yes I understand that, the approach may not have been the best, but I didn't touch the child, and I tried to talk with his dad too. His dad obviously didn't see me as a threat, because he was willing to let the little guy interact with me. And at one point, thankfully, his dad was actually...

this is true... apparently just because I am Deaf means that I can't have my degrees, and that I can't have an intelligent conversation with someone... I forgot about that. thank you for reminding me of the foolish thoughts that some of our audist members have.

I have no problem communicating with the rest of the world that doesn't sign... yes it is much easier to communicate in sign, no doubt about that... but I have no problems communicating with the rest of the world. There is a pen and paper, body language. And no, I don't think it will be easier...

how was I encouraging him to disobey his father? Yes, it is good that they gave him some sign, but the fact that the little boy, who was born deaf, couldn't communicate with his parents in sign... that his dad didn't UNDERSTAND what I was asking him in sign... that is a problem. Also that they...

^^^ This... it also depends on what the definition of illiterate is

I don't think so... I don't think he would have "mimicked" my taking shoes off... his attention span was obviously not short either... because we interacted for almost half an hour... and for a 3 year old... that isn't a short attention span. Also, may of us on this forum have EXPERIENCED...

exactly sometimes she is super sweet, and gives me what I need... but then she is also a complete b*tch... a friend of mine from here recently shared this with me Issendai's Superhero Training Journal - How to keep someone with you forever and it really rings true... look at: and that...

I know I do... its just... hard.. I do love her... but the more that I accept myself as who I am rather than being a broken hearie... the harder things get. she doesn't accept that I need to have accessible communication (she thinks that talking loud and having me lipread is accessible) and I...

yeah... and he obviously saw that I couldn't hear either... I did show him my hearing aids... and told him that I didn't like mine, asked if he liked his ci... he was super interested in my aids... it was pretty darn cute! not sure if the dad liked that I was signing to his son or not... but...

yeah it was sad... this adorable little 3 year old boy... fighting with his dad because he didn't want to deal with the noise of the mall... i don't blame him...

my hearing SO does the same thing... and when I sign to her... she makes me voice too... she says my voice sounds worse when i sign, says i sound "stupid" when I sign... I've been with her for 4 years now... and sometimes... I wonder... should I stay or should I go?

yeah, the hardest thing for me... was seeing that little guy obviously not want his CI's on... and his dad constantly putting them back on him. I know what its like to be forced to live in a world that tries to make you something you aren't... and that is the world this little boy will be...

ok, so I went to the apple store last night to pick up my mac (was under warranty and getting worked on) so I walk in, and see this cute little boy, maybe 3 years old... with a flashing light on his head... he has a CI, then he turns... and he has bi-lateral CI's... I watch him for a while as I...

I embrase my deafness now. I don't mind when people see my HA's (when I'm wearing them... which isn't even close to 50% of the time any more) I don't mind when people see me sign, in public... I'm trying to go more and more voice off! the only time I really am using my voice is at work (because...

I know... I'm just too smart for you... :giggle:

thats super exciting!!!

why don't you post the link?

can you clarify a little bit of the rules... if we get the word right... do we have to have the right link too?

yeah, and I have gimp proof! its really the last set that I think was confusing... the first set could have only been one thing... unless it was a mirror image...

so do i... the numbering them was... weird... but thankfully... I have good eyes... and I'm pretty sure I figured it out!!
