    Think in sign?

    I am hearing but I now dream in sign mostly, I think out loud in sign, and often while reading Closed Captioning, i mentally see the signs forming in my head. I dont know that I would really say that I 'think' in sign.

    It's so adorable!

    Aww your rats are so cute. I have two females, one is a cinnamon color, her name is lilly and bamboo is a white with black hood. I want more, but have a hard time finding a breeder here in Arkansas. Rats have a lot of stereotypes, people always think theyre dirty, they smell, they bite...

    PDA with window mobile 5.0 ?

    I have the 6700, and i really run minimal programs on it. I have agile messenger, gmail notifier, and a funny little lie detector program that will test a persons voice and tell me if they are lying or not. Not exactly dependable, but funny.

    Silly question.

    I worked as a secretary at a local community college for a long time, and would often filter in calls concerning GEDs so I got to learn a lot about it. There is actually rather minimal paper work necessary. If you contact your local community college they should be able to offer free services...

    ASL Accent?

    I agree there most certainly is an accent with ASL, just like every person has an individual voice I have come to learn that each person has their own individual ASL accent. I as well am southern and I noticed a huge difference in moving to Boston from Arkansas, and Boston then back to...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    Im really sorry to hear that, ASD also divides by age and gender. The kids from what I have heard each day after getting out of class, some kids have notes for the houseparents, just saying what special attention that child might need that day. So that should be a big help. I wish you would...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    See i feel like i could answer those questions farily competently. I grew up in foster care so a lot of my life was based around being a primary care giver for children that often had not only mental and pyhysical diabilities but more than often had sever behavioral problems because of what...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    Thanks a ton, from what I understand, everyone is telling me that i will know that day, at the end of the interview process if i am hired or not. Which sort of makes me a little more nervous but a little more less scared. I just feel so over whelmed, i thought they had totally forgotten...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    Its a full time positon. What was your level of sign when you went in? Everyone keeps telling me that for ASD you just dont need to know sign, they will send you to classes. But it still worries me, i just have a huge knot in my stomach. Do you remember some of the things they asked you...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    Thats my fear, i can sign and interpret great when around friends and in a comfortable envrionment, but put me infront of a firing squad like that and i just freeze. But I do believe most of the people on the panel are hearing, at least the main woman i know is hearing and from what i know...

    Working at ASD (Arkansas School for the Deaf)

    A few weeks ago I heard about a few postions opened up at ASD for house parents. I was so thrilled to hear about the openings that I got an application in with in hours of hearing about the openings. I waited nearly 3 weeks to get a call back, and with glee and total excitement I just...

    Are you picky about buying a home?

    I guess it depends on the region but 4 bed 2 bath here is incredibly easy to find, its really all my family ran into when they were looking for a home. It was really difficult for me to find my one bed one bath place, i just wanted something small for my self. But you should be picky when...

    Bad Words in Sign Language

    My girlfriend taught me both signs, the older sign for japanese and the newer sign. Everytime I make the older sign it reminds me of that silly elementry school song "chinese japanese dirty knees look at these" and im probably the only person in the world over the age of 8 that actually...

    Not quite what we say.

    Thats why you should stray away from phrase books, and rather learn individual words so you can put the words together how you would chose to. Its not like in a different language where persons who speak ASL greet each other different. I find phrase books in general to be annoying, just...
