Ha! Yes. I believe Tini Pel in Canada has a phrase L.I.F.E.....maybe
Tini can tell us what it means? smile....something like "Such is
life!"...

Yes. SignPuddle is great! And I would love your help with re-doing the
signs in the ASL dictionary in SignMaker...if you really mean it,
Adam...write to me privately and I will tell you what we need...

MEANWHILE...regarding your excellent ASL definitions...as you know they
are in SignBank. Your name is mentioned on this web page:

http://www.SignBank.org/downloads
(scroll to the bottom)

and I have linked your name to your web page....smile....

I never got all of your definitions into SignBank, Adam...but in time I
will. Please see attached. It is an example of one of the many layouts
in SignBank that use your definitions...they are in SignBank Portal 2
(attached), and SignBank Editor Layout 5 & 6 (coming next)...
