Deaf depend kind or chat kind

Just notices that people getting along thinks that deafies tends to depends instead of chat kind.

Okay, for example. One lady who is deaf and can speak but she always depend on person who signs and that person is not right person to be depend on. Person is worker and just chatting with. That is depending kind.

Other example. Interpreter chats with me like normal people chatting. We chatted like anything related to subjects like normal….laughter or gossip. Of course ladies loves to gossip. Lol. Anyway, when we go to restaurant and ordering meal….guess what I did? I depend on interpreter, not my note or speak. That is depending kind again.

One person saw me when I was trying make communication with salesman. The person comes to me and try to understand what I trying to tell salesman. Salesman get busy and that person escapes from me. That person do knowledgeable about deafies needed and likely depends. That hurts!

How we can make it easy for interpreter or person who work with you? Depending like Must Have. Chatting like normal people chatting. I know lot people likely to help out but sometimes feel like depend for some reason.

How can you help with that? Talking and helping. Talking and escapes. Helping and escapes. All those things to think about.

Does we accept the bow?

Bow? Not that ribbon bow. I am talking about stand and bow to the audition. Okay, back to stage and how everyone does the respect? Theater stage, you know actors stand and bow for their applauded. Everyone does that at each theaters, music or dance. Bow and bow. I not mean that lady who bows lot from Sounds of the Music. LOL

Okay, how everyone does the respect on deaf people? Oh my dear! Today, just had lady bow to me like Asian! Whoa! I am not Asian or we, deaf does not requires for them to bow. Twice or Third bows, I would stop her for that kind of respect. Whoo, serious need to know that we does not do that front of people. We always tend to say, “Thank you” in sign language or use the Thumbs ups. Wow!

Let’s me show you that sign and might you would notice that often.

Thank you.

Oh we do nod for welcome or being funny to make a bow like stage. LOL Deaf has funny expression with that bow then not take that serious. WINKS! I always nod my head or hand on my chest like pledge to the flag for welcome.

Anything add to bow?

Need Rosetta Stone for sign language?

I know this is odd title for Sign Language beginner. I would smile for while because many people always said Language is so beautiful. You agree? Someone just told us that Farsi Language is so beautiful…..Yeah that is also Persian Language in Indo-European. Can we understand it….No we don’t learn from them, yet. You might learn to speak their language that is fine.

Rosetta Stone has many languages you can learn from that. Can be French, German, Italian or Spanish? Sign Language? I don’t think so because it requires the hands, not voice. Oh we have to write the language but not sign. Sign Language is movement and expression.

You know there is history of people who used sign language in past of 1800s! Yeah, before 1800s. Look at Indians tribes use the signs. Baseball teams use the signs. Basketball teams use the signs. Football and Hockey so further. People has home sign, too. I have been learned to use the home signs the way before ASL (American Sign Language) come in my life.

Baby signs. I don’t use the baby signs but did use the home signs like this.

Drink.

Eat.

Home or House.

Those signs are very simple for general people as common like back in 1800s. I know it sounds no excuse but FACTS.

Drive.

See those signs are very simple. That is not hard to talk to deaf person. If Deaf wanted to make communication then should get sign language class. Smiles.

Hope you find this easier.

Pilates social?

Funny way to say this pilates socializing?

As young adult, been working regularly and go home daily. Never think would be in social with friends or family. Living alone and bad habits. When old frame come to me and took me away from home to bowling where all deaf players there. I was so thrilled and thankful that he took me away from home to meet deafies.

Next thing, become bowlers and social with friends and team. Yes, seeing my family over weekends. Then moved to another apartment with roomies. Learned how to get drunk! No, not stupid but very knowledgeable about socializing with those people. I handle it very well and starting to lost social again when moved to new town because have to start new people and social are differently.

For example having ladies craft night or deaf club having social events that I never had before. As older adult, moved again in new place…..had part time job and take care of family. I barely had socializing habits and take myself faced lot of new faces and looking for social that fits me. Pilates had good social I need. One problem is communication each others are hard and frustrating with those people.

New project for me.

Care for anyone? You?

