In light of the many many posts of "the biggest loser" tv shows, posts, blogs, etc, people should realize that people ignore the thin too. The extremes of fat and thin are ignored equally. Both, fat and thin, have difficulty with weight control. Have you ever seen a really skinny person...

Reba, my neighbor and I used to have a good relationship. I have helped him out such as buy him tuppperware so he can store left overs, take him and his girlfriend out with me and my girlfriend for valentine's day, take the pair to the laundromat etc etc. It was me who taught him the sign...

I did view deaf.tv for about a year to see how things go there. I watched all the intelligent vloggers leave or get banned from deaf.tv. I was sad to see all the Gally students leave too because I enjoyed their intelligent vlogs. As a result, I never truly used deafvideo.tv as a vlogger...

My not being raised in the deaf community has left me clueless to what laws protect deaf people. ADA law, definition of hate crime against deafs, etc. Should there be a sticky with listed links to laws in a specific forum?

That was a GREAT poem, you should have that published. I never had a way to tell my hearing girlfriend what it is like being deaf. I am going to have my girlfriend read that poem TODAY. You've got the whole thing perfect. Thank you, Lighthouse77. Get it published, please.

When I first read the question of this thread I thought, "What is the socially accepted form of 'native' white american culture?" As far as my experience goes, I always considered deaf people to be accepting of all races and cultures. There are only so many deaf people we can socialize with...

Recently my neighbor who once had a good relationship with me and my girlfiriend has started calling me, "puXXy," the female body part. That is the only word my neighbor knows in sign language. Is this a form of hate crime against deaf people? If it is a hate crime, what evidence do I...

I have been told that many many times. Here are some come backs that I use: I learned your language, now you learn mine. Eh, I have good and bad speech days. I am surprised I can flap my lips and wag my tongue as good as you!

Don't listen to those people telling you to be wary of meeting people online. I, myself, met my girlfriend online 7 years ago and have been with her for 5 years. Online is different because people can pretend to be something else. Hmm...I always tell people this: People can look attractive...

A date with a really hot guy. That'll get her off the computer!

I understand the situation. What species the dog is does not matter. Every species has bad apples. Just like people, dogs properly raised and socialized grow up to be good dogs. Dogs that are not raised properly are hard to break and take time. Onething I wonder about, why not de-fang...

I LOVE them! It is nice to finally be able to connect with the lyrics of songs. This was my method of listening to vocals: I would listen to music and read the lyrics at the same time. Most of the time the vocals disappeared into the blend. It is hard for me to follow the rhythm of the word...

I had my birthday recently, last month. That day made me look back on my life and think about things. One thing I never throughly understood is this: Why do people who profess their deaf pride and so on look at people who are from hearing familes differently. And why do deaf people who are...

I like music, or more specifically, LOUD music lol. I started playing the electric guitar when I was 19 years old. Why? When music format made the transfer from LP record or tape cassette to CD, the volume and sound quality was very bad and I could not hear them well enough. My solution was...

I play the electric guitar. Do I play well, many people have different opinions. If I were to label my guitar noodling, I would call it Trippy Black Metal. But then again, I can play pretty. Some people don't like my pretty playing but do like my powerchord riffing.

Anyone open to discussing and learning music theory? Music theory is one of my favorite subjects.

Hi I live in Flint, Michigan with my girlfriend. I have no deaf friends here and it has been 5 years since I have had contact with deaf people. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Oh where is the musician forum? I can't seem to find it.
