Index Number: 9141 I was in Bridgewater participating on an Affirmative Action panel, and I started talking w a HI lady. Anyway, right after we started we found we couldn't communicate very well. Since I can't sign, I thought we were outa luck. :-( She was *VERY* cute! But she surprised me! She grabbed a piece of scratch paper and started writing, then I wrote my response! That worked great! And then when someone came up we just handed them the paper and they were right up w our conversation! I can see some problems w this already! You have to be pretty good at hand writing, you have to have something to write on (ie a table and paper), and it's slow; but it sure worked well w us, so I wonder if anyone else could use it! Actually, for all I know, this is already well known! If so, I'm displaying my ignorance! (No problem, I do it all the time! :-) I also discovered a good pick-up line for a HI lady, instead of, "Gimme your number, I'll call!", use, "Gimme your adress, I'll write!". So if any of you HI ladies feel like it, my email address is below! ------------ Militant Handicapped Survivor! Cliff Stevens MT1E228 att!cbnewsj!ncas (908)671-7292
