easy. I'm still a bit shady on having html and css in the same document. I understand the concept just not how its really done. Hmmmmm.

    FM Systems

    I had a similar issue earlier and everyone gave me some great advice here on the forum. I talked to the disabilities service office and they ordered the one I asked for. It is made by Oticon and is called the "Amigo" or something. The teacher wears a mic and I pop in earbuds. It has helped me...

    Summer Intensive

    Hi there! I took a 2-week class at Gally last summer and will be returning this summer. I made friends that I still keep in touch with. It was a most amazing experience and we had a lot of fun. :-) I know that you are only allowed to take 2 classes though. So you can stay a maximum of...
