    Anyone Comic fans

    I read the Sandman series and enjoyed it greatly. It's written by Neil Gaiman, and illustrated by a bunch of different people. It's an interesting epic-like tale about the God of Dreams.

    Why join alldeaf and dont post

    I find it more useful to observe what kinds of things are interesting to Deaf people. I'm not deaf, hard of hearing, nor know anyone that is either, so I feel out of place here. I think Deaf come here to find other Deaf, not more hearing people.

    Judge rejects divorce for transgender pregnant man

    So.. became a man, got married, popped out kids, now you want a divorce but the judge says the marriage was invalid in the first place, so.. What is the problem here? He doesn't want to be married to her, but it turns out the marriage isn't valid in the first place. Sounds like the problem...

    Airline 'fat tax' for heavier passengers discussed

    Whoa, baby steps there.. Maybe encourage fatter people to take on business class seating since it is pretty uncomfortable to be elbowed for hours and hours in a plane. If they're just going by weight then muscle builders would also have to pay more.

    The road to be smoke-free.

    I smoked regularly the first few months where I had started smoking. Now I only smoke a few times a year, if that. Typically a pack of cigarettes will expire long before I can even smoke half of it. It was tough to break the habit during the first few months but a number of different things...

    Homeowner Loses Insurance Policy Over Pit Bull?.. WTF

    It's not really a problem with the breed of dog but what kind of training the owner gives the dog. Bad training = bad dog Good training = happy dog Smaller dogs can be trained (or neglected) to be aggressive and awful too. Not to mention pit bulls used to be called the "nanny dog" and were...

    I need a quick help on police calls.

    I'm not sure calling the cops is the best way to deal with this if they only came by twice. Search online for your local police station's non-emergency phone number if you must. Next time, peak out the window and don't open it. Even if the police came.. the bible people will have left, or...

    Hiding Places for a Spare House Key?....

    I keep a spare house key in the car and a spare car key in the backyard. This way, a stranger who finds the key in the backyard will waste their time trying the key on my door. I suppose said stranger might steal my car, but I am home when the car is home, and my bedroom is very close to the...

    Help Regarding Professor Issue

    Maybe the student can write a rubric of how he or she thinks he or she should be graded, and then compare it to the professor's grading criteria to see if the assessment is fair. If the professor doesn't want to do this, then I guess there is always the dean. Just remember to treat the...

    Inked Interpreters

    It's too hot to wear long sleeves all the time where I live. Maybe the tattoo will limit the kinds of jobs you can aim for. Maybe consider what kind of people or jobs you would want to interpret for. Job interview? Mayor? President? Can you outshine the other non-tattooed interpreters to...

    Are hearing people supposed to be on this forum?

    I'm not trying to learn ASL only from a book, but there's no place on this forum where I can ask my really newbie questions. I don't feel welcome to ask really simple questions here because I think the expectation is that simple questions should be posted in one thread, which is practically...

    Are hearing people supposed to be on this forum?

    I don't feel that alldeaf is accomodating to hearing people learning ASL. The community is really welcoming for hard of hearing to full on deaf people and their parents and friends, but for someone like me who is hearing and has no Deaf ties, nothing about ASL is intuitive to me, and I don't...

    Need help to understand way of communication

    I think there may be a fundamental problem with your idea, in that most people who sign are also literate, therefore most prefer subtitles/captions. Or better yet, full on Deaf acting Deaf Movie: Where the Sky Ends - YouTube

    karma

    I have three different understandings of "karma" One is that actions have consequences: if you do good good stuff will happen to you in return, if you do bad..etc. On a large scale I think of this when I consider rural communities where neighbors help neighbors because everyone knows that they...
