Am I a thicko or what??

Really annoying me when people set this rules..

Deaf people who use BSL no matter how deaf they are.. no matter hearing aid or CI..

• CANNOT lipread at all..
• CANNOT hear at all..  They must be complete deaf
• CANNOT speak at all..

Deaf people who dont use BSL.. no matter how deaf they are.. no matter hearing aid or CI..

• CAN lipread
• CAN hear something
• CAN speak something

This really annoying me...

• They get shock and jump off their seat when they ask me if I sign at home with my family. I said only a little, I talk all the time.
• They get shock and jump off their seat when I response to their questions when I am not looking at them.
• They PANIC when I dont bring my interpreter for one to one or even two to one meetings.
• They get shock and jump off their seat when I stop signing too much and start use my speech more. (Especially when I not at work)

They need to learn that EVERY deaf people.. no matter how deaf they are.. no matter if wear hearing aids or CI or none at all.. ARE different.
Not one deaf person are the same.

GeoTagged, [N52.97975, E1.25799]

I had interesting day, met 7 different hearing dogs today. We were having our photograph taken for Hearing Dogs at Staffordshire University.
A group of Uni students were doing a project of making a DVD advert of how hearing dogs change deaf person life and to raise awareness
A long day it was!

Spring!

Spring is here I think!
Because the wood we go walking in the mornings before work at school is so noisy with all those birds! Urgh! Where the nice quiet wood have gone???

Snow! Snow!

How much more can we take it? It has been snowing since Christmas!!

Could hear the crunchy of the snow as I walk along on the path. Strange noise it was, never heard it before! I tried tread careful but no different - it still make lots of noises.

Petrified sound!!

Here I am, sitting in the living room..
Children in bed..
James out Asda, shopping..

Nice and quiet.. ahhh bless!! I catching up Facebook and emails.

Suddenly..

very loud noise.. what was that??
It sound like glass fall off the table..

Have we got burglar in the house??

I went to investigate..

UPSTAIRS.. stupid cat.... playing with marble!!!

That scared me to death!
