Welcome! How old is your son?

Yea I hope it is an easy fix too. I just bought a new pick up truck so the monthly payments are making my budget a little tight right now and last thing I need is problems with the SUV. GRRR

Welcome and congrats on your new baby girl! Also, HUGE applause for willing to learn ASL for your daughter so she will have a head start on language development and hit those milestones. Yes, continue with the ASL classes and start going to Deaf events. Yes, there will be bumps as you both go...

He took my SUV to the shop. That was the orginal plan until my SUV started acting up two days ago. AT least it is really nice out and not freezing.

Thats the key...I lost 21 lbs just from reducing the sugars in my daily diet ...it was like the weight just melted away even though I had been working out for years with no success. Once I changed my eating...bam! Success! Amazing ...sugars really make poeple obese.

Finally a Sat morning of relaxing but soon will take my son to his baseball practice. I want to stay home and stay on the computer ....*groan* I am so exhausted from being busy.

First you provided data that supports the oral only philosophy and now you are say you are friends with Deaf people who use ASL? Really? Yes I have met Deaf adults who want their deaf kids develop speech skills but they have also valued ASL in their children's lives. Never heard of Deaf adults...

Spend time in the Deaf community and meet those who graduated from Deaf schools and those who were mainstreamed and learned ASL and the Deaf community later on...not just oral deaf kids only. You seem to on only research instead of real people only. That's why you are spreading misinformation...

And have you ever met any Deaf adults who graduated from Deaf schools? Judging from your posts, I dont think so.

I was mainstreamed and I missed out on a lot. I had no idea what was being said in the classroom 90% of the time. People who do these studies dont know crap what really goes on in deaf children's lives day in and day out in the hearing world without ASL or the Deaf community. It SUCKS !

The more time the students spend in gen ed the more likely to have age appropriate language and reading? How when spoken language is not fully accessible to them? Wild claims. I have known many deaf people who grew up going to Deaf schools who can read and write just fine. Pls dont spread false...

I dont dwell on trying to be hearing. I am deaf and I am part of the Deaf world. I work in the hearing world and just make the best of it. In other words, I am happy being deaf. Growing up, I wasted so much time wishing I was hearing.

Several of my friends were friends with him.

Happy Birthday!!!

thinking about how McDonald's should put Ronald McDonald in hiding;

Sitting here wishing today was Saturday, not Sunday.

enjoy Denver, @LoveBlue and good morning @Mieke

You are mistaken..a deaf child has a RIGHT to FULL ACCESS to language and spoken English isnt fully accessible to us like it is to hearing people. I have a CI and yes I hear better than my hearing aids but I still dont have FULL access to English like I do with ASL. That's called a human right...

Sitting on the computer FBing and ADing with a cup of coffee...so happy to be relaxing in the morning for once!

My brother's work, FSDB will be closed all week due to damages.
