take classes together I had a friend losing her hearing but neither of us knew sign! Now, before she's lost her hearing, we use it in loud places where we can't hear each other! You should take classes with him. Also he should be willing to improve his diction. You could always pull...

What happened to happy / sad sticker faces? Maybe she read that kids could be encouraged through sticker faces.... and she thought it said "sticky feces"

Old School I just fired up the old Nintendo version :-) Does anyone remember the Atari Lynx hand held? That had a very nice version on it. http://www.digiserve.com/eescape/atari/lynx/Ninja-Gaiden.html

Barios Barios is the mexican word for "neighborhood". When Mexicans move to the USA (legally or illegally), they often move into predominantly mexican neighborhoods so that their barber, dentist, or future spouse, will speak Spanish to them. They never learn English and can never leave...

third time's the charm ASL is my THIRD language

Asl ASL does not use the articles "a" "an" or "the" nor does it use "to be" verbs. If you want something translated you'd need to do it a sentence or phrase at a time. Try www.lifeprint.com to find out more. -John

mocking? If anyone is mocking it's someone who doesn't understand that ANY message can be found by highlighting letters in strings of text. You could go through the Satanic verses and find loving words from Jesus.

The code John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Finding a job I've been too busy looking for work... but do eventually want to find a nice friendly ASL chat group so that I can practice and learn. Where should I check out next? You can email me direct at john[at]citycafe.com -John

Communication between deaf and hearing I think one issue we must all speak of more is the introduction of SEE, oralism, and banning ASL. I found out about those things while learning ASL. I think it's horrible that any deaf person would be denied ASL, forced to speak, or made to learn a...

Hearing people Hearing people know little of deaf culture because the Deaf do not communicate it. How can they be jealous of something they don't know? They are not calling you disabled to be mean. They see you are unABLE to hear.. so they say DISabled. Get over it... it's just a word...

Hardliners Sometimes I meet deaf people who want to be "left alone" by the hearing. Yet they want every benefit that comes form tax dollars. When people say "CI can be paid for" they forget it is tax money from everyone, hearing or deaf that is used. I don't know if the CI and big...

Train noises I never go "woo woo" I say "clang clang" :fart: :boink:

home town wow I live in Austin.. I'll have to check the local papers

Hubble conspiracy Hmm, Mars is closer than ever and the hubble breaks down months before. yes the government is hiding something -John

Proud Mexican I'm Mexican, I was born that way, but I'm not "proud" of it. How you can you be proud of something you had no control over? I'm proud to know ASL that took effort!

Deaf pride I don't think "deaf pride" is an appropriate subject for this situation. That makes it's seem like it's 100% choice with no risk. Being proud of deaf culture is not the only reason to not get CI. Your daughter may be too young to understand being "proud" of being deaf...

Video cost video is a HUGE cost over voice or TTY relay. Plus you'd need ASL interpreters not just text to voice interpreters which is also more money. Maybe just get all of your friend to get video chat and teach them ASL! -John

the choice being 10 years old she may not be able to weigh the choice, and think only that "mom can hear with CI, but won't get one". While she doesn't understand now, that doesn't mean she can't understand. She will talk to you when she calms down, or you'll have to write her a message...

more dogs In the humor section of the deaf dog site, it mentions that often hearing dogs begin to learn the signs too.... and respond MORE to the signs than the oral commands!
