What does the sign....two pinkie fingers touching together on and off, in front of you palms in...mean?  Cindy thought it meant "talk to yourself"  but now we are not sure.

Marci,
Hey, Cindy is right on. The sign "HERMIT" does indeed mean "talk to yourself."
A way to remember it is to think of the Signed English sign for "I" and then think of two "I's" together having a conversation.
