Waching daily Aug 29 2017

My goal for you is to be as functionally independent as possible with what you

love to do in life. It starts with empathy.

You have to at least for a moment just be able to understand what they're going

through. I am a passionate tennis player. I was playing in a social, and as I

served the ball, I ended up with a tingling sensation on my index finger. So

I had the MRI done, and it was determined I had a ganglion cyst that required

removal by surgery. And he said, there is a possibility that you may not have use

of your hand to play tennis again. But I said, oh no, I'm determined.

I'll do whatever I have to do to get the feeling back in my hand so I can brush

my teeth, comb my hair, wash my hair, to get myself back on the tennis court.

Occupational therapists in general are essentially creative problem-solvers.

It's helping somebody not only return to something they love but be able to do

that themselves. I don't just care about your range of

motion today, your strength. I care about how you're going to use your hand

for the rest your life. We look at the whole person. We look at the physical, we look

at the emotional, we look at the environmental--we have to really take in

everything about that person and what's important to them, and then problem

solve, how are we going to take care of that issue? It can start in the neonatal

intensive care unit and go all the way up through the entire lifespan.

Occupational therapists are especially trained to solve problems to help

people's lives be better. We have a stronger skill set in that than any

other profession.

I'd like to go back to doing my photography. I need to be able to lift

the camera to my eye, so that's what I'm working on. It's very important for me to

be independent, and I think the occupational therapy has made a great,

great difference.

My daughter is profoundly deaf, so she has cochlear implants which help with

the hearing, and she also has an autism diagnosis, so she has multiple sensory

issues. For a child, any child, one of their occupations is play.

That's just naturally what they do. Play is something that you can't always

teach. So we incorporate play into function. I like how you're drinking

your juice, Julie. Taking turns, which is a huge play skill and peer interaction--

figuring out how both sides of my body work together and how that is all

integrated into our brain neurologically. The sensory integration is just what my

daughter needs to facilitate all her motor skills, her balance, her vestibular

system, and it just made a dramatic difference. The results are a child

finding themselves. Not catering to what is inhibiting them but to what is stengthening them.

You ready? 1, 2, pull up. I see Scott engaged more, I see him lift his

head up, I see him attend to things. Give me one more hit with the soccer ball.

Thank you, that's awesome. All right, let's try something else. For me, OT is the

ultimate problem-solving profession, because every day I have a chance to

engage with somebody like Scott and I'm going to figure out how to break through.

I can use things that are really familiar to him. He's a race car driver, so

I can use the steering wheel. If it's something that he knows about, he's going to be like,

oh yeah, that's mine, I know what that is. Every idea that she's had I've never

even thought of. Just like we were practicing over on the mat, we're

going to practice on keeping your head up. We're going to practice sitting up on your own. You

got it? Nice. He didn't move, he wouldn't do anything, and we've only been

here three weeks and I would have never thought we would have made it this far.

It's going great, he's doing good. You got it.

COPD, the major symptom besides not being able to breathe, is fatigue. Every step

you take, your lungs are working harder. So I knew that it was just a very short

matter of time that I'd be in an assisted living facility. And I just--I

couldn't bear that. I have a cozy little apartment. I've made it a home and I want

to stay here. In order to, you know, maintain her independence and be able to

live where she wants to live, we spent a lot of time talking about, what do you

value and how do you see your life changing? Oh, this looks so comfortable!

We can adjust the height. Okay. And I did put some non-slip rubber grips on the

bottom. As an occupational therapist doing home modifications in the

community, I feel it's very important to develop that rapport with people and

develop that trust so that together we can come up with those solutions and

make a difference. What Carly has done using the tools of occupational therapy to

ensure that I don't get exhausted, has improved my quality of life. And when

that happens, you're a happier person.

Dennis was getting ready to move out of a nursing home, and was bored in his

room, and he would color lots of pages in his coloring books, and just wanted to be

able to go out and do things on his own. So we worked a lot on social skills in the

natural setting, ordering what he wants, managing the money, and not having

people do so much for him. I'm learning about money a little bit. How

to count the money and everything. I think it's really great seeing them interact with

people in the community and not focusing on mental illness, but focusing on

enjoying myself around other people that are doing something similar to me. And

it feels really good that OT has that ability to help people really realize

that potential for themselves. My future is maybe living a long life if I

could, and down the line maybe get in the community, and paying bills, and getting

my apartment, and setting goals and stuff like that. What did you watch today?

