I have never had weird requests from trick or treaters but then again where I live in Australia, we don't celebrate Hallowe'en very much.. To the TPBM: what is your favourite season? (Winter, autum, spring, summer).

Sorry to ruin the TPBM line but I have met someone with the same birth date as me (day, month and year).

Thank you for your words of encouragement! I appreciate it :) :) I will try to post updates! :)

I have been learning it on and off over the last two years. However, I have dedicated more time to AUSLAN in the last 3 months. I still have quite a ways to go. It's hard when there is no one to practice with.

One of my pet peeves is when people say "Are you really hearing impaired? You speak so well for someone who has hearing loss". If I had a dollar for every time someone has said that to me, I would be well off. Another pet peeve is when all people see is my disability and they can not get past...
