Do you ever.....

[ara87]

Talk with your hands? I don't mean like just moving them around, but actually semi signing things that could be interpreted.


Like today I was trying to ask my friend for the remote control for the tv, but the words "remote control" seemed to have left my head for a few minutes, and without realizing after I asked "where is the..." I had one of my hands shaped as if I was holding the remote and my thumb moving as if I were changing the channels. Luckily he knew what I was talking about b/c I was looking at the television. Or another time, I was asked some question and the answer was supposed to be a 45 degree angle, but instead of answering with words I just put my hand at a 45.

Sometimes.

I tend to move my hands more than whatever you do, but I find myself doing both.

Get some sleep.

lol, i did. I was fully rested that day. I'm not always sleep deprived, and when I am my brain can make as much sense of hand signs as it does words

Re: Do you ever.....

If I try talking without moving my hands I fall down ... I think it is a genetic trait

Re: Do you ever.....

Have any of you folks ever considered learning sign language? But the risk of that is gangs might think you are throwing out gang signs and shoot you.
