Doesn't your friend have access to the internet? There are all kind of resources available if she wants to learn ASL. We learned using Bill Vicars Lifeprint website (Free). He also has lessons that can be installed on a cell phone. We also use Signing Savvy both on the computer and our cell...

Don't want to be their equals. Don't want to drop down to that level.

Yes, but only when I forget to put on clothes before going out.

Whether you're deaf/Deaf/hearing, if stopped by the police, the best thing to do is to sit calmly with both hands on the steering wheel until they walk up and indicate they want you to do something such as roll down the window or give them your license and registration. It's not good to be...

Boda?

It was a surprise to me the first time it happened. Asked the waiter about it after the bill arrived. I've never noticed any notices posted informing customers of the charge, but I haven't looked for any. They might be there.

Some San Francisco businesses have elected to impose a surcharge (i.e. an extra fee or cost) on the goods or services they sell to customers to cover, in whole or in part, the expense of complying with the Health Care Security Ordinance. Employers impose such surcharges at their discretion...

San Francisco has allowed a restaurant surcharge for health care for employees for about 5 years. Not getting into the discussion of good or bad. Just saying such a surcharge isn't new just because of ObamaCare.

There is a version for Android.

Same goes for you.

YAY! A survey to complete! We've never been asked to do that before! You're a student doing "research" and you can't do a little research on the forum to find out about asking us to do a survey?

How did they determine it was the caffeine and not something else in coffee? Would someone consuming the amount of caffeinated soda or tea to match six cups of coffee have the same improvement? What is "significantly lowered" mean? Interesting article lacking in details.

The best time to start is now. Now is much better than later. The degree of hearing loss makes no difference as to when you should start.

While Bebonang gets disgusted about it, learning ASL online can be done and my opinion is that Vicars site is the best out then and it's free. I do think it's a lot harder to learn it from text books. While I agree with Bebonang that's it's better to take live classes, and best from a Deaf...

I know the difference. I was asking Bebonang how she (don't recall the proper gender) conveys the difference to someone when telling them what she wants to be called.

What if you're both an ASL user and oral deaf? One can be both. I wasn't making any assertion about percentages. Some d/Deaf are not offended by it's usage and if you're using it to describe yourself then, in my opinion, no one should be offended.

Not to hijack the thread, but the comment that using "hearing impaired" is offensive is just an opinion. There are people who don't find it offensive and use the term to describe their hearing ability or lack thereof. Just because someone says it's offensive in an online forum doesn't mean it...

You can't always tell how much a person suffers even if they seem to have so much going for them. We lose too many people famous or not. So sad no matter who they are.

There are a lot of apps that will allow you to upload files from a phone to the cloud and/or your computer. It doesn't have to be to youTube.

Some would say no because it's not following the so called "cultural rule" that a name sign has to be given by a Deaf person. You would have to decide whether or not that "rule" has to be followed. If you do then you give them your name sign. K8. I happen to think you can have any name...