I was in Atlanta, and I had got drunk. And I was laying on the sidewalk and somebody

took a picture of me. And that was the first time I really looked at myself

and said, I need the help. Because when I looked at the picture, I could take me

out of the picture and see the chalk line. I

came in and it gave me a chance to get myself together.

To have a foundation in a program that I never tried before in my life.

It reeducated me, and helping me learn to function, was the best thing about

OT for me. When I get to put a room together knowing that a new resident

coming in, I know I'm giving him the same opportunity that was given to me when I

came here. My hopes and dreams is to be happy. That I'm part of society. That I'm

contributing.

I have a chronic illness that put me in a deep depression, so that brought me to a whole new

understanding of life. You ever make cookies before, or you started doing it when you

came here? I start making them when I came here. Yeah. What makes OT a little bit

different? What's something that you like? You give us the opportunity to say how we feel, what we feel.

To go out, go to meetings. You know, cook in the kitchen. I love saying

that, cook in the kitchen. What's always been the most important is seeing them

progress, and know the things that we've done here are helping them get their

lives back. I'm proud that I could say this is home. The evidence is really

strong now from the scientists in neural plasticity that using real-life

situations will give better changes on a neurological level. You'll see more

improvement when we use occupation in our treatment.

With different therapy it's helping retrain my brain to send the correct

signals. If I do it enough, my brain should kick in and I should be able to do it on

my own. Lisa's arm is supported in a mobile arm

support. We have some functional electrical stimulation, and then I'm

triggering the stem so it triggers once she grasps, and then as soon as she makes

her way across her body and over here into the bag, I let go of the trigger

and Lisa focuses on opening and extending her fingers. Yes, very good.

I'm trying to tap into everything Lisa enjoys doing. This is something that's important

to Lisa. She enjoys make-up. I came here to get more intense therapy and

using my hand, I know it's not going to be perfect, but little by little.

I joined the Marine Corps with the infantry, actually on the front lines

doing patrols, doing that, that's what I did. We were on our last patrol in

Afghanistan, and day one of that patrol is when I stepped on the IED. It blew up.

The charge was right underneath my left and right leg, how they were spread open,

so it split me in half. And it was 28 minutes from blast to me getting put on

the medevac and put into a medical coma, which is really quick considering how

far out we were from the medevac site. So when I got to Walter Reed for a week or

two or more, I was doing three surgeries a week. And the OTs would come into my

room and we'd do ADLs--stuff that I was gonna use all the time. So I was very

eager to learn it. OT got me to the point where I could be independent, drive

myself, be in my own wheelchair, get up and down the hills, and use prosthetic

legs. It was full speed ahead. The quicker you could start getting all

this stuff and become more independent, you just feel like yourself

again. Not only was the OT helping him regaining his independence, that also

helps me find my balance of being a wife and a mom. So as they're helping him, it's

also helping our entire family. Pretty amazing stuff that the OTs can do.

Patrick and I went for a walk on a beautiful spring day. We had very little to

worry about, and we had our whole life in front of us. And now we are both lying

in ICU beds. And could it be true that we're both amputees? To our occupational

therapists: You walked in our rooms and gave us our first shower, after five

weeks of bed baths. You instantly made us fall in love with you and your

profession. Over the course of these last three years, you have equipped us with a

myriad of skills and tools that helped us reclaim our lives.

Thank you for dedicating much of your lives to this unique profession of

occupational therapy. Where science, creativity, and compassion collide.

I TRY AN AMERICAN FAST FOOD - Duration: 7:28.

