If there are ASL classes tailored for Deaf (instead of teaching basic words like "baby", "mother", etc) with lessons of syntax, grammar rules, proper non-manual markers (facial expressions) along with some deaf behavioral norms (flashing lights, "whispering" in signs), will you sign up? There...

... well you have to realize that not every English word does have an ASL equivalent-- just like there is no Spanish word for "you are welcome" but only "de nada" which literally means "for nothing"... hope you understand what I am saying?? There are TRANSLATION, but no direct translation for...

I knew Bear and it was a shock to me to find out that he had taken his own life. He was this amazing guy who was very easygoing and he LOVVEEED volkswagens (yay!). It is such a sorrow to lose a rare gem like Bear... He had so much of life to share and it just hurts me that not everybody else...

--For Deaf people Only-- (since we already established that hearing people have been taken ASL classes) Have you ever taken up an ASL class? Why or WHY NOT? If you think about it, the hearing people have been taken ENGLISH classes even though they already know the language?! Why...

85% of all grocery stores mentioned here-- NEVER HEARD OF IT. I shop at Trader Joe's (YES BABY!) with rare stopovers at Henrys (or known as "WildOats" in most states) or Vons. in Southern California we got Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons, Smart&Final, Walmart (no Super, BAD BAD BAD!), Costco, and...

What about "East Market" and "DuPont Circle"?? I heard DuPont is pretty expensive, but what about East Market? DuPont, I have been told, is a lot similar to San Diego's Hillcrest (which is the area I LOVE). East Market, I have been told, is very diverse (ethnic food, etc) and a mellow area.

Hmm. I just happened to pop by as well. I decided to convert my nightstand (which is in my living room, not bedroom) to a bed for my cat with the bottom drawer being stuffed with blankets and all... so he can lay down and be petted without sitting on my lap while I am on computer. Smart, huh?

Just to clear a couple things here-- I am not going to have kids in DC. Sorry, once you are a Californian, you gotta breed Californians. ;-) So don't fret about school systems My main concerns are crimes (gun, murders, etc-- robbery can really happen anywhere in my opinion), access to metro...

Foregin stamps are cool, but EU countries now got a BLAH-BORED stamp-- just stars in a circle with the country's abbr in middle. So deafchalker, you will just get a "F" with stars around it. WHEE! Take pictures of Paris instead of your passport! *** As for me, I have owned a passport since I...

My family in Finland is Lutheran and everybody in my family has their confirmation, usually around age of 16 to celebrate the transition from being a child to an adult. I think my brother and I are the only ones in the family that don't have any confirmation since we are in America. I did...

I am asking those who have lived in D.C. for advice and recommendations. I am moving there at end of this summer so I am researching on where to live in D.C. My husband and I will like to live in DC if possible but we won't mind using metro (we will also have our own cars) So far...

Where does your mother work? In cities like LA, NYC, and Washington DC, there are a large population of Deaf people so the local hospitals do see a good number of deaf patients-- unlike a remote hospital in middle of nowhere in Idaho. Think the big picture. "How can a community learn to...

I will work on V-Day. I think I will get some candies from my students-- I betcha. I did get some candies from them for the winter holidays, so I suspect they will do something similar. THey are so lovable! As for my hub and I-- we probably will just curl up in front of the fireplace and...

With the senstivity set at high, I was not out to prod people about having a CI implant. I was drawing up an observation and will like to have some insights shared as well. So forget about trying to argue with me. I am not seeking a fight. This forum is, after all, a place of thoughts to be...

With more and more people turning to CIs-- and many of them have different reasons. So I wonder-- what is YOUR expectation out of having a CI implant? You will be able to listen and understand your favorite song that you barely can hear wiht your HA's? You just want to able to hear your...

"(Midwest does get earthquakes and this baffles many geologists, and led to a discussion of a hidden hotspot... that's ANOTHER thread so I am not gonna threadjack!)" from the post above yours. Your answer has been given before you asked your question. :-)

One of my away messages basically sums up the reason why I like to use odd words: "I try to be a sesquipedalian to create dubiety for those esurient people who wish to perform a diktat on my intelligence." My favorite odd word of all time are "ennui" and "enigma"

Anywhere where you see tall and rocky mountains-- you know this area gets earthquakes. If you are in a FLAT, i mean FLAT, area-- you don't get earthquakes. (Midwest does get earthquakes and this baffles many geologists, and led to a discussion of a hidden hotspot... that's ANOTHER thread so I am...

*Threadjacking* (in Catalan, "homes" mean men... food for thought.) ========== As for the unwanted interpretation-- if a person ALREADY spoke-- the damage's done and I will give that person some lecture *and if that person is certificated, i will put her/him on my unwanted list and...
