I am deaf. My favorite number is 7. I previously owned a cat named Zazzles. I had him for 8 years but he's been living with my sister since I got married. My wife is allergic to cats. it is snowing with me. i am not working at the moment. i do not drive. I am married for a year. I met my wife at a disability support group. She's not deaf but her brother is so she was really able to understand me. She could already sign so I didn't really have to teach her anything. I can read lips as well so we have no problems communicating.
I live in Los Angeles I have a cocker spaniel dog. I prefer dogs to cats but I don't mind cats.. it is warm near me. I live near a train station. I drive a car. I love walks. Especially in nice weather after a long winter.
Oh. the life is so unconvenient without driving skills! That's true, I'm glad you have your wife to drive you around and care for you! I am very fortunate to have her to wheel me around. I'm hoping to get a job soon, so having her to drive me will make it easier to get to work. Where do you plan on working? I work in retail at a store, it isn't much but it pays the bills. Retail might be challenging for me because I might have trouble communicating because I don't always get it right when reading lips. I would love to work with deaf children as an instructor, counselor, or coach. I think you would be excellent as an instructor or counselor! I tried being a tutor for children once, but I didn't like dealing with kids. Thanks for your vote of confidence in me. Kids can be annoying sometimes, but I think I have the patience and demeanor to deal with them, and I'd love to help disadvantaged children feel better about themselves. Of course! I don't have experience with kids or want any in the future, so it was not a good job for me. What kinds of things do you think you would teach them as an instructor? I'd like to share my experiences as a deaf individual to give them strength, hope, and increased self-esteem to take on the challenges of the world. I'd love to do animal therapy with them too. I can't have a cat at home because of my wife, so if I could bring dogs and cats around the kids, I think it would make them happy along with myself. How's your cocker spaniel doing? I love how passionate you are about this and I really hope it works out! My dog is doing great, if you got a dog we could have dog dates! Thank you! If I can convince my wife to let me get a dog I just might. The weather is gorgeous lately. I'm sure you've been taking your dog out for some nice walks. I have been! My dog loves the nice weather and always wants to go outside. I could help convince your wife by bringing her over sometime too!
