    post office cuts saturday

    But UPS and FedEx don't deliver on Saturdays, do they? I think too many businesses depend on mail so they have to be open all weekdays.

    So many questions- Please help!

    Once he has his doctors visit they will set you up with tons of info. Lots of deaf schools and some other places offer ASL classes for all age ranges :) Don't worry about sign names yet, that'll come later. The most important thing you can do is breathe -- I know it seems like a huge deal now...

    post office cuts saturday

    Thought this would happen a long time ago. Seems silly to deliver packages and keep post offices open though, they'd save a lot more money if they shut down Saturday completely.

    Deaf Culture Norms

    I think interruptions are complicated whether its a hearing group or signing group. In hearing groups, it's usually accepted if the interupter is of a higher rank. For instance, if you and a buddy are talking at work and your boss comes up, that would not be rude. However if all people are...

    My Unitron Quantum E's

    Your audi will be able to turn down those high frequencies. When I first got my aids I couldn't unload the dishwasher with them on because putting silverware in the drawer was like stabbing myself in the ear. It was the most hideous, loud screech I'd ever heard. I took two forks with me to...

    Different signs for same word depending on Deaf/English/location

    I'm not fluent either, but if you come across any signs and want to know how they're signed in Mass, I can probably help you out. In general, if Lifeprint has a variation with a letter handshape and one without, the one without is more 'proper' but I can tell you that the Deaf community in my...

    Valentine's Day

    I usually don't celebrate much. This year we had a trip to Florida we just got back from, 2 birthdays last week and one more before V-day. Maybe we'll go out to dinner or something, but it's just too busy.

    Getting interpreters

    I hate being forceful; it's not my strong suit. I was thinking about sending the following email in response to his 'there won't be a terp unless the band brings one' -- do you think it's ok? Hi Aaron, I'd like to formally request a terp please, under section III of the ADA: Title III...

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    Ah yes, I'm thinking of phones that have aps and go on the internet and all that jazz. Right now my exchange daughter (from Germany) is checking facebook on her phone. I have one that makes phone calls but I almost never use it because, well, I can't hear it hahahaha!

    Carved Shell Silicone Ear Molds..better for severe to profound.

    Looks really cool. My skeletons move when I chew, I might ask my audi about those next time.

    Carved Shell Silicone Ear Molds..better for severe to profound.

    I thought it sounded like skeleton molds too but I think it's that the outside looks like a full shell but the inside is carved thinner so that it doesn't contact as much. Sounds interesting.

    How many languages did you attempt to learn?

    I spoke and understood some German when I lived there when young. In high school I took 4 years of French. I can no longer understand spoken French but I can still speak some. I'm working on my ASL and maintaining my spoken English.

    Getting interpreters

    I haven't the foggiest idea how one goes about contacting a huge band and asking. I tried twitter, we'll see how that goes :) This is a total PITA.

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    Took my aids out, put them on desk in front of me and it looked like water in the tube. I look more closely and it's glitter. How? WHAT?? Um, seriously, do my aids go clubbing while I sleep?

    What are you thinking about? Part VI

    I'm trying to get interpreters for New Kids concerts. I'm not ashamed either but I am getting frustrated.

    Which way do you sign numbers 21 through 29?

    I do 22 with v's but the rest with L's (except the funny ones).
