nice job! my grandchildren are also sponges where ASL is concerned. They love being able to talk to Papaw whether he has his HAs in or not :-)

a poem or song signed in ASL, properly, is beautiful. much of what is out there, especially on the internet, is not ASL and confuses more than inspires. I am so-so on ASL signing songs. I have performed several as part of ASL classes. Most of the time I feel I fall short of perfection in ASL...

Happy Independence Day!! to you and yours!

Sinclair has a very good ITP. I am assuming everything you have talked about is exactly so, know that "Stephanie" is not the norm. I am sure her professors would be upset and embarrassed to hear how their student has behaved. Keep complaining. This is your education and your emotional...

I should have been more specific, sorry Douglas, this is family...parents, aunts, cousins and so on. I did say something. People choose whether to be jerks or whether to change their attitudes. It is their loss. We have chosen to not go around those family members and the get-togethers. We are...

My audiogram is in the 'quote' normal range when the TMJ is not flaring badly. When the TMJ is flaring I have more clicking, louder tinnitus, in front/behind/inside my ears hurt and feel full, it is like having a pair of sound deafening ear muffs on. I dealt with the problem for years...

Right. I knew that :-) Sometimes the threads go a different direction. My friends who have Meniere's say it is very frustrating for them.

Fingers crossed on your acceptance to Gallaudet :-) I agree, you will know what works for you.

I am with Hollykins1, I am getting the feeling this thread is turning from people who fake being D/deaf or HOH to if you are HOH you aren't deaf enough and therefore faking. My husband is absolutely not faking...being HOHw/HAs it depends entirely on the environment/situation whether he can...

My husband picked up a LifeCam VX3000 for me today. I am installed and I think this one will be fine. Not quite 2mpix, only 1.3, but much much better. Now to grab some time to meet you all on skype :-)

The one I picked up is a GearHead QuickWeb Cam. It had all of the vidchat sites listed. I did get it back out and tried to adjust some of the settings but it still looks blurry to me and I think was worse for someone viewing it. I didn't see anything about 'gain' could it be listed some other...

point taken. naturally, those receiving correct information have to be open to receiving it

I have no good advice. We have ceased going to picnics and get-togethers where we know we will encounter the "Stop signing!, it is rude!" people. We have chosen to remove ourselves from the stress. We do go to small gatherings where we know the friends and family are inclusive and supportive...

Ignorance = Misinformation and Stereotypes Correcting the information and the stereotypes promoted and the light turns on :-)

I am very novice when it comes to computer cameras. I did try to adjust it while connected with wintermagnolia, she was seeing just a blur when I started signing. Frustrating. Maybe I will unpack it and try again before buying a new one. Thanks for suggestions, I need all the help I can get :-)

Medical Sign Language - W. Joseph Garcia - ISBN 0-398-04806-1 over 700 pages, very large but very good. and the books used in the classes - Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll are good sources too The Signs of **** behavior books - James Woodward Signs for Sexuality - Maryn Minkin, Laurie...

Well, tried the cam, it will go back. Ratz. Thanks for trying to Skype with me wintermagnolia. It was great to meet you and I hope we can meet again once I get a better camera.

Thanks for the cam tips. I purchased one that had , skype, listed on the box. I set up, but go figure, on a Monday/Holiday no one was on :-) As I was setting it up I was not really thrilled with the tracking movement or how it uses light - sheesh! I looked seasoned(old) - we shall see how it...

There are several good books for Med/Tech and Legal. I will pull out some of Randy's. Do you need USBN nos.?

I know Tina and her family. They just had a fire and were being helped with a hotel room while they were trying to find a new home. They went to the fundraiser and now are both still in critical condition. The first reports said the guy stated - I got me some white people - and asked if they...
