That was perfect when the light went out as Anne Marie signed “oppression” the first time!
October 2nd, 2007 at 11:20 am
Great job, Teri! A very unique vlog, especially with the hot tub scene. Whoo!
Ouch about your eye! I didn’t realize it was so sore. It didn’t look bad on Saturday until the evening. Hope it’s okay.
I adored you all and I personally thank you for your kind words about me. I’m feeling “homesick” for everyone now, so your vlog made my morning!
Hugs, hugs and more hugs!

Whoa! I feel bad about your eye!
I, too, am impressed with Julie of Deaf-Hope and their work for deaf women. Some of my friends work with Julie’s staff for training, and I always hear good things.
I REALLY wish I could have made the trip.
I’m glad you had a great time. I am glad that you were honored in this event because you and the other ladies really do have an influence online. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
October 2nd, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Hope your eye gets better ASAP, Teri!
Your vlog just cracked me up! And Anne Marie’s lights off when she signed oppression… PRICELESS! You guys should be on stage.
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Teri! This is precious! So happy I had the opportunity to meet you and the other gals in person! Wish I could have stayed for the nightime fun! Hope your eye gets better soon! You are right, you are all simply Fabulous!

“AG Bell in hot water” hahahahahahaha laughed out loud!!!! More importantly, I was really inspired by the comments about Sign Language’s precious gifts.

Not only Fabulous Eight, but also Beautiful Eight! That is what I love about
Generation X! Devoid of crab antics! I am glad to see Julie Rems-Smario!
She is an elegant lady!
Teri, I hope your eye has been better by the time you read this!
October 2nd, 2007 at 4:02 pm
I am so glad you took the time to vlog and showed us some of what was going on!
I’m sorry about your other eye…glad it didn’t stop you from going, though!
Yeah, I agree with others about how funny it was with Anne Marie’s being “shut up” when she signed oppression with the lights going out! Haaa!
Thanks a million, Teri! And get well soon!
Hugs all around!

Please do not forget to tell people whom you screw up their marriages from cheating last winter. It will be more exciting than this boring vlog. How many marriages did you break up? Your hearie hubby knows about this or he cheats on you too?
October 3rd, 2007 at 9:42 pm
You’re absolutely right! I had a super, super, super time with you guys! Let us make some more in the future! Hurry up, Aidan! We’re dying to see your!

Hello Cheater,
I am sorry that you choose to be malicious — making an attempt to trouble the water here and at other well-known blogsite
Yes, s/he notified me of your slanderous message left on his/her site.
You are mistaken.
I never went to Winterfest ‘07.
My husband and I are happily married and all my children are fathered by the VERY same man, a unique hearing husband of mine — the very same Bill McDonald. And we are so committed to each other. Nineteen years and three months.
Your comment is like water off a duck’s back.
Hope you find your inner peace — to be no longer a gossipy malevolent person. You will be much happier.
It’s all about karma. It takes care of you. Bad doings mean bad karma or unhappiness. Good doings mean good karma, a good life.
Let’s purify your negative karma.
Kind regards,
Teri

I love your comment here:
“water off a duck’s back”!
It’s all about karma, baby….
*sprays negative vibes*
There - much better!!!

Hi IamMine,
Thanks!!
Seemingly, they are evaporated!
Hope we connect on IM or VP again soon.
Take care, Michele!
Hugs,
Teri
October 8th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Michele??
That’s it!! You can forget it!!!!
Hehe, j/k… yeah, it’d be cool to meet you on VP - just gotta get it fixed first!
It’s been dead for two months!
*sigh*
As soon as I get it up and running… I’ll handwave for your attention!
October 8th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Jesus Christ! *banging my head*
I mean Melissa! I know many gals with those two names, Michele and Melissa. I often make mistakes recalling their names. :/
Sorrrrrrrrrry, Melissa!

Your ideas are wonderful. Why not ask DeafHope to help set up one in Riverside. Riverside needs it
badly.
