Nice! So is your daughter learning it now?

i made out with a deaf isreali girl who was in the isreali military once at a bar in the twin cities

true story...she told me she wanted to get intimate with me that night...but i had just met her, and didnt have a place to take her...otherwise i may have....

How did you know she wanted to get intimate with you, if she was deaf?

she could talk but it just sounded different...i think she was completely deaf in one ear and like 90% deaf in the other or something

i never had a girl say she wanted to get intimate with me before at a bar though

someone i had just met

Oh I see, there are a couple of famous people who are deaf and they do talk...

really? hmm I find that suprising...it happens here all the time LOL

Hope that your daughter is learning it! It is amazing how much it can help children!

We did a small amount of sign language in primary school I can remember the alphabet and a few little words, but nothing of any note.

We used to have a big group of guys come in to one bar I worked at, I got to know the sight for 'last drinks' pretty damn quick otherwise they would never leave at the end of the night!

ROFL, its hard 2 explain but a small number of deaf ppl see the hearing world as... umm... a game 2 b played with... haha :)

ATM she is 7 months old, i sign to her mainly to show that everyone in her life is gonna be signing... but things like mom, milk, eat she understands. :)

That is awesome, kids learn everything so fast.
makes me want to go learn how to sign.
Sometimes I don't like to talk and if I could just sign I may be a lot happier. I guess the other person may need to know it too, but whatever.

Very different actually, really its very easy to learn, once you get past the nervousness. it helps a lot if your instructor is deaf. by the end of aslII everyone knows how 2 have a basic convo, and more.

Why would I be nervous?? I'm naturally a big dork when it comes to things, but not nervous...I'll have to look into classes, I'm looking for something new to learn, i'm bored.

I was ALWAYS nervous in class lol.
even though i knew a lot of signs b4 i started, knew the teacher, and had a strong connection to the deaf community. Being in front of class was hell....*blush* i guess i felt that i could not make mistakes lol.

Oh...I see. yeah i dont have fear of talking to people like that, or presentations, I was always the leader in the group. LOL the main speaker.
So you have to give presentations in sign language...like on subjects or just say sentences
