Why have you fast-forward your signing for?

It ruins the whole perspective of this video.

@AlexNorthampton sorry for the fast forward video-- had to do since youtube had limit video time.

Also, I still haven't gone to that other video you told me you wanted me to see but I will. I just got tied up, but I didn't forget. :)

Wow, you're really good at this. Your replies did make me feel better. Thank you! You would be a good psychologist.

I just started captioning my videos recently (I should have been doing it already but have not). It's fairly easy to do because of the way I edit, though (Windows Movie Maker). I tend to work with very small video clips, which I have to label anyway. Then I can just cut and paste to make the captions for each clip in the video.

But then, my last vid is all music. Then what?

So sorry if it brought back a lot of old memories... I know how touchy it can be... take a deep breath sweetie-- she will always look above you with her glowly smile wishing you could see her for once. She never meant to hurt you that I'm sure of.

HUGS

Ahhh okay :) I'm glad you felt very comfortable watching my vlog. (Sometimes I wish I had program that recognize sign language and speak outloud so hearing people will be able to understand... wouldn't that be nice?!?) I'm VERY sorry to hear about 2nd suicide, it's never easy. HUGS

This suicide brought back a lot of old memories that I can't get out of my head right now. My sister was bullied a lot, though, and I am sure that was the reason she finally died.

I have a hearing impairment, but you would think of me as a "hearie" if we were talking face-to-face. I think everybody should sign, though. Why not just start teaching it to all the children in grade school? Why not?

Thanks, Kevin. She wasn't deaf. I'm not either. I was in the sign program at Gallaudet for three years. That was a long time ago, in the late 70s. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mislead you.

Yesterday, I was watching all the bullycide videos I could watch. When I found yours, it really felt like home. Gallaudet felt like that for a while. I had so many friends there. Kevin, there was a second suicide in my family this winter. It wasn't bullycide, but ... (con't)
