We want a cool name. "Deaf Women's Book Club" has been put forth. Yawn.

We're a bunch of wimmins, mostly moms, 12 of us now, (that number will probably change but we're trying not to go over that), all of us Deaf, all of us signing (in terms of hands/ ASL emphasis rather than Deaf emphasis).

Whaddya got?

1.) Didn't know you are deaf... 'On the internet, no one knows you're a dog.' (nothing implied, that's an old New Yorker cartoon that comes to mind.) That's so damn cool, because I talk to you alomst daily.

2.) The We Don't Move Our Lips When We Read Book Club.

Seal, I'm always surprised at how many people I think of as old-timers -- like, people I've known online for a long time -- don't know. It comes up fairly often, but it doesn't come up even more often, and so there are still little pockets of "really???"

I became deaf when I was a teenager (weird fluctuating thing, up down up down weekly daily hourly for 5 years) have been profoundly deaf since. (Translation = can't hear nothin'.) Learned ASL in college, got involved in Deaf community. Now bi-lingual and bi-cultural. But because I was born hearing, have a hearing husband, etc., more part of hearing culture than Deaf culture.

Mime readers. Hmmmm.... ;-)

Well... I knew you were profound on occasion.

There's the bit of poetry... Blake, I think...

The moving finger writes...

You could be
The Moving Fingers Read.

Although that would be more for a braille reading group.

I LOVE Better than Oprah. ;-)

I don't offend too easily. I DO commence to lecture at the drop of a hat, though, so be warned...

Most people don't read and talk at the same time anyway.

colorbook, are you implying that my ideas are less than desirable?
