PTSD ? What's that ?Thanks Jillio. I think I am often well understood.
I told you before my stepmother really has PTSD for standing up for me for years.

Well I'm just just now learning ASL, but I'm pretty sure I read that there is no sign for 'is' and such. So if you are speaking and signing at the same time. Would you go ahead and say is. And when you do does it mess up your signing?
Hope that doesn't sound stupid *blush*
Bott really isn't a mean spirited person. She is simply direct and sometimes misunderstood as a result.

Oh you you you silly thang! Stay here!!
No, it doesn't sound stupid at all.
I never speak and sign at the same time when using ASL. The reason is, one language is processed visually, which means that meaning is inferred spatially and through time. Spoken English is an auditory language, and meaning is inferred in a linear fashion. That means that the syntax of a visual language conveys things differently than the syntax of a spoken language. I always say that English is like describing a picture, whereas ASL is actually painting the picture. If you were going to say "The boy is climbing the tree." that syntax makes sense in a linear sense. However, in a time oriented, spatial sense, you would sign first what you would paint on the canvas: "Tree, boy, climb."
Does that help?
Yes it does a lot! Kind of like when I'm trying to translate things from Japanese into English. A lot of times when it's translated into English on paper how it was written it's backwards until I switch it into the order it should be in so other's can understand it.
Thank you so much for explaining it to me
My 'mother' has a husband that she is stringing along after 23 years of marriage and she keeps telling him that she'll come back to him but instead is acting like a 16 year old. My brother still lives at home. She doesn't care how this affects him
She also gets upset when my children spent time with their grandmother (husbands mom) ranting about how I never give her time with them. Just because I'm grown up doesn't mean she's not my mother and doesn't give her a right to jerk my stepfather and family around like she does.
If she wants to see her grandkids like she does she needs to stop acting so immaturely. There is no way I'd leave my kids with her the way she currently acts
What happened to my special request, golden padlock not cheapo steel padlock?
just wanted to get in before the
