I posted already in other thread about SSDI and only now see there is an introduce yourself forum....silly me to jump that and dive right in posting so forgive my rudeness---it is not intentional! :)

I was born total deaf in my right ear and no one ever found out why and life was dandy with just 1 ear (heck, who needs TWO ears I always thought, one is just fine lol)

Then the other ear went kaput in 2005 and then I knew the answer to that haha---to have another ear to fall back on?

So I it is an ongoing life adjustment and I do the best I know how at the given moment but always looking to improve of course (arent we all?).

I have taken some ASL classes, but haven't been in 2 years---I should get back to that, but it gets so difficult as you get further---I truly envy those that are fluent in it---it's a language I will never master LOL

Ok, I want to keep it short because I tend to babble on and on and bore people haha...So here is my introduction and hello to everyone out there!! :)

Oh the Avatar is my best friend and light of my life Sun Conure Bruce---I got him right after i became deaf and he has been through it all with me---I call him my angel from heaven because he came to me at the right time in life! :)
 
Hi there. That's a very beautiful bird. You are lucky to have him. :)
 
Thank you! And yes, I consider myself extremely lucky to have him in my life. Every single day he puts a smile on my face no matter what! :)

Thank you smithtr...this seems like a very friendly place to come to and i'm so glad I found it!! :)

And if anybody has info on Tampa Florida Deaf meets I am curious to where they are?? And do you HAVE to know ASL to go to one??

This is why I never go out...how to communicate socially without being a burdan on other people????? :(
 
:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. Oh, my. Your Avatar of the yellow bird is very beautiful. I loves birds especially wild birds. I always have many different kind of birds in my backyard with the feeder hanging. I enjoy watching them out of my kitchen window. Someday when I pass, I hope to be a small bird like yours. :fingersx:

Have fun reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here. :wave:

Thanks so much for the welcome Bebonang....I agree with you about birds...I also want to be one after I pass (a Seagull lol) and as silly as it sounds, I actually believe that's what birds are....souls that have passed on and looking down on us still here...

They have wings just like angels...so why can't they BE angels as well?? :)

Beautiful bird you have in there!

I often visit my parents in FL.

Happy Holidays,
