Oh, that's a bummer. Did you earn a chance to communicate with him when you were socializing with him?

Yes..he got interested into me because I was into baseball...and he said that he used to play baseball and watch pros..before he lost his sight fully...he was deaf since birth.

We just swapped some baseball stories...

One of the hardest part was trying to explain some moves of baseball actions...but the assistant was a perfect help.

I ate soo much fooods from them very woww !! I told them that they should become chef or something like that ... they was laugh about that and appericate about these compliments..

258~ I didn't know that she wished to be a Native American.

I was impressed when she wanted to learn about these things on her own, by getting her teacher to tell her what she "pointed" out. Ground, Water, etc. It's awesome! :thumb:
 
I always wanted to know what is the difference between past and present education how much are they changed etc ... thats something make me curious how do D/B handles with these copes and stress and go on long list u name them .. I do know that D/B isn't much fun to go on ... It is so total tough that i ever imagine that whenever I am in their shoes... I really don't want to know ! lol
 
I wonder about that too, KW. Hmm... maybe we can do some research on that on the internet. :thumb: But remember every D/B individual have their own different opinion, right?

Sure I did...until few other deaf people in the middle and changed the topic...didn't consider that rude though.

Just something that I learned and picked up on.
