Post #318 is brand new- I haven't referred to Heather Marsden's article previously How pfh read about this previously- clairvoyant? Gee way back in 1998- never heard of alldeaf.com. Never believed I would use it in 2011!

The reference to schizophrenic thinking relates to whether it is- high/medium/low/fluid thinking. Another thread.

The reference to Deaf Canada is to an actual group in Canada-I am not aware if approved by the" Ontario deaf community".or not?

The difference to ME having been both hearing impaired ( over 50 years)/bilaterally deaf (almost 4 1/2 years)is silence. Seems not everybody agrees with my very direct ongoing experience of deafness. That is okay-I still maintain what I experience.

I have mentioned this fact before I knew I would become deaf for almost 15 years- since the lost in my right ear-Feb/92. I was tested for cancer /tumours of the brain etc as a possible answer to explain the lost. Didn't know when the left would "go". Did-December 20, 2006. That is the reason for reading up on deafness/Cochlear Implants and getting some info/ articles from CHS plus the attempt at Toronto night school- Intro ASL-96/97.

I know that back then the OHIP criteria for Implants is much difference than today. Sorry didn't get to excited about then- not been able to get this Cochlear Implant. It didn't exist. The model I have is only 4 years old. This applies to Ontario only-where I live I have paid no attention in what countries do in this regard- I don't live there!

This is getting to be too much. I will not be back to this thread again. Jillio, thanks for bringing this up and I have learned quite a bit. It's just turned in so many directions now, that I don't know which way I need to go.

Follow your own drummer. I stay happy that way.

I am still coming back to this thread. This thread happens to be something that i can relate with deaf culture. My mom keeps reminding me not to do the facial expression too much or i would get wrinkles. I keep telling her that I can't help it because it is part of language of my facial expression. So far I have checked myself looking into the mirror and i do see slightly wrinkles in my face. I see that wrinkles are the sign of deaf culture. Eh.

hmm, a generous increase in wrinkles definitely coincides with the past 4 years during which I've been involved with Deaf Culture ... Maybe it's not age after all, but culture that's affecting me?

This cracks me up because my mom does the SAME THING. I'm quite animated and my mom keep saying "Don't do that facial expression, you can get wrinkles!"

Once, I pretended to be a stereotypical WASP/British and gave no expressions whatsoever and guess what? She asked me "Are you okay? You look sad."

 

[Frisky Feline]

Maybe or maybe not. some hearing people and deafies thought I was like in 30's. I guess that being of this deaf culture that makes me look younger that I can't complain with having some wrinkles. So the deaf culture is a beneficial for me.

ha ha that is funny! I really like to think that i don't get wrinkles from the facial expression, but aging. hehehe

Having a British husband, I had to laugh at this. I aske him once why he never smiled in his pictures, and he said "I AM smiling, look there, you can see that smile."

Uh, that teensy, tiny, itsy-bitsy bit of corner of the mouth upturn, only visible if one uses a strong magnifying glass and has good forensic skills? Gosh, how could I miss that??

Thankfully he does smile in person. Just not in pictures. In my opinion, with my weak forensic skills and all.

Does he use funny British sayings, too? I love those.

You're a natural milf. Nothing to do with the deaf culture... Well.. Maybe.

Right here. In the first post I made on the subject of my daughter suggesting we call the Audi to fix the washer. Didn't change -- always was about that.

And, in my reply, I specifically left out the audi part and limited my comment only to a child who would also make an assumption that a beeping appliance needed a new battery. It is not out of the usual for any child in today's culture to make such a remark.

And, given the fact that very few implanted children are exposed to Deaf culture at a young age, is the remark about the audi a cultural phenomena. It is simply the result of her individual experience.

 

[jillio]

It is almost amusing- GrendelQ 's LilLi making an innocent comment would generate so many "obtuse" responses. From another thread is schizophrenic thinking?

If it had been stated that it was an innocent comment based on one child's experience, nothing more would have been said. However, it was stated that it was a result of cultural influence, and it is not. It is a singular experience combined with developmentally appropriate thinking skills.

And I again remind you to stay on topic. If you cannot relate your posts in some way to culture, do not post. I don't want to have to continue to report your off topic trolling.

An Interesting footnote. A column re: Deaf Militants- Heather Marsdan in the publication Deaf Canada Today December 1998. An extended discussion as duly above noted by GrendelQ. She used the term"angry" as descriptive of "some members". Why?

Personally unaware if Deaf Canada is a "certified group" approved by " Ontario Deaf community".
I got this at Canadian Hearing Society/Toronto - from one of many classes there.
I wasn't deaf then- just"hearing impaired" studying speechreading.

And this would pertain to Deaf culture, how?

How about "Your face is gonna freeze like that if you don't stop making that face!"

 

[jillio]

No kidding.

Why the reference to schizophrenia? Just because you don't understand our posts?

What is the "certified group" of "Deaf Canada" about?

What is the "I wasn't deaf then-just"hearing impaired" ? (I wasn't aware that deaf and hearing-impaired were TWO different things !!!! Other than the fact we don't like the "impaired" part.) :roll:

I'm actually getting angry here. We're starting to get blasted for even trying to understand/reply to Dr. Phil's posts when none of it makes any sense.

Let it go, Alley Cat. In the grand scheme of things, it means absolutely nothing.

PFH said "This shit again?" because it is always the same old nonsense with you that have virtually nothing to do with anything being discussed except to provide you with an opportunity to diss the culture and the Deaf. I agree, "This shit is getting old."
