I am a bit confused. Lassie syndrome?
A friend of mine taught me how to "read" a little ASL, so I
could understand her and her friends when they talked in ASL.
She also read lips. I always say out loud what I am seeing
signed, to make sure I got it right (she would read my lips
to see if I was getting her drift *smile*). I sign very little
but reciting her signs out loud made it much easier to understand
her as I don't sign. As a hearie I find it just helps me to
communicate better. Love to all...

Another special note to all who have written to me about my last
post:
I haven't been able to reach some of you (mail bounces), but I want
you all to know that I really appreciate the help and enthusiasm.
I'm slowly working on getting my life back in order. It's hard,
but I want you all to know that you are helping a lot. Love you!
