That's great! I miss the deaf community I used to be involved with. My sister was engaged to a deaf man, but they ended up splitting up. Their methods of getting attention when in a private place are so interesting. I wish more people had real time with deaf people!
I think one of my favourite classes was one where we needed to communicate something to the class but couldn't use sign, speech or write. we could only use gestures to make ourselves understood. it was very difficult.
Yes, we are still planning on it! I have a few plans for that day but nothing too big, hopefully. (:
I'm probably not doing this. No time whatsoever. Maybe next time.
Someone should make a sign up thread for this readathon, it's not very easy for new members to find.

is there any way the rest of us can help!
Just let me know!
Thanks so much! You are wonderful! :DI may need some help tonight but I'm not so sure yet! It's great to know I have helpers though! (:
let's start sign up thread and reading list thread.
Yes, I will do that right after school. (: I have a few other things I need to open up on here so ill take care of it! (:
Thanks, Mandiann! :DOkay, so I have to set up reading list, sign up thread, and chat room for people who do not have Yahoo. Is there anything else anyone would like to add? (: I am open to any suggestions!
is anyone around or is anyone interested in a read-a-thon during New year's?
what day? I have plans for new years eve but could probably do one either the 30 or 1 st.
Hmmmm...I'm pretty open... :) either day!
oh! I could prob do this one this time! I'm off work both days! Yay!! :D
I am actually doing a 24 hour readathon on Sunday! Would that work for anyone?
Sunday wouldn't work for me, I have church Sunday morning. Sorry. :(
Jacquelyn wrote: "I am actually doing a 24 hour readathon on Sunday! Would that work for anyone?"works for me!!! Do we start at 12:00 am on Sunday thru 11:59 pm on Sunday?
I'd love to do a marathon! Jan. 1 works fine for me, but I'm open if that day isn't good for others.

Yeah maybe after it lets out. Can't during the night though, don't want to get called out falling asleep in the middle of the service! lol!!! :D
I can only do Sun! What should we do? I do not want anyone to be left out!
Hmmmm....the 1st sounds like it works good.for at least a few of us.......
I can't do the 1st but if it works for everyone else I can set it up for you guys!
Sunday is fine. I'll just come in late! :D
So I think we are just wondering whether to do the 29th or the 1st!
Well if it is possible I would prefer and can only do the 29th! So Trisha & Kathy, this is good for you, right?
Vicki, is this date okay?
Yay! I'm in for the 29th. :D and definitely, the readathon can be a 12 hour or 18 hour or optional hour - etc, right? Can we pick our "readathon" hour amount? Do you mind, Jacquelyn?
Well I am doing a 24 hour one but you guys can definitely pick an hour amount and I will set up the retardation for that amount of time instead of 24! Do you want 12 or 18?
OMG This Kindle Fire changes my words and I forget to read it over. Wow! Sorry! It meant to say readathon! LOL!
well, I plan to try for the 24 hour tooI just thought maybe others might want to specify a shorter time :)
Sounds good to me! I'm just so glad to be able to join this time! Yay!! :D
I should be okay to join in on the 29th for most of the 24 hours.
Okay, so are we set on the 29th? For anyone not planning on the 24 hours, how long would you like me to make the readathon?
Okay, I was thinking about this. I think I am just going to keep it as a 24 hour readathon and if you want to participate but can only do 12 or 18 hours (or whatever is good for you) then when you are posting your time zone include the duration of time you will be doing! This way no one will get confused. Does this sound good?
That sounds good, Jacquelyn!! I am so excited, I can't wait!!!
yay! I'm so excited we're doing this again!!:D
Me too Trisha!! It feels like forever since our last readathon!
awesome! glad you guys are all on board! once I get onto my computer I will set up all the threads! so excited!
I am on my computer now and am about to set them up! :D Woohoo! I am so excited! I love readathons!
Me too! Thanks Jacquelyn!! :D I have been wanting to do a 24 hr. readathon for awhile!
No problem! Me too! :D
I'll probably be able to join after all. I injured my right leg 2 days ago, so my trip has been canceled :(

Is it really bad? :( I hope you feel better!
Thx hon. I have a cast on and it doesn't hurt much now. So that's a good sign, I guess :) Besides, now that I literally cannot go anywhere, it gives me time to read *trying to look at the bright side* :D
