Especially if it's blackberry cobbler.
I am in search of apple cider that has not been pasteurized. Pasteurization has totally ruined Apple Cider for me.
what happned to the cobbler?
I went to a restaurant near my place that has a patio outside. In ASL only, no voice, I asked for a menu, ordered my meal, asked for a glass of water, for the salt and pepper, some cocktail drink, asked for my bill and it went really well! The waiter and the busboy were very sweet and courteous and behaved as if my using ASL was perfectly normal. No discomfort or awkwardness at all. The people sitting at the other tables didn't blink or stare. It was a great experience.
sunny_signs said:I'm a voice-off girl. Never used it. I find that signing with a non signer can be as easy to understand as you want it to be. I slow down with non signers, which helps. Lots of signs are the natural or intuitive sign anyway. Hearies often understand the concept, if not every sign. I really amp up the facial expressions with non signers too. I've seldom had issues with being understood (but let me qualify that by saying the non signers have wanted to understand. With non signers who are ambivalent, comprehension goes way down).
RockinRobin, my mom says I am a very noisy signer. I try not to be when I remember, mostly I forget.
