Hearing folks are just the same way: we are all, well, human. Thank you FriskyFeline. (by the way I love cats. I have two and they rule our home; and talk about spoiled, oh boy my cats are like bratty children who love to be scratched and be the center of attention. Between you and me, cats are...

...that if ever post anything that might seem offensive to the Deaf I want each of you to know that it is NEVER my intent to hurt/disrespect anyone on this forum. I am growing in my understanding of Deaf culture so please do not take any of my statements as a shot at you personally. Kindly...

I learned that being a writer I must NEVER walk out the without paper and pen because you just do not know when the creative juices start to flow and a good idea blooms out from nowhere. Thank goodness for paper napkins.

Then wrong I am. I stand corrected. Thank you Bottesini.

Everyone knows the name Beethoven so that's why I should, or maybe not, use his example. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, absolutely! Yet for the sake of the rest allowing those assholes to blur the perception of the good natured folks will greatly influence (to a lesser/greater point IMO) this old conflict between the two sides, mending the hurt on each end...again, to a point. Agree/Disagree?

Telling someone something and educating something about the truth are two different things IMO. Emotional responses might work (from your experience) on some, but in some cases (I would think) such a reaction can work in the reverse. I'm not anyone to tell another what to say or do, never. So...

For the truth and not for anything else. Besides I HATE abuse.

In another thread I said that if a fellow hearie was to say something wrong or hurtful about the Deaf that I would retort with anger. I am reversing my answer. Instead of anger, I'll educate such ones with kindness. I will say something like this to such ones: "Did you know that even when...

I am connecting a laptop to my wireless router. Ooh the excitement is so overwhelming! :giggle:

I live in South Florida (Miami) so the weather is always good.

Years ago I created a thread just like this one and got many, and I mean many, replies. This time around I am only asking what ONE thing bothers you most about how hearies treat you. That's the only difference. Also, this thread might be helpful for all hearies on this board...I would...

It's not a question but a comment by bone head hearies. When a fellow hearie say Deaf and Dumb: it just eats me up inside!! I just want to stangle them until their heads fall off their shoulders. I always tell those who say that junk that Deaf people are a trillion times smarter than he/she can...

...about hearing folks? Remember name just ONE. I know that there are several: Just post ONE characteristic. :mad:

There is good chance that I will upgrade to 8, maybe.

My view if anyone is interested: when life gives you a headache do not ALLOW yourself to feel down about it. I know nothing of what the Deaf have to endure in this hearie world, but I know that if you let things get to you then they will. Follow the Serenity Prayer for its words are on the...

...simple, just by listening to my problem and telling me your angle.

Life has been treating me good lately and today is no different: I am feeling quite calm and happy so far today. Thanks for asking. Funny thing is that I saw 3 pregnant women as I walked about today. There is saying that says that if you see the same 3 things in any given day that it carries...

I am single! This afternoon a very pretty young woman approached me and we got to talking and I asked her out; she said yes! Let's see what transpires. Yes! What does Ricky Ricardo love? He loves Lucy: get my drift? I love her/it also, very much!! ;-)

I adore novels that deal with time travel! In fact such stories are my very favorite type of tales.
