    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    I am wondering if Ksnurse2012 and BeckiGreen are related. Also thinking about the fact that I was never able to figure out what Botti meant here http://www.alldeaf.com/general-chat/77477-your-ad-name-why-5.html#post2282119 (She stumps me sometimes. It's one of the things I like about her.)

    It seemed voluntary - he said "time to take break from here" or something like that before he stopped posting.

    Man fired for using forklift to move vending machine

    Awesome. I think this guy should meet the woman who left her boss on the side of the road.

    and another newbie!!

    Hi Meliaa - I know what you mean about swearing vs language skills. I actually think it applies to written language as well. It's like, if you're about to say ":wave::wave::wave::wave:ing" - well, you know, without the guys waving, and you stop and ask yourself, "what do I really mean"...

    No, he's right. $0.75 or 75 cents, but not .75 cents. Technically, .75 cent would be less than a a penny (1 cent) since .75<1.

    Does it help to think of 25 as a quarter, like the 25 cent coin? So 4 gives you a dollar:100?

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    So you knew you were doing it before: Pissing people off, kind of on purpose - or at least by compulsion - and making stuff up (!?) Fine, you have the right if you want, but there are consequences. I'm not talking about vengeful ones, just natural consequences. If you want to act like that...

    What are you doing right now?

    Websters recognizes housemate too. More specific, although probably used less: Housemate - Definition for English-Language Learners from Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary

    Hospital fails - Deaf man suffered

    Responding to the part I bolded: remember that ASL is not in English. They overlap in places, like when you fingerspell, but much of ASL is very different from English - it's not just a non-straightforward version of it: it's a different language. I agree that there are hearing people who...

    Hospital fails - Deaf man suffered

    I know plenty of Deaf people whose English is really sketchy. They'll put sentences together, in an email or text message, that can lead to lots of misunderstandings. Or they can easily misunderstand something written to them. Not all Deaf people, obviously. But enough that I think good...

    Hospital fails - Deaf man suffered

    Not all of them. And some have a limited working knowledge of English, limited enough that relying on it in a life-or-death setting could be dangerous.

    When you became independent, how did you feel?

    Is there any sort of procedure, something that Alex would take seriously, maybe a petition, to request someone's removal?

    sign language interpreter job

    Maybe there's some confusion from the way the Educational Interpreting Proficiency Assessment is sometimes used. At the Deaf school local to me (well, there are two, but only one uses ASL) hearing employees have to pass a proficiency exam. (I'm not sure what Deaf employees have to do, so I'll...

    School Snow Day Mean No Meals For Some Kids

    Sometimes. If the parent made bad choices, manage their money badly, is irresponsible, etc. But if bad things happen that they can't control, and if that leads to circumstances that are more than they can manage, then that's not their fault. But, it looks like you and I will just have to...

    School Snow Day Mean No Meals For Some Kids

    I agree that if there are unnecessary expenses, those should be given up: food should be a first priority, and you're right, it can be bread and peanut butter. But for people who are already living without luxuries etc., and still can't make ends meet, they should get some help. You said they...
