In driver's ed, I ran over a snake. My instructor was sleeping, so it was all good. Other than that, I avoid hitting animals if at all possible. Once through my windshield, I saw a little frog jumping in the road. But through my rear view mirror, he wasn't jumping anymore. I don't know what...

I try not to be rude because if that person was interested in ASL, saw me signing and then I flicked them off or something, that's one less hearing person that makes the effort to communicate with Deaf/HoH folk. It bothers me, sure, but I usually just catch their eye and smile.

I completely understand and am in a similar boat. Does it look like a regular doorbell? If so, probably no one will even notice. I wouldn't.

Maybe I'm too relaxed, but good grief. Maybe they're a bit intimidated by Deaf people for some reason. And after the ruler-on-the-back-of-the-hand treatment he/she just got, I wouldn't blame them. It's not my place to be anyone's conscience.

Ok. Well what's all the fuss about "they HAVE to give you a strobe light! The ADA says! Milk 'em!" :P Personally, I try to stay under the radar as much as possible. If you're looking to do the same, would it be possible to put the button IN your RA's room, so only he/she has access to it?

I was raised in the hearing world, and because of that my family thinks that nothing has changed, that I can hear and understand them on the phone, when they have their backs turned, etc. It's extremely frustrating and several years ago I started to get involved in Deaf culture, but I've still...

I definitely would NOT sleep with my door open, Deaf or hearing. That's just asking to get robbed or worse. There's a guy that lives on my hall and my roommate says when he stops by to say hi, he knocks and then tries the doorknob. :shock: I always lock my door, sleeping or otherwise, no matter...

I really think this is a non-issue. Palin was extremely busy, and with all that going on around her, you can't expect her to drop what she's doing, sit down, and have a ten-minute conversation. It's not that she "hated Deaf people." That's ridiculous. I would compare this to someone stopping...

About 500-600 I think. I was brn in Winston-Salem, NC and now live in Alabama.

Socialized medicine does seem to be the answer to our costly healthcare issue. The only beef I have with it is that with my fiance being a doctor, I would not like the government telling him that he can't practice in a certain area because there are already too many doctors, and that he HAS to...

You would think that with England's oh-so-wonderful healthcare system this lady would be taken care of for life. I guess Michael Moore's documentary had some inaccuracies, after all.

By the way - saw that you couldn't find ASLPro. It works for me if I type 'www.aslpro.com,' but certain websites won't do it for me, like my own university's website. :P Try doing a Google Search for 'ASL Pro' and clicking on that link. (And for God's sake - don't allow your name sign to...

(Speaking of composition class, I just had to write a compare and contrast paper too - it sucked! :P) I took up written (or any other type of visual) communication over verbal communication awhile back, too, and I'm SO glad I did. I am so much less stressed! I hated talking to strangers...
