I learned where the spark plugs are in my car!
Thinking to self while mis-hearing a handful from the mechanic: “Just STFU and replace them!”
lol
I don’t think you were hated. At least not that I was aware of. But I noticed when you told a certain poster she needed a 5-gallon bucket of suave.
dang cappy, you said that?I don’t think you were hated. At least not that I was aware of. But I noticed when you told a certain poster she needed a 5-gallon bucket of suave.
when you realize that people who put you down, isn't always right nor wrong, just need to look back to think... maybe I just didnt word it right?? I see this a lot, sad really. I am just glad that sometimes you can just look away and pretend nothing happen, sometimes its harder said than done. But that is what makes life interesting, right?
Oh well.

It's not the first time nor will it be the last. I have learned to deal with people who clearly do not understand. I had to learn it myself the hard way when I was growing up. When I finally learned ASL I was accepted and finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. It was hard I ain't joking but it was well worth it.
I am not mad at them as they claim to think, I just get frustrated trying to explain over and over like a broken record. Its get tiresome! Those who did not go through what we had to go through all our life...and are late deafened, they need to kick back and listen to those who clearly understand what its like to be deaf/hoh to get a better understanding.
But obviously, those who grew up hearing... their thinking is not the same as those who are mentally and physically challenged. I don't think they would like it if those who were mentally and physically challenged ruled the world and tell "abled" people that they are broken simply because they are not the same as them, would they? They would look at us as we didn't know what we were talking about. That goes both ways, right?
Anyways... I hope those who come here with Respect and not tell us what we are and what we are not. It's not there call to make.
I simply don't tell hearing people you suck because you are not the same as us. That would be disrespectful on there hearing forum, wouldn't it?
Look we all make mistakes and try to do our best to learn from them. But to go on and on... No, that is where I step in and say what needed to be said and I said it as clearly as possible as I could. I thought I did, but apparently, they overlooked it and disregard as if it didn't matter.
What has been done is done. Moving on!
I learned asl when I was going to "oral" speech class for 3-4 years learning the ABC's and some words I was around 18 months up til I was 4-5 years old, after that I moved to another state and another school ( i was 6-7 years old at the time) learned some words but not a lot since I was forbidden to use asl in my special ed's class, I was only allowed to use my voice, I don't know why, after that I just learn a few words, then I moved to another state where then I moved again to another state where they had some deaf kids, but same thing I couldn't use ASL only voice but learned a few words, but I forgot them after I moved to another state and went to a hearing school where there were NO deaf or hoh kids, totally forgotten asl and was totally left out from my comfort zone ( hated that school ) only to realize I was failing in every class, they transfer me to another school same state but this time I went to a special ed class with deaf and hoh and there I was able to use ASL in Jr High, I was in 8th grade is where I really found my calling in ASL. Thanks to my deaf friends whom I am still friends with over 35 years, had it not been for them, I would have been totally lost. I got better in ASL when I started dating a guy named Michael who had tons of friends who knew ASL, the more I was around them, the more I learned, I was in high school at the time.
And yes I moved a lot! I went to 9 different schools.
