thanks

Thanks!

Thanks Flyfree,

I cant go tonight (raging ear infection -yeech) but I will make plans to go next month! :cheers:
 
ok great! hope ur ear heals! :(

glad she gave you the link!! i was out all day today.. boy i got so much reading to catch up on! grrr lol

you will enjoy the deaf professional happy hour in the metro dc area.. it is on the first friday of the month.. it might be overwhelming at first.. but you will find some oralists there and so forth .. hopefully!! most of them are professionals and intelligent people..

hope you feel better girl!! :thumb:
 
Just out of curiosity, are hearies welcome at many of these deaf events?

I see that they are welcome at the DPHH events, but was wondering about other events :)

YES, hearing people are encouraged to attend. Many sign language interpreters and other hearing professionals enjoy attending DPHH as it is an opportunity to meet old and new friends and to improve signing skills. If you are not a signer, you may want to bring a friend as the DPHH environment can sometimes be overwhelming!

not very many oralists at the DC area DPHH events -- most are signers with combined ability to speak but most of them generally dont based on my observations when i have attended the DPHH events in the DC area -- theyre fun too cuz i get to meet up with the few old friends i knew from wayyyy back and catch up on some news and etc etc :)

well i have old friends who come from the similar backgrounds who live in the dc area.. they are now fluent in signing other than speaking.. meaning they do both like i do... so i am sure aiki will have no plm with that.. as she goes along.. i have always wanted to attend DPHH but never had a chance.. hope to go soon when the weather warms up.. grrr
 
I'll have to meet somebody going to an event...at least I'll have a friend there to easy my tension LOL
