It isn't specific to the dDeaf circle per se, but it's for a deaf friend :)Do you know where I might find a kit to make colored hands with - not a print but where you make a handshape, dip it in wax, and eventually color itI don't know if you could find these in the likes of Michael's or if the stuff is too complicated for a home environment. I know I've done it before in a group of some kind but I don't recall where. :( I'm in Canada...http://community.livejournal.com/deaf/795201.html SoReal Cru- July 29, 2008 Just curious..I was watching an old episode of "America's best dance crew" and a dancer from SoReal Cru said he's deaf.. and I am being very suspicious.. He talks. and He signs "I love you" on the T.V.

It should be done by next week =Which leads me to this:I wear hearing aids. The past few summers, I've been very lucky to avoid swimmer's ear. But obviously the more you are in the in the water, the more water is just sitting in my ears, with no way to evaporateescape, but now that we will have our own pool, I'll obviously be in the pool much more. How can I avoid getting another infection I cannot function without my hearing aids.

It's a science-fiction fan convention held in the Minneapolis (MN) area over the 4th of July weekend every year. This year, for the first time, they had volunteer interpreters available! I got to see (and understand) Opening Ceremonies for the first time, and really enjoyed it. They were also available to interpret discussion panels throughout the weekend, which was great. They made it possible for me to really enjoy the panels, which are my main reason.http://community.livejournal.com/deaf/793020.html Old terms timeline- July 1, 2008 Does anybody know a timeline for when various terms for deaf people were en vogueThe reason I ask: I just bought a Three Stooges DVD. In "Pop Goes The Easel", the boys are trying to con a cop that's been chasing them. Moe starts with some mock French. Larry mocks some other language (the captions don't say what, but he 'looks' Arabic in the disguise).He then turns to Curly, who starts doing his usual gestures. The cop says, 'Ah, deaf and dumb.' To which Curly says 'Certainly!' (Soitenly!)My...http://community.livejournal.com/deaf/792378.html |
