    Have you ever tried learning foreign sign language?

    I've been out of the country several times, and this would be my second time to South America. I would be Cordoba, which is another large city in Argentina.

    ANY BODY EVER HEARD OF A HOH singer?

    I misread this title and thought it said "Anybody ever heard of a HOH SIGNER" and I was like, yes...oh, that's not what they said. Anyway, I do not sing, except on rare occasions when I'm alone in the car and then only if I have the music loud enough that I can't hear myself. I do play in the...

    Have you ever tried learning foreign sign language?

    I am considering going and living with friends this summer in Argentina and I would be learning Argentine Sign Language. I do have several years of Spanish, so that should help the ability to read the book and stuff. It could be very interesting.

    just wondering.. is it possible for a dog to favor women over men?

    Not just dogs, I know a lot of people who have parrots who prefer one person over another. Rabbits, ferrets, and cats also, but probably less than parrots and dogs.

    Fingerspelling Mistakes

    What do you do if you are fingerspelling a word and miss a letter or use the wrong one? Do you start the word over? Backtrack to the wrong letter? I mess up sometimes (being new) sometimes I hurry too much and spell my own name wrong (because I use my screen name signing on here and my real...

    I come in,look around and say "Life is good"

    Don't worry, I didn't even catch it until someone said something and I went back and re-read it.

    just wondering.. is it possible for a dog to favor women over men?

    Yes, it is possible. It may be that this dog has had limited exposure to males, or that a male in his past mistreated him (it could be just one experience). My dog was somewhat shy of men at first, especially my brother because he came home from college the first time since I got the dog and...

    I come in,look around and say "Life is good"

    I think the extra 100 is for the original price of the donkey - because he says profit. 2 x 500 = $1000 minus the $2 refund minus the original $100 ___________________ 898

    Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists

    I am Christian, not Muslim, but I also find this offensive. I went to a country that has a very high percent Muslim, and they were all amazing humans, just like me and you. I'm sure you could find bad about all religions, all cultures, but just because they are different does not mean they are...

    Interesting Movie Concept

    As far as I know, it is merely a film concept that has been proposed, not actually planned to be a film as of right now.

    Which Color...?

    Orange, just because orange is my favorite color. Can you get them to glow in the dark? My retainer glows in the dark and I love it!

    Question about people with Asperger's

    Well, I know someone very well - me! Though I have a fairly mild form, the biggest thing is not to touch without asking/warning. At least for me, someone touching me without warning is very annoying. I know that eye contact is a pretty big deal in Deaf culture, but most people on the Autism...

    Love Language • Make My Movie Michael Winter has been blind from birth, but this hasn't stopped him from having a very successful life. In fact, it's his very disability that has gained him his successes. But when he meets the deaf Kirsten his world is thrown for a loop, and he discovers...

    Deaf Swimmer Defies Odds

    Yes, because the inability to hear greatly affects your ability to swim? Aside from an accommodation for the start...why is the journalist making this out to be something spectacular? Why not just talk about her ability to swim?

    Getting Attention

    I agree that waving can get outrageous, I guess what I prefer is someone to move into my line of vision, then wave just enough to get my attention (ie. if I'm on the computer or reading a book, I might not look up when you walk into my view, but if you wave, I will). I'm not fond of someone...

    Choosing an Audiologist

    What sort of doctor would do the testing? ENT?

    Getting Attention

    I've noticed that the way people prefer others to get their attention varies from person to person, not only the person whose attention is wanted, but also the person doing the attention-getting. What do you prefer for friends/family (hearing)? What about Deaf friends/family? How would you...

    Choosing an Audiologist

    My doctor (for the CAPD) wants me to be re-tested to confirm that it isn't a hearing loss and really is CAPD. He suspects it could be a combination between the two, and wants me to go and get it checked out because it has been so long since I was tested and the tests were kind of messed up...