You know lot of people does care about you and others but others does not care or do themselves. Do themselves? Okay, let me give you example. Sometimes those people cares about themselves and prefers do themselves instead of letting them take care of you. Yeah, That! Those people prefers do themselves and think can be not care about? I met one person that I would take care of her but she refused take my care so she do it herself…. is that care of? or not take care? I am sure I would cares among people when needed. Many times, successes but few took away my cares.

I hate to see them suggestion with something and willing to help them but rejected my cares. Well, that is not nice but never know they need my help with care. Who knows. Few hours later, they would ask me for help then it is CARE thing to do. Smiles. You know I sometimes stubborn do it myself and yes I admitted. I would like them to take care of me when I need them. Most of time I did on my own but sometimes has suggestion so would ask them to help.

You are not alone! LOL

Got messaged then nothing

You know you get messaged but come out nothing. Cannot change the message back to where you should be done. It seems to me when you get messaged then do it as much you can, right?

Some people got the messaged then take their time before do it by whenever time is over. They should had do something little by little than doing nothing till their time nearly. It make that harder. Right? I not see any easy in my life. I would be take my time then get done before it getting mess for me. I don’t think I would should do that.

Other people got it done after messaged. I am sure alike them because I like to done before waste the time. If that happens then it will be easy for everyone in the time instead of waiting. Right?

Many times, I got the messaged along with workers then some will do it and other will take the time before do it. It make everyone put conflict on the time where it should be or what it should be. If everyone get it then do it so everyone would be satisfaction, right?

If that happens to you then what do you would do? Waiting or Do it?

Know their technical? Or not?

Met few people who know how to use the texting. Aware about it but one day, make a conversation and they would say, “Not know how to make a conversation on texts.” Whoa! How does they know about technical with device? How they did along with texting each other all the time? What did they think of us? Dumb and Mute?

Bullshit!!!! Pardon my French. I not know why they told me that, not make any sense. They has no common sense PERIOD. Sorry, I have to say that because all of us have smartphone, cellphone or device whatever you name yours. We all always on texting, or chatting on video then why they said, “Can’t talk.” “Can’t do that.” “Not know how.”

Well, at first I laughed and I thought they are joking…..few minutes later, realized they are serious. What a DUMB they are! How does that happening? Those people has stupidest excuse ever I seen!

Whew! There.

Show up as sick to work.

She come in as sick but felt fine. Then others come back to work from their 14 days quarantine and more people comes does not take test or not sick becomes positive tested. More people just get back to work then restart with another 14 days! More upset for people who does not tested positive or not sick but forced to stay home. More sick people stubborn come to work as sick but felt fine.

Just felt fine is not good idea, if you are sick then stay home period. It is insane spreading next to you and you not know. Sick people know better! People caused it spreading no matter what! Wore mask or not. Stay distance or not. Wash hands or not.

COVID19 is very specifically concerned about the report increases worse. Seriously who knows how to use the right path and keep that common.

Why can’t you?

Family Christmas Picture

Know you would think of Mills Studio but it is not that. Causal family Christmas picture with background and no specific details about how alike as Mills Studio.

When I arrived there and had my dad introduced me with lady who is his music director. She speak straight to me and understood her. My dad replied that to me. I already speak to her before him. He was like “okay she understands you.” After couples pictures of us, same lady speak straight to me and understood her. I spoke to her before my dad replied. My dad was like “oh she understands you.” Again.

Okay, that is insane for him to interpreting if I understand them. I think all of them thinking differently than you think I won’t understand the lip reading?

Can you?

Language in reference.

I was been looking around and find this interesting. Okay, many times I was told Sign Language was in Reference and I just realized that Sign Language is ALSO in Language Section!

Yes, Sign Language is language for the deaf and HOH (Hard of Hearing) alike Spanish language or French language. Sign Language is language for the reference to all families who have deaf kids or late bloomed deaf.

Darn, that is hard to say because I believe that sign language is language itself but it keep change them to the reference. Now all colleges and universities already have sign language section to teaching lesson. There is credit class in high school that teaches sign language alike spanish or french languages in high schools.

Had asked few friends of mine that question. Is this sign language in Reference or Language Section? They answered back. Both.

What about you??
