That mother doesn't seem too skinny herself. Maybe her son's obesity has something to do with her inability to get rid of her own? Either way, I feel really sorry for them both. :(

She/he might have ended up something like this : YouTube - Animals Love That Alcoholic Fruit :laugh2:

Huh. The reason I heard for Palin's resignation was she "didn't want to take a paycheck for doing nothing during a lame-duck session." For that, I would applaud her. But there was no mention of that reason in the article above . . . (It was word-of-mouth, but I trust whom I heard it from.)...

I have a twitter, but I don't use it anymore. I used it for about a month off and on, and then I just stopped. Just seemed kinda pointless: the only people following me were my family who I saw every day!

WHAT is UP with this website!? It's subject is Spanish translation, but it totally disses all interpreters. Whoever wrote this page (So You Want to be an Interpreter) has got to be either really ignorant, or just stupid. But wait a second . .. . . the rest of the site isn't like that...

I used to try to make my writing sound sophisticated by using complicated words, but I often mixed up the words and ended up saying something completely different from what I intended! :giggle: I still use words like "amongst" and "betwixt" 'cause they're COOL, but in general my writing is...

Ah ha! I'm looking for a CapTel, aren't I? . . . I guess ads can be useful sometimes, eh?

I won't either, since I'm back in school. I guess I'll show up on this subject again once I've got something to show for it, and dont' worry - I'll be more respectful next time.

If we got her a TTY, I sure would help her through it! :) I don't think she'd be able to figure it out on her own. So, VCO can carry over both voices at once? Can you do that without having two lines?

So, my Grandmother has recently become profound deaf in one ear, and is becoming severely deaf in the other. She has hearing aids, but they work just enough for her to be able to talk with us, and her learning ASL isn't an option, as much as I would like it to be. When she talks on the phone...

Tadaa! My period without internet went longer than I expected, but, like a fruitcake, my return was inevitable! :D Okay, responding - Quite, quite - that is, unless you follow these directions: How to Give a Man Hug That Is Not a Bear Hug | The Art of Manliness XD I find it amusing...

Thanks, everyone, for the good perspective, regardless of how uncomfortable it is. :red cheeks: And thanks for the hug, Mrs. Bucket; I needed that. :aw: You are quite perceptive, Berry. O_O I am, perhaps, too enamored with and focused on academics. (Heh heh. Just last week I was...

:) Thanks for being positive with me. I was feeling pretty down, but no longer. You make a lot of sense. I know I can never truly experience Deaf Culture as a deaf individual. That's one of the reasons I decided to try to get some answers to my questions from the "real deal" instead of...

Mine changed several times when I was younger, like it isn't supposed to. :lol: My deaf friend was very patient with me. Now it's a "p" brushed in a downward circular motion in the middle of the chest.

You've got me. I do know that, and you can see it used correctly in the document I linked to in my first post (https://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddm5246n_113hjvkvmfh). But I can offer no explanation as to why I failed to capitalize them in my posts here. I obviously haven't been typing the...

If you'll pardon my saying so, helping strangers is a character quality that ranges from person to person. I'm actually quite surprised at the response I've gotten so far. Like I said, I've been reading avidly here since last summer (half a year), but I haven't been posting so much because...

Nope. If I were supposed to go talk to deaf, I'd go talk to my friends. :P My semester is over. It's not for a term paper. Yeah, participating in an ASL club doesn't entitle us to anything, but why does it keep us from it if you want to share? All participation is entirely voluntary...

You need to get a job, so you set up an appointment and meet with a prospective employer. It just so happens that you are deaf, but that doesn't matter to her. She knows you are capable of doing your job and hires you on the spot. We all need to be able to get a job, so we can pay our...

I have an interesting position. My university has an emphasis on liberal arts, with many classes in the humanities as part of the core requirements, instead of just the standard core classes. So, if I wasn't going for a degree in Biblical Studies, I would still get a pretty "liberal"...

That really irks me. How disrespectful to just shove you off!!! Did it ever occur to them that you are a person too? I would JUMP at the chance to randomly meet a deaf person! I would rather talk to a deaf employee than a hearie anyday. :hmm:
