I don't think the issue (in this situation) is with Galludet or U.S. policies, it's that Canada has reduced the aid students can apply for so that they just go to school in Manitoba with interpreters. I've known students (domestic and foreign) that have worked for schools to offset the costs...

You must be a blast at parties.

Have you guys seen his manifesto? So much ignorance and hate, it's so sad. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/20/dylann-roof-manifesto-charleston-shooting_n_7627788.html

My family's going to get together for dinner at my Dad's house.

I think my initial questions were too general/vast. Let me try to rephrase. I've seen posts about feeling excluded, having to communicate in time consuming ways, etc. So if you were having an actual conversation with a friend or family member, what are the most common/important things you...

I agree, it's just a matter of time at this point.

I really hope so, because this bill is almost useless on its own. I'm also a little curious about what went on behind closed doors to get it through. When it looked like Deal wasn't going to pass it, Peake apparently tried to do some sketchy things.

I live in Georgia and one of my best friends works at the Capitol. So I'm excited this first step has been taken, but there's still so much more that needs to be done. There are also two bills that have been introduced by Representative Thompson (one for actual medical marijuana and one for...

I was more interested in words and phrases for actual conversations. For example, my boyfriend is learning sign language to communicate with my sister so he learned how to talk about our family and art first.

I was gonna say hot but it only got up to 95 here. 105 and 109? That's crazy!

I wonder what happened for those laws to be made in the first place.

I haven't heard that one before (SODA is used as sibling around here) but I like it!

I'm learning already! Most of the people I've met have used/understood it, so perhaps it's more of a regional term? It's also a flair on reddit, if that means anything to anybody :)

If you're Deaf/Hoh, what signs do you wish all hearies knew? What do you think they should learn first? If you're hearing, what signs did you learn first? What do you wish you had learned first? What do you use (or need to use) the most? In other words: if you could only teach/learn a few...

Thank you! :wave: I'm hearing and proudly wear the CODA/SODA title (there's an age gap between me and Sandy, so sometimes we have to specify that I'm her sister, not child)

Feel free to bring it to their attention a little more assertively. Try "say that again" or "repeat that last part" instead of asking what they said. If they still brush it off, say something like, "I would like to be included in the conversation so please say that again." It's frustrating to...

Our main business is manufacturing cotton candy and popcorn products. We're in the process of getting a new website because our current one is outdated, but you can check us out at www.sakida.com. I also help some of our customers with product and business development. I'm in Georgia.

Yeah, it's a heart.

I'm thinking about how wonderful my air conditioning feels. My boyfriend and I went to see his Grandma for a few days and it was 80 degrees inside!

I was born in Florida but I consider myself from Georgia because I've lived here since I was five.
