    problem with vp-100, and techies around?

    i dropped my internet connection for a bit...and recently had it reconnected. all the hardware was left intact, just the service was interrupted. when service restored, they gave me a new username. This screwed up my router. i know router username and internet usename need to match, so i went...

    am i really supposed to??

    this may sound shitty, and i myself have a problem with this....but you should tell your friend if he wants to communicate with the hearing people, he needs to do it himself, not through you. thats not to say, you just leave him hanging and let him figure it out for himself, but i have no doubt...

    am i really supposed to??

    its basically a no win situation for you. I live my life straddling the mix company of deaf and hearing, and it always ends in hurt feelings somewhere. your there to socialize, not to interpret. wether you want to interpret or not, its up to you. filtering information tho is not your job, as...

    ASL Question

    to answer your question.... you're perfectly fine using a book, while signs do change over time, old signs are not outright omitted...that is there is no notification sent out to every singer saying "this is the new sign for this". and the entire language will not change anytime soon...

    Wife School

    lemme clear something up.... that video clip is from a comedy central show called "the man show". the whole point of the show is self-indulgence for men. before every commercial break they show women jumping on trampolines. the hosts sit in a recliner and drink beer throughout the show, and...

    Stereotypes of the deaf and hard of hearing

    my mom was a career waitress, so i make sure to tip well. but i understand the arguement on both side, for people who dont believe in tipping. the worker gets paid an hourly rate, if its not enjough they should find another job...but if they did that then we wouldn't have any waiters/waitresses...

    video showing just how beautiful ASL can be

    friend of mine forewarded me this link.....when i first saw this video i sat there with my jaw open, as did my friend. the video isn't captioned, so non-signers might be a bit lost, but the video is VERY visual, so you will still be kept up on whats happening. if you can hear and...

    Stereotypes of the deaf and hard of hearing

    ima hearie, and one sterotype i see that hasn't been mentioned, is people say deaf people don't tip well. stereotypes in general are bogus, but they are a part of society, so all we can do is try not to stereotype others.

    Was Jesus Gay?

    this thread makes me giggle. i guess its not hard to believe jesus was asexual, when you believe he was concieved without sexual interaction. thats one huge giant chasm of faith you gotta jump over there.

    A few questions for interpreters

    ive pretended to be deaf several times. sometimes when i would go out with my deaf friend to a bar or club, and we'd meet girls, they would focus on me and completely leave him out of the conversation. nevermind the fact that they can write back and forth. so it got to the point where i would be...

    A few questions for interpreters

    i think he just worded his post poorly. he sounds similar to me, my friends are deaf. when i am out socializing with them, hearing voices of people talking to me messes with my head. When im in "sign mode" things are different in the way i percieve them, so when i hear a voice, it kinda...
