That is creepy, all the more reason to keep using cash. Eek! Hopefully the capital one card that's got my name one it from my school won't cause me problems.

It's 20 (F) here. Sure beats the -50 we had on Monday!

Liam Neeson is hardcore.

*shrug* it happens. :P BUT THE TROLLS LIVE IN THE CAVES, NOT BATS. D8

Before I started learning ASL, I'd have Deaf people come into my work place( I worked in a gas station at the time) and write things down on paper, which wasn't terrible. However, these individuals had VERY bad handwriting. It made the transaction even more confusing and we both got...

I'd call that "weird" or "intriguing" not "cute". Bats do get kinda cute as they get older. Did you find that near your place?

Gack! no! When the high is 0, I barely go outside, much less ride a bike out there. Props to anyone who does though, takes a tough person to handle being out in the winter weather here.

Welcome to the forum!

I'm thankful my laptop is old and my webcam plugs in. Hacking into an unplugged, disconnected webcam is the same as hacking into a hairbrush. Useless activity.

TC(Twin Cities) has a Deaf Elementary school, deaf churches, Deaf clubs. Faribualt has the state Deaf school. I don't think a week goes by without my bumping into a Deaf customer at work. There's a lot of Deaf in this area. There's also a fair amount of ASL students, like myself, who sign like...

So, basically, learning ASL is like walking through a minefield? Step on a mine, use the wrong sign and get blown up at? :P I see what you’re saying though. Makes sense. Confusing, but it makes sense. :)

... I watched the video. Appears to me that he's signing "Deaf, letter, arrive, conversation" over and over. O_o I am only in ASL3 and I can do a better job than that! C'mon, Africa, get with it.

HEY, LAY OFF THE CAFFEINE, WOULD YOU? Might give yourself a heart attack if you don't quit. =P Sign like a two year old, huh? so, you onl know "mom" "dad" and "cookie"?:giggle: Welcome to the forum, I'm new too. I'm Becky, hearing, been singing for almost 2 years( hoping to become...

If I get a decent webcam for Christmas, I'm down with it. I too, am in Minnesota. Forget skype, let's find a McDonald's somewhere close to all of us, get some crappy coffee and just sign away at each other. :P

Hey, you piggybacked my thread! Shame on you! XP MAKE YOUR OWN, WOMAN. (I honestly don't care. XP) My basic understanding is that a name-sign is bestowed upon you based on a physical attribute or something you do, such as a sway of the hips, constant hair flipping and whatnot. So, say your name...

Egad, he told me it was the other way around, that proper ASL was to fingerspell juice while the j sign was English. Hahah! *lets head drop to desk and lets out a heavy sigh* Thanks for the info. Now I know! (Still not signing juice in class... I don't want to get yelled at...)

Yup yup. But what makes an individual SIGN English? I mean, how is the sign for "tan"(or any of those other ones with letter shapes) ASL but "Juice" with a j at the mouth is English? That's the part that isn't making any sense to me. O_o Maybe my professor is just odd...

Does making people laugh nervously count? >=3 I tend to make people laugh, whether it be a bad joke, my sarcasm, quoting song lyrics at people or making bizarre faces when encountering something disgusting; people laugh at me. And it's totally ok. I dig the giggles.

I’m having problems differentiating “English” signs from ones that are “Pure ASL”. As a student, I’m not seeing much difference between the two and my linguistics professor is confusing on the issue. (He’s Deaf.) According to him, “Juice” signed with a “j” twisting at the mouth is “English” but...

Hahah! Good. :) Thanks for the welcome, you guys.
