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??

Medical Attention Need…

Medical attention is not what you thinking. I am here to tell you what I been seeing for this moment. When I was on call and notice that Medical Assistance was uncomfortable with any languages. Wait a minute, how does anyone who is speaking as Spanish or Arabic language? Medical attention needed.

Many times, they asked anyone to bring interpreter from family. Whoa! Except someone in family can to interpreting for their parents or kids with medical attention? Time out! You know, there is translators services around the town or state have the agency to come to interpreting for anyone who need medical attention.

Sigh. Why can’t you just call the service? Fear of billing? Fear of languages? Fear of what? How does that happens here?

Not want any excuses….

Railroad in our way.

Know some areas has railroads in world but this is only one I knew for long time is Alabama and cannot forget. I have friend who lives in Illinois does have railroad in small town that I can remember my old time in hometown. You know some are not safety because of no railroad crossing signs. Mostly does have the signs.

Let’s go back to my old time at my granny’s street that does not have RR crossing sign but has rails across street. I always get to watch it when it passed us. No sounds….of course I am DEAF but feel vibration when close to it. It always come on daytime shift and nighttime shift. Yes, there was night time shift because I can see flashing on train that comes passing us. We always sit beside of hill from railroad tracks. Sometimes, I and my cousins ran across the rail to play the court near. My dad was once kid and saw friend kills without warning. He lives same place I grew up in. One of my cousins told me, he saw his friend kills by train, too. I can’t imagine how they ended up killed. When I was become as adult and learned that couple of my friends who had accident by train and survived. There was no signs or no warning.

I lived in Texas and when I first moved to my own apartment in my early 20s. I had seen trains and always enjoyed watch them while parking and waiting for railroad crossing ends. Other time while waiting and other vehicle beside me, we all counted all cars and laughed together.

Not often seen since till moved to Missouri and Illinois across border was interesting because of hourly changed and not see them. We all can see the RR Crossing signs along the rails across. I rode on train (BUS/SUBWAY) in town like Oregon or Missouri with friends or myself. I never think would ride in Texas myself because habit rode on bus with friends.

Now I am back to my home state, Alabama. When I was kid, lived in City and there is almost no railroads around but when I moved back and live in small town. Guess what? There is lot of trains and tracks. People HATE to waiting for railroads crossing ends because it would stops at middle of street!!!! I been there and had to drive around back to another street to crossing the rails. That was so crazy! Each time, I looked at time when trains comes and stops then I would go back way street to go work. It happens at 3pm and told me that they finally moved in about an hour or so! I have to pay attention the time and which street go to without stopping middle of street. Oh yeah, I have met one of railroads has no warning sign! That made me nervous because my friends who had accidents that does not have warn signs on railroad crossing. Keep look both sides before crossing the tracks.

Always listen and watch out for trains!

Well, I think all those times are impossible to write here. No way, I need to destroy things that blocks me from working and writing. Yes I had issues but pretty sure I will be back in few weeks or a month. I am on writer’s block vacation!
