    a penny for your thoughts?

    I am staring at 15 VHS tapes by my ASL students and wonder how I can make them disapper and the grade roster all filled out with their score without me lifting a finger. Somebody, wave a wand!

    Just starting to date a deaf man...

    Another thing you have to remember-- it is part of many Deaf people's culture to ask prviate questions-- and it is not offensive. We will ask how many you earn even if we just meet you-- that is our bluntness and lack of privacy that enables us to be trustworthy and close to each other...

    i don't know what to title this

    Usually if I spot somebody signing-- I will ask if they are Deaf (if it is not too imposing and I got time) then I will chat a bit, then be on my way (with awareness so I don't disclose anything private if I happen to sign with somebody else in the same place). If they are only ASL students...

    Pregnancy: Reveal or Not to Reveal?

    A family member (an in-law) announced to everybody that she was pregnant at like 4 weeks. I, personally, was very shocked because I think she should wait until 3 months-- it was her first pregnancy and she is 36 years old, so I was worried that she might regret announcing if she ends up...

    For dust cars

    Art doesn't have to be forever. As long you document it, and people share, the artwork will strive. ARt is not only oil painting. Even some performances are art-- and they cannot be "stayed still" for life! Photography made it possible. The man uses cooking oil by smearing on his car...

    CI question - Please help

    I wish you will clump some ages in groups... I choose 16 because that is the youngest age I will think is allowed to make their own choice. In general, I think 16 to 18 is the youngest age group you can be allowed to go through the candidancy process (this will have the doctors deciding the...

    See / Asl

    My TWO cents I grew up with SEE (in the classroom) and ASL (outside of the classroom). SEE is too English for me, and it lacks of any Deaf culture that is a huge part of my upbringing. It is too... uptight, in my opinion-- whereas with ASL you are much freer to express your thoughts and whatnot...

    I miss Polaroid

    Having a Polaroid is nostaliga. More and more photographers are using Polaroids for art since it is very... familiar and unique. I do still have my old Polaroids camera. I love it. And you know, you can rub on your polariods (while still "fresh") in some areas to change colors a bit and...

    Deaf School vs. Mainstreaming..Pros and Cons?- Poston

    I think Mr Poston wants to show various people's educational background and whether it was/is the best method for them. What works for me won't work for everybody. I was lucky to have my educational background to be efficient and productive for me to be able to interact with hearing people and...

    What did this mean?

    ???? "White" ??? yet you said the sign stays the same throughout the movement, so it cannot be "white" it COULD be "like" but why would he move it to his chin? "Expert" is a possibilty but you do not start that sign on chest so ... hmm....

    Sweet Revenge on the Hubby

    L....O...L....! Well, the guy has no common sense. If a guy is in prison for 15 years, of course the man will prefer men after many incidents of dropped soaps... Definitely liked this joke.
