i was skating a drop that is about 6 feet high and i couldn't roll out of my fall so my heel took to much impact. Definitely not fun, but like rockin robin said "no pain, no gain" its all part of the game

no pain, no gain? that's only for gym workout but for what you're doing, please don't do that. it's not worth it because as you get older, you'll be feeling it for next 40 years.... like me

my wrist. thumb. ankle. knee.

What are you talking about? I saw the reality 6 years ago when we first had problems with the school district.

"it would hurt less if you would be more receptive"

Say what? I take in everything I read. Beyond that, it would "hurt less" if the school district had a better understanding on deafness. Not just from the medical perspective, but the cultural perspective as well. That's what I've been working towards. It would "hurt less" if they followed proper procedures and protocalls, and handled their staff appropriately when they make Audist remarks.

I know the reality of the situation. I've never denied it.

Jiro

don't get too defensive. it would hurt less that way.

good. calm your feather.

Take some time off.

I'm not defensive. I'm just a bit tired of the patronization like I fell off the turnip truck yesterday.

If I didn't "get it", I wouldn't have fought thie district through compliance complaints and due process to get my son what he needed and was legally entitled to. If I didn't "get it", I would have sat back complacently for the last 6 years and let the ignorant SD run the show.

You could have just said, "good luck". My feather will be calm tomorrow.

TXgolfer

Just ignore him....he's just trolling and baiting as usual.

Thinking about, how happy I am that it is raining on a regular basis. If it keeps up perhaps the drought will end.

Jiro

yes. that's how my parents felt for decades. fortunately... one day, I had a new case manager who actually understood me because her family member is deaf. she actually got a senior staff (I think he was a Director) NJ Department of Education to personally meet me all the way from Trenton and everything was cake from there.

yes. we can share with you on how to resolve it with them. sometimes we lose, sometimes we win.

good luck. may the force be with you. it would be simply best if you don't treat every constructive post as hostile. are you forgetting that in deaf culture, we deaf people are pretty blunt? and we will apologize if we said something wrong or if you felt it was offensive. that's how it is in deaf culture.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry for those in jail. I'm sorry for those who made a veiled threat against me. I'm sorry.

I really hope your ASL skill can improve enough in short time to conversational level so that you'll understand how blunt we are in conversation and how much easier it is to converse with deafies than hearies since you do not have to walk on egg shells. This is AllDeaf. Time to put away your "hearing culture" behind and immerse yourself in deaf culture right here in AllDeaf

yes I was! because I went out to check out a new burger joint near my work. I'm rating it as 3.5/5. It's a good burger for cheap price but I'm a foodie so it's missing a few subtle things.

Looks plain to me. Do they have baby Bella mushroom and Swiss burgers?

Bottesini

Looks great! I love good food at cheap prices. Is that bacon on the sandwich?

__________________

Jiro

yep it is plain. just my usual - bacon burger w/ onion. but nope they don't have bella shroom or swiss burger. it's a simple burger joint with only 4 different burgers.

burger. burger w/ cheese. bacon burger. and .... I can't remember

Sounds like an attempt at justifying rudeness to me.... That's just my opinion Im sure you disagree so we might as well agree to disagree now rather than go on for pages. Besides blunt is one thing, unsolicited advice/criticism is another. Most of us saw what happened yesterday. My advice to the other poster was based on that. Nothing to do with any culture.

unsolicited advice/criticism is one thing you'll learn in deaf culture. we speak our minds - unsolicited or not.

what happened yesterday was a clash of cultural difference between hearing people and deafies. this is AllDeaf so yea it's pretty important for hearing people to keep in mind where they're in.

and regardless of any culture - if you do not want unsolicited advice/criticism.... simple - keep it to yourself. very simple. common sense.

That's not what I saw happen yesterday.... Obviously it is a matter of perspective so we will have to agree to disagree and let others judge for themselves as well.

Deafness and deaf culture are 2 different things. My understanding is that this is a site that deals with deafness and one need not subscribe to deaf culture to take part.

Of course you feel you have the right to put your opinion upon others regardless of the reason. That is abundantly clear and as far as I know, it's not against the rules. My post to the other poster was meant to serve as a reminder of what we learned yesterday. That's all. Carry on. No worries here.

Thinking about tonite's Game 4 of 2012 Stanley Cup Finals.. LA Kings have a huge chance to end the series for sure vs NJ Devils.. cant wait.. got some breaded chicken parts cooking in the oven plus a nice turkey wrap sandwich as well to eat during the game.. mmm.. now if only the clock would zoom fast lol..

Also thinking about some things to do on the weekend and take in some time to bike around if the weather is excellent as well...

TXgolfer

It will be a great game! Kings are really playing well. I will be at the A's v Rangers game tonight but I am in a suite with a TV so I will have my eyes going in different directions. Lol. Enjoy the game!

No you do not need to take part in deaf culture but you should be aware of where you are in here because this is a Deaf Community so feel free to find a site to your liking that deals with only deafness along with hearing value in mind. I fail to understand why would some argumentative people continue to come here. It would be logical to just leave and make their own forum and their own rules or find one to their liking. It's pretty simple.

Welcome to AllDeaf

thinking to make warm up bat...

cut 1/4 on the barrel of the bat, pour sand in then put the end cap back in (epoxy glue or high end kind of glue)

This site is to my liking. . Plus being HOH I fit the target audience as you posted. I support a person's choice to deal with deafness the best way they see fit so I am hardly argumentative. At least where deafness is concerned. The only arguments that come from me is when people try to force their beliefs about deafness on others. Seeing that this is Alldeaf I think it is unfair for some members to berate others because of the choices they make. Again just my humble opinion.

There is an easier way. Drill a hole, fill with sand and put a rubber cork with epoxy in the hole. Might use flour instead to. A bat full of sand can get too heavy and mess with muscle memory. Just a couple of thoughts.

Incorrect...my son even has several Skateboarding t-shirts saying "No Pain...No Gain"...So it's not only for the Gym....and as for telling Lucas "not to do that"...that's ridiculous....skateboarders will always do their stunts, grinds, etc., get hurt...get up and then go right back out there.....it's the LOVE for the Sport!...same as for football, boxers, what have you....My son has done it for years and still loves the sport.

Haven't played checkers in years...used to like to play Chinese Checkers too....

IEP meeting went relatively well. New Sp Ed director who seems receptive so that was encouraging.
