In hindisght--I don't think I would've gotten in trouble with the firm. If the guy decided to press charges, I would've done the same thing.

Afterall what he did is known as ethnic intimidation.

Yeah, You probably would have found a loop hole somewhere.

He first of all.. Violated your privacy, Second of all you asked him to leave several times. Third of all felt threaten by him. Due to he would not leave you alone!!

I would have done the same. And if I ever come across something like that.... You would be the first person I call. Cost and all!

At first we were a little miffed because we were having a private conversation as well as that we didn't know this particular individual.

Found out that he was hearing and......he was an audiologist.

This audiologist had the audacity to tell the both of us that we need to have a cochlear implant!

I said, "If it's so great, why don't you get one?"

He said, "Well I'm hearing and I know what's best for you."

My friend told him that we were not interested and to please leave us alone as we were having a meeting.

The audiologist stood there and started to tell us that by having an cochlear implant--our economics would be great, we would hear, speak better, etc.

I looked at him and said, "Do you know what we do for a living? First of all--I am a lawyer and my friend here is a MSW for a non-profit agency. Oh by the way--we get paid more than what an audiologist would make."

Well he didn't like that answer and proceeded to tell me that I was a dumbass and proceeded to throw water on me.

I then stood up and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor.

He then slowly looked up at me and said, "Oh shit!" (

)

I then said in my loudest voice for the entire cafe to hear, "Now you listen to me you little MF! We said we're not interested, you're being rude, and if you don't leave immediately, we are going to kick your ass out of here. Do I make myself clear?"

I let him down and he turned away and ran out of the cafe.

I have never seen anyone run that fast!

Nice one!

Well I would've loved for him to have called the police on me to file charges so that I can turn around and file charges against him as well--especially the ethnic intimidation law.

The reasoning is that we had a debate about the ethnic intimidation law and does that really include the Deaf community?

I say "yes". I am saying "yes" because we have our own language, culture, etc, etc., regardless of our color and beliefs.

Hearing people say "no", because deafness is a disability and therefore does not fall into the realm of ethnic intimidation.

What do YOU think?

I agree... Since the Deafies have their own culture, and it is recognized. He probably could have been sued for discrimination.

It would be like telling a person of color, to bleach their skin.

I feel the same too. I am sure they wouldnt like it if someone came up to them and told them what is good or not good for them too.

I dont listen to those hearing people.
Hearing people who say that are very ignorant. They arent the ones living with deafness. They cant dictate how we define our way of living.

just realised why SC mentioned about my hair -- she saw my latest blog on youtube.

Yesterday, I went to see a Ophthalmology. My vision is 20/20 of my both eyes. My eyes are fine.

Hubby and I went to Wal-mart last night. We bought some gifts for our daughter's birthday. Today is our daughter's birthday. Now, She is 14 years old. I can't beleive that she is growing up so fast. I am getting old.

**Bottesini** · 05-05-2009, 03:20 PM

Today is Cinco de Mayo. We went with both our daughters and our two granddaughters to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch.

I been sick all day with a temperature between 100 to 102 degrees and nothing seems to "kicking it". Plus my neck on the left side is swollen.

I was told that I had an ear infection but something isn't right because my ear would be draining and it isn't.

I have never been this miserable!
