I've posted some things in the past, but since this has come up again, I thought I'd add some more...

1. I have been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old. Now, at 32, I have to wear bifocals.

2. I am double jointed. I can bend my knees and elbows backwards-a doctor that I once worked with thought I had a connective tissue disorder.

3. I went to school with the actor Edward Norton.

4. I can say the alphabet in 4 languages-English, French, Greek and American Sign Language.

5. I swam competitively when I was a child, and was ranked one of the best swimmers in Maryland.

6. Last year, I was on a genealogy website for our family and found a cousin my father didn't know he had.

7. I am fascinated with the Civil War, especially the battle at Gettysburg.

8. I believe in ghosts.

9. I am allergic to ginger.

10. I still have my childhood teddybear, Teddy, in my bedroom.

Wow! Christy Now THAT'S Impressive.


Way To Go!
Actually, it's kinda useless, considering I can only carry a conversation in English! As for the Greek alphabet, well pledging a sorority had one good outcome, I guess.

Christy - then you will have no problem communicating with me if you know the alphabet in ASL

THats great that you are interested in learning ASL Angela - I am profoundly deaf and its always nice to meet people who can sign. I am fluent in both ASL and NZSL.
Sometimes I forget and revert back to NZSL while signing to americans and they get confused.


This is really interesting.

That would be cool! But the alphabet is the only thing I know, except for the sign for bread (my college roommate taught herself the Lord's Prayer in sign language) and "You crazy devil".

My mother taught at the Maryland School for the Deaf for several years. She wasn't deaf herself, but she became very good friends with her sign teacher, who was. It was kind of hard not to pick it up.

That's so sad Kellye
, I'm glad you are still able to hear all the voices of TCS'ers


If it's not a rude question. How does your little boy cope with a deaf Mummy?

Sam.

Sam, dont be sad - I live life to the fullest as much as I can - I can do anything except hear - thats the motto of a lot of deaf people.

My little lad is great, he can sign and talk and my family is great with support. My hubby is deaf and I know a lot of deaf people who have children and they cope really well, its amazing, some even become interpreters etc.
Deaf people have a culture of their own, really, and its quite fascinating. I have this great little book and one day I will have to post in here some aspects of it - a friend is borrowing it, but when I get it back, I will post, so you guys can get a heads up.
