    How do you peel an entire head of garlic?

    I put the cloves in a glass jar with the lid on and shake like crazy for a few seconds and the skins come off in the jar. That's the easiest way I know about.

    German Sign Language

    Check out http://www.spreadthesign.com/us/ It has about a dozen sign languages including German. There are also free iPhone and Android apps. It's very interesting to see the different signs for each country.

    Bicycle Thread for those who travel by bicycle

    Bicycle thread...not motorcycles! I think there's a thread for motorcycles. Shouldn't you be posting there?

    So lonely..

    Start your own ASL Meetup group! It just takes someone to get it started. My group is up to 239 members now. There is a cost for the organizer, but it was worth it to me.

    Question about sign names

    Seems like most with curly hair have the same general curly hair sign.

    Is it part of deaf discrimination?

    The biggest complaint I hear from all my children about job interviews is that they very rarely hear back from anybody after the interview. It's very frustrating especially if they were told they would hear something from somebody. Unless there's further interest from the company, it's seems to...

    As long as it's in good condition that's what I've always done.

    How to fix jammed garbage disposal

    Thanks for the additional pics. Wow, it is a vent for the drain. I couldn't tell it was a double sink from the initial pic, but now understand the location of the vent in relation to the drain pipes. Cool to learn something new even if I never see one like it again.

    How to fix jammed garbage disposal

    Now I'm even more curious than I was when I first looked at the photo. Having looked at hundreds of kitchen sink set ups, I had never seen anything like that so-called vent pipe. Of course, I've only looked at sinks in my area. It looks like venting of some sort but for the drain? Are you...

    Who's up for an interview? Help me out :(

    After attending a number of Deaf socials and chatting together an ASL 3 student asked me last night if he could interview me. Now that's how you go about earning the right to ask someone for an interview!

    How to fix jammed garbage disposal

    If you buy the same brand you should be able to just twist off the old one and then just twist on the new one if you don't want to change out the fitting on the sink. It's pretty easy to do. The discharge hose sure has a lot of fittings on it. I prefer a solid hose run from the disposal to...

    Had a f****** close call

    Now who is exaggerating? Really "a car on a motorcycle" almost crushed you. What were you doing when this almost happened?

    Deaf man attacked by police...

    I always wonder how accurate media reports are about an incident. There are so many details left out and sometimes you wonder about the potential of bias by the reporter in trying to make it look a certain way. It seems to me that you just don't pull your arm/hand away from a police offer if...

    Legally Deaf Professional Federal Agents/Firefighters/Police Officers?

    The definition of legal blindness was developed to help people receive government assistance. Also, as you can imagine, the department of motor vehicles (DMV) has to have some way of measuring vision in order to keep our roads and highways safe. Unlike the condition of being legally blind, there...

    Deaf or Hearing-impaired

    The ability to laugh when others might take offense makes life a lot easier. A sense of humor is a wonderful trait. It's too bad so many are humor impaired!

    Deaf or Hearing-impaired

    I'm not sure about voting as I think there's two parts to the question. I don't care what anybody calls me, but I agree with Bottesini here. If I tell someone I'm Deaf, they think I can't hear anything or speak. Hard of hearing is usually what people associate with really old people and they...

    Ellen Page

    Looking forward to the time when this kind of announcement isn't news because it's no longer a big deal what sexuality a person says they are.

    Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham debate (ASL)

    That's not what evolution is about. It's not about something happening all of a sudden, but evolving over time. That's why it's called "evolution." Anyway, it's interesting you question how "at some point a fully developed human being popped out of a monkey's vagina" while believing...

    Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham debate (ASL)

    "Archaeologists announced Friday that they have discovered human footprints in England that are between 800,000 and 1 million years old — the most ancient found outside Africa, and the earliest evidence of human life in northern Europe."
