Why is it always that a public greeting of my own self manage to feel like I'm on a stage with lovely bright glaring spotlights shining upon my entrance?

Never the less

I'm a fellow country boy from the yonder West trapped in the frozen waste called Minnesota that goes by the name of Nick or Nicky (for those lasses that loves to rub it into my face...) or Nickle Pickle or online name of Wolf.

I've been quite curious on where on this internet "Planet" would Deaf folks gather so I could be among my own kinds and hopefully find some that's all up for some adventures in life be it online or in person which has brought me here to this forum and I'm going to give it a whirl!

Just to make things more interesting, lets play "21 questions" related to who I am and I'll answer any of them.

I'll help you along:

Have you kissed a Dolphin before?
I sure have! Right on the lip (no picture ) and on my cheek!



Feel free to ask anything, I'm all eyes!

Hello. Do you live in Minneapolis? Are you deaf from birth?

OldeWolf

I indeed live a little bit outside of Minneapolis.

And I've been deaf since 18 months old from Scarlet fever which ironically they found the vaccine a few or so months after I had the Scarlet fever. It was the nurses that saved me after the doctor thought it was just some cold. The doctor became convinced I had something going on when he came to see the nurses dunking me into a tub of iced water while looking beet red from high fever.

Needless to say, my father was pissed off at the doctor at the time of course.

And howdy to you too, Bottesini.

OldeWolf

I would be very happy with a turbocharged HEMI engine within a Longhorn Dodge Ram truck. But then again, I would probably will have to sell my left kidney and half my liver for such a prize.

...welcome aboard. have enjoyed the pixs you have posted.

OldeWolf

I love making people think so I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Don't be afraid to ask anything. The harder the questions, the better and more interesting it would be. (At least it would be to me. )

dogmom

OldeWolfe, what is your view on the nature of time?

OldeWolf

All depends on what you wish to know. Do you want it in a scientific fashion? Do you want it in a psychological perspective? Or would you want it as an experience of growing older and realizing that we're all growing into old farts and that the old timers were right?

What would you like?

OldeWolf

Boy is this forum very "active".

*Humorous sarcasm intended*

Tousi

Well, it is/was the week-end and that's the pattern here, generally speaking....

Bottesini

Plus we are very xenophobic!

Who's ur favorite person?

OldeWolf

My father, whom has passed away about 3 months ago (already?....) and I think the world of him, his thousands of lessons engrained within me, waiting for moments and opportunities to come out and save my day.

My very last picture of him, about 1 week before he died.

Bebonang

to AllDeaf forum. I am sorry about your father passing. Both of my parents had passed away years ago. It is hard when it is time for them to pass when they get sick or get on with aging.

Question: Did you go to mainstream school (with or without ASL) or attended Deaf school?

I hope you have fun reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here.

I cannot Imagine losing either of my parents, but I know it will happen as they are both having more and more health problems and many of their friends are passing away. So sorry you had to experience this already (And everyone else who has lost someone {{{{bighugs}}}} tear). You have a friend here oldewolf. xxxx JM

OldeWolf, great pictures! I'm also sorry about your dad.
I'm an only child and my dad is elderly though physically well. But I think about this, too. for sharing pci. of your dad

When I was about 11 I went with some family friends to an aquarium in my area at that time. It was later closed for safety and other violations but like you I got to meet two dolphins who were in there. We didn't go in the water but there's a picture we have of me and a boy who was the son of my parents adult friends who came with us - the two of us kids kneeling on the ledge of the pool with the dolphins bobbing out of the water with us -similar to your photo. We put our arms around their "snout" and they "kissed " us and blew water on us and we got to feed them.

as far as time....
do you think it's circular?

Hello and I dont like coldest in Minnesota!! My deaf brother went to TVI college ( forget spell)

Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine passed away 4 years ago and sometimes it is still hard.

It's awesome though that you had such great times. What were some of the lessons he taught you?

Sorry, been away from here for a while. Had things to do out in yonder life. So here's some answers to the questions posted in here.

"If you quit now, you will quit everything else in life."
"Always keep your side of the street clean."
"Watch, listen and do it right the first time or don't do it at all."
"Be grateful for what you have for things has a tendency to get run over." (Right after he tried to run over a turkey saying he wanted a turkey for dinner)

And many many others. Might sound harsh but his lessons were all about survival and surviving this life with as full a heart as we can live with.

Based on the clock, yes.
Based on experience, yes.
Based on the universe's expanding path outward, yes.
Based on being able to go back into the past and carry all my knowledge of what I know now and give it to my younger me, Oh gawd, I wish!

I've never met your Dad, but it seems like I would learn a thing or 2 from your Dad about quitting and street cleaning.
