ME SIGN GOOD NOW....NOT *smile*

Class tonight was great! I'm catching on more and more. Soon I'll be able to hold an actual conversations

This Friday there is a Deaf Java gathering that a few of us are going to. That should help a lot. I don't get to practice my sign during the week. Tabitha, my cat, doesn't understand it when I talk to her in ASL. Also next Saturday the Deaf Club is having a picnic that a group of us are going to. There are about six of us that meet an hour before class to sign and study. It's great. I'm really making some great friends that will be going through the interpreter program along with me.

We are supposed to be practicing our fingerspelling. My fingers just don't want to go that fast. I do try to spell street names as I come up on them when I'm driving. I guess I should just spell everything for a while to get my fingers working. My teacher was fingerspelling double lettered words, ie. attic, Timmy, noodle and I was lost. She told us though she was going at break neck speeds just to test us. That's okay as long as she doesn't do that on an exam.

Holiday weekend coming up. I keep forgetting about it. I have to work but that's not new. My days off are Tuesdays and Thursdays. I wonder if there will be a lot of relay calls or if I'll get lots of reading time in. Last weekend was slow. It was kind of nice.

I'm beginning to ramble so I'm gonna go watch TV and fingerspell everything I see.

    My cats probably wouldn't understand sign language--they'd probably just try to beat my flickering hands. They do, however, understand me when I go into my strange Lola language :)

    Well as long as that understand..that's the important part. Communication is the foundation of all relationships.

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
