Time for me to CRY!!!!!!

My month vacation end today!!!!  WAAAA!!!!!!  I got to get up really early tomorrow.  Now I have to get up at 5 in the morning.  So I will say Good Morning around 6:30.  I will sometimes say Hi during lunch time.  I will be online shortly sometimes after 6 if my dad is not online.  I will immediately get off at 9!!!!!!!!

Good news, back to having a great free meal!!!!!!  Free coffee!!!!  Free water!!!!!  Paycheck again!!!!!

Good Night everyone!!!!!!

I am shocked or am I imaging it!!!

Is the top 5 gone????  I thought ebay will not listen and we just have to put up with it!!!  Wow!!!  Or it just a glitch and I will see it up there tomorrow?

*sigh*

My parents told me that I need to consider dropping counseling.  They hate me going to counseling and I am assuming they don't like stranger to know how they treat me. 

I told my parents, I am going to continue to go to counseling until I am ready to not go.  They think I should have gone for one things since it affected the family but the rest of the stuff I went thru, who cares to them since it have nothing to make things "better" in the family.

I almost felt like saying, I am still going to counseling because the family is soooooooo dysfunctional and the emotional abuse of denying my deafness!!!  It is mainly my mom.  They don't like it that I tell someone.  They hate and don't believe in medicine even thou depression run in family.  Just believe that I need to ask God to heal me but I will tell them that God send doctor and therapist to help us thru. 

They don't realize how far behind I am in emotion and social.  Counseling is not just for certain things but other that my parents did not teach me.  My mom didn't let me goes out with my friends while growing up because they weren't from same religous.  She really brain wash me and since I am deaf I didn't know what life really was and able to miss a lot of things. 

I just want my parents to back off about counseling.  They should looked at it that I am willing to get a 2nd job to pay for counseling!!!  I got a HUGE discount!!!!  She know I need counseling and she know I like to go because I am going to someone who cares about me and just talk.  Plus, I still need 2nd job even with counseling.  But now with the HUGE discount, I will be able to start a saving!!!!

    Awesome all the way! Mystery Auction is well worth it!! The soaps smell awesome!
  Tru's Mystery Box. WHATS INSIDE? ALL NEW ITEMS! (#110150079831)

The 5 stars can be really cruel!!!!

I got about 5 or 6 feedbacks today!!  I look at the stars rating and I noticed desprition continue to be perfect.  Shipping time seems to went up 1 more.  Shipping & handling finally started to goes up!!  YIPEE!!! And my communication went down about 1 times.  I don't know who did that since I got about 5 feedback so I do not know who felt communication was not perfect. 

Then I saw I got another feedback and I get this

Positive feedback rating

Arrived 7/27- Quick Del'y, Excellent Condition, Gr8 Communications-Thank you!!!

 

I noticed that my communication is back up again as it was before BUT my shipping and handling went back down again!!!!  She paid $3.99 and it was calucated by ebay!!!  Back where I started.

You can be excited to see it finally goes up only to see it goes back down in 2 hours!

Those who want to learn ASL, I finally found the website!!!!

This is my favorite learning tools!!!!!!  I put it in my favorite places so I don't forget what it is. 

http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi

It is best for phrases and how to sign idiom!!!!

I just got yell at by grandma!!! *sigh*

My grandma really want me out.  They telling me about the move in special near here but I told them that one bedroom is $765.00 and I really need to find 2nd job first!

I got yelled because she told me that I should be able to do it without 2nd job.  I told my grandma, I have bills and she was like so do everyone else.  I told grandma I will be having school loan bills, and other bills that needed for being deaf!  Also, my family hate me going to counseling and I have to pay for that too.  I rather work 2nd job than drop counseling.  She did gave me a huge discount just recently and it will help a lot and now when I get 2nd job, I will be able to put some toward saving.  I would not have to use credit card!!!!!! 

Grandma have no ideas what it costs to live!!  Or the taxes that is taken out of our paycheck.  If they didn't take the tax, I can do without 2nd job.  She haven't work for over 15 years and she doesn't pay for a place to live.  My parents pay for the house.  She doesn't have a lot of expenses and she yelling at me that I can live without 2nd job.  I told my grandma do you realize that place is going to take most of my paycheck!!!

I hate people telling me that I am wrong when I have already budget everything!!!!! Car loan, Car insurance (she doesn't have those since no car), cell phone, 2 credit cards, school loan, rent, electric, water, high speed, basic cable and phone in a package, gas, food and some need. 

Why I do not like to read poem????

It is very difficult to see what it is talking about.  Also, poems require you to be able to hear the rhyming (can't spell) and the sound of the poem. 

I remember in college when I had to write a report on one poem and someone read my paper for feedback and he was likes, well it is ok and so on.  Then he said I forgot the most important thing.  I looked at the poem and I was like what did I forget.  He said the poem sound like an ocean when saying it.  HUH????  So he showed me all the s's in the poem that make th sound.  So poem is for HEARING people and I just say HUH????

But I love ASL poem but hearing is like HUH???  It is so beautiful and pictureqse (can't spell).  I had to explain the hearing people who knew ASL what he was saying.  This symbolize this and that and so on. 

here is example

Serious Questions and not about ebay!!

I really like this guy for a long time!!!!  His name is Bo and I think he likes me but there is times, I wonder if I imagined it. 

I don't know if he just nervous to ask me if he does like me or not.

Should a woman ask a guy out???  How do I do it???  How can I make it causal just in case, I imagined it?? 

I know he is 3 years younger than me so that is perfect combination.  Study shows that deaf people should date and married younger hearing people as we are delayed in maturing. 

How long do you normally wait for money order????

I got 2 zero feedback who won and said will send money order.  It is almost 12 days now.  One is from VA and another one is from PA.  It should not have taken that long!!!!

Normally, I wait 2 weeks but with it being zero, I wonder if I am not getting it. 

So curious how long to do you wait if they notify you that they are sending money order.

There could be a book on my life in the future!!!!

My counselor told me she always wanted to write and book and I told her that she can use me!!!  She said my life will be great for her to use as I am really unique living in a hearing world but profound deaf.  But what make me unique that I am profoundly deaf but talk very well and read lips that people wouldn't know I am deaf!!!

My upbringing, being profoundly deaf but able to pass as hearing (I don't know anybody with kind of hearing loss I have that can talked).  The kind of hearing loss I have, I shouldn't be talking at all!!!!

I told her, goes ahead cause I really want someone to learn from my experience and help someone like me.  I told her just change my name so that my family doesn't know it is them.  LOL!!!

She said tease me and said she will put down that change name to protect the guilty party!!!  LOL!!!

She said she really can write a book and even have some ideas and all the writing I have done in my Journal!!!!  I told her goes for it and she have my permission.  It probably won't be for another 10 years as she have one more to do for her degree.  She doing her dication and she is done!!!!

I got home in a nick of time!!!!!! I hurry home when I saw the ugly dark cloud!!!!

I saw my feedback this morning

And sometimes, wonder if there is a hidden message when I get THANKS!!!  I looked up at my stars and I see it the same and some of them move closer to perfect so he most have like what he got.  So I decided to check his feedback that he left for other and most of them were THANKS! except for some have a few more words if service is outstanding.

So I believe he just a man with a few words and THANKS really means THANKS!!!!

I going now and be back around 3:00!!!

Have a great day!

Good Morning!!!!

I got one auction which end on Thursday during a time that end it hour, I will never have done and it is already $26.00 for 4 eyeliners!!!!  I listed it for $7.99.
