Some people also sign crazy with a W for wild.

The sign you are describing is EXCITED in ASL. So, it works in certian contexts. Like, DOG MINE, EXCITED (my dog is wild!!!)

Hope that helps!

Ohhhhhhhh! I knew I recognized it. Just had no idea what it meant in ASL.

Much help!

My stepmom sent me an email about a phone for the hearing impaired and I found it to be quite an interesting phone and free to acquire by sending off the proper paperwork to this company. I'll leave the link for those that want to check it out...leave some feedback here and tell me what you think.

I went with my school kids to see an interpreted Broadway performance of Annie today. It was such great fun!

I often watch YouTubes that are in ASL and enjoy them even though I don't know ASL...someday, I will and will enjoy them even more then.

Just watched this video tonight: What it's like to be Deaf. I recommend it.

Thanks for posting these videos, I watched them both. I must say I understand a lot of what was being talked about in this particular video. Now I am not deaf but I live in both hearing / deaf cultures. As I am getting older and I am losing my hearing steadily by the year. I am growing more and more frustrated in not being able to hear. It's a rude awakening for me, because a lot of what the deaf culture experiences on a daily basis I am starting to experience. I know what it's like to see closed caption for the first time, I think I saw it at a house I was baby sitting for at one point. I was a teenager, the mom was hard of hearing. But none of the TVs at my parents house had them, so the first tv I was around that did was in college due to the ADA laws for TVs to have them as of 1995. I need to learn to sign and really crack down on it because I think I am going to need it in the future.
