Oh Plz!

Those glasses are wayyy too Loud.

Unless if she could be impersonating as Ms. Ray Charles.

I say this is rather tacky. :(

I don’t think she is a blind person, I can feel. She is pretend to be a blind.

Good Story.

CyanSquirrel (08:46:41) :

N. Name, those glasses were Coco, for sure. If you had the pleasure of knowing this amazing woman, you might focus on the content and not the packaging…

Great job C.R.! Very clear and entertaining. And yes, some people really do have that limited of sight. But they’ve got lots of other qualities that more than make up for it. Hugs!

Dianrez (09:38:56) :

Terrific story! Coco is talented and should come up with more ABC stories! For all readers, like most deaf-blind people, Coco grew up Deaf first and that’s where her excellent ASL and expressiveness comes in. Most Deaf-Blind lose their vision later in life –in the teens and adulthood– from Usher’s Syndrome. They still prefer to stay in the Deaf community throughout life. Hand waving, Coco!

Kitty (09:56:02) :

Good story.

Is Coco really a blind woman? Hmmmm. But I noticed and figured that she is looking at a webcam with a pair of big sunglasses and her normal eyes as if she is pretending to be a blind. I can tell.

great job Coco! I think it was good and not bad for a person who’s deaf blind. Im usher sydrome myself only at nighttime and cant see very well even if Im walking around in the night. I can only see daylight hours only. So I can understand her situation.

good job and never mind them comments. thumbs up to you Coco!

DBbaldy (10:34:18) :

I know Coco from the DB listserv. She is definitely a DBP. Good job, Coco! I enjoyed it!

(((hand waving)))
Very smooth, clear and entertaining
This VLOG is for entertainment, not only jokes but stories and skits.
Just watch and try to understand what in in the character’s mind and show us
and I compliment Coco and many others who have send their videos
to entertain us. Keep them up. I hope one day I will be able to send one in.
GOOD, BAD, SAD, HAPPY, FUNNY, DUMB, SMART. No matter what. Just keep’em rolling. This VLOG is probably the only one for the Deaf/HH to enjoy.
So sit back and enjoy it.

I keep following your letter by letter from A to end at Z twice then I notice you missed one letter is “O”. I might overlooked. I will watch third time again to make sure I have a good focus to catch if you did.

CyanSquirrel (09:31:56) :

People, she is deafblind. She has Usher’s and she is a better leader than most “just deaf” folks out there. Why does it matter though if she is blind or not? She told a story. If I told a story about a priest in a deaf school, do I need to be a priest or need to have attended a deaf school to be qualified to tell it? No. Anyways, C. R. is one of the most amazing deafblind women I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

It’s not great show. your abc seem missed some letters. I have watched 3 times carefully. Try better next time.

Christine M. (10:25:03) :

Coco,

I loved your story. You are very creative. Thank you for sharing your talent and for helping educate people about ASL and your perspective as a person who is deaf and blind.
My friend Ona sent me the link to you story. She is deaf blind too. I think ASL is amazing. I love it. It makes me see the world differently. It is poetry and drama. It is so alive.

Thank you so much,

Christine M

Bobo (18:28:14) :

Well, I think that you are missing a letter “O” with sign that you do not sign with letter “O” what I do not see what you were saying with letter “O” so thus, it is lousy story. Sorry :(

27 05 2007
Allen (20:34:31) :

Peace

christine (13:25:10) :

Hey… Christine here. Yep, the “deafblind” chick.
To clear up some questions, YES I am legally blind, with some vision left. I have Usher Syndrome. I don’t appreciate some of you calling me a liar, or a fake. This came from my heart.

Some of you are really discouraging, saying some rude words, why would you want to discourage a person from expressing their art? I find comfort in expressing ASL, whether it is a joke, or an art, and if you don’t like it, then give me constructive feedback rather than being rude and telling me that it was a lousy video.

As for the “O”, I did sign O, as the sun blinding my eyes, but the webcam didn’t get it, my hands were out of the range. Sorry about that.

Thank you, CyanSquirrel, my #1 fan ;-)
I just want to educate as many people out there about Deaf Blindness.
By the way, to the very first commenter who said this is for Deaf Jokes only.. didn’t you get the first word in DeafBlind? I’m deaf, too, you idiot. I am not hearing.

anyway, to those who were positive and given me constructive feedback which I shall take into consideration:
tactile love.
Coco/Christine

GREAT STORY! BUT SHE NOT BLIND

Frido (09:29:14) :

Great ideas come from a great heart!

Great story – I remember me doing a story with ABC while on camp some fifteen years ago, only difference would be that we were allowed to use only our thumb and index finger (as in shooting etc.) – or some other fingers we were told to use. That was fun and taxed our creativity!

Keep doing your stories, and keep us happy :)