Hi everyone, what's up ? I hope you're doing well

I'm Yoann, and you're on my channel: My life in the United States

So we're here today, in a different setting

we're parked at the moment

At SONIC. Sonic is a drive-in

it's an American fast food. It's something very different, that we don't have in France

so I thought I would bring you along

and show you

the American fast food SONIC

SONIC is a drive-in, the difference between drive in and drive-through

Mcdonald's etc in France are drive-through

we can do with our car, go to the side

order, they give us our food

and we go with our order or we eat inside the restaurant

A drive in is completely different

we park here, I'll show you in a minute. We park with our car

we order at the window, I'll show you, there is a menu

with an intercom. I'll show you everything in a second

and you just have to wait in your car and someone brings the order directly to your car.

and you eat in your car

it's totally different

and an interesting thing here

is that most of the persons working here deliver the food in roller skates

I also heard that they organize roller skating contest, to see who's the fastest one

it's pretty neat

so I'll show you right now the menu and how it works when you arrive and order

so when you arrive at Sonic

you have different spots

where you can park your car

and at each of them, there is a menu and an intercom

you park, and when you're ready, you can look at the menu,

and as you can see the menu is pretty big

Sonic is well known for its drinks and its different mix

it's written on the boards that you can select among more than 398k drinks

there are so many different flavors

you can mix many different flavors and create

more than 398k drinks

it's crazy ! GO USA! We're going to order together

you'll see, we'll order a few American items

And when you're ready, you simply have to push the red button

you talk to the person and you pay directly there

and you just have to wait for your order to be delivered

There we go, we're ready to order. We agreed on a few things

We're going to try a few typical items

We'll have a cheese burger menu, with tater tots

tater tots are deep-fried, grated potatoes in a ball shape

so good !

we'll also have...

Pickle-O's, which are fried pickles

yes you heard it, fried pickles! I'm excited because

I've never had them !

and we'll have corn dogs

it's a sausage (usually a hot dog) coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter on a stick

and it's so so good

and we'll also have their house drink

Cherry Limeade, a kind of cherry limonade, a Sonic classic

so we'll try together

and for desert, we'll have a masterblast

peanut butter & snickers

we'll see ! I'll order a small size

you'll see how it is, because the sizes here

are pretty big

as I explained, when you're ready to order

you just have to click on the button

now I have to pay with my card

for everything I order, it's only $15

and you see how we pay, I just inserted my card

and it's done !

so I ordered and I just have to wait to be delivered here at my car

there we go ! So usually, the real tradition

is to eat in your car, but to show you correctly the food we'll

go and sit at a table outside

so there we go, here we have...

our menu, our 2 corn dogs

which are as I said,

a fried sausage on a stick

tater tots, fried potatoes

and here we have the fried pickles

well, well

we're going to try everything !

Today for our special guests, we have Aurane, hi Aurane ! and Andrea ! Hi Andrea

So we're ready to taste

You're going to try their Cherry limeade

and you'll tell us what you think

so good? I'm going to try too

it's so good !

Now I'm going to try for you and for the first time

the fried pickles

let's go

it's very good

of course, it's fried, it's greasy, so it's good !

literally, pickles dipped in breadcrumbs

and fried

the little tater tots (potatoes)

so good !

taste !

it's good isn't it ?

as you can see here, the drink, it's a medium size

which is literally the large one in France

to finish, the last item is the corndog

the sausage on a stick

it's so good, look how it looks like

so there we go, I hope you enjoyed it, if you did, give it a big thumbs up !

I enjoyed

sharing with you this American experience

if you're in the States, that's something you should try

because it's pretty neat

and they have special things to try, such as the pickles, etc.

and I'll see you next time, on my channel: My life in the USA, bye !

- Thank you, you too.

- [Cashier] Hey ladies how are you today?

- We're good, how are you?

- Good.

- Ah excuse me, are you all out of the sweet potato cake?

- No ma'am.

I've got some hot out the oven for you.

- [Venice] Great.

- [Cashier] What can I get for you?

How many would you like?

- About three or four.

- [Cashier] Okay, we'll call it four.

- Okay (laughs).

- Excuse me, you mind if I get those for you?

- Uh, excuse me.

Didn't you see them talking?

So rude.

- Katrina.

- It's okay.

(cash register beeping)

- Excuse me, it's gonna be $10.

- No thank you, I'm good.

- Yes, no thank you.

(cash register beeping)

- Thanks so much.

Here you go.

Can I get anything else for you ladies?

- No thank you.

- Call me.

- Uh uh.

Girl he don't spend a little $10 and think he--

- Katrina, why do you always have to act like that?

- Can I get anything else for you ladies?

- No thank you.

- We screat.

Girl because, they like it when you play hard to get it.

You know, show them that you don't need 'em.

- How do you know?

- Because all men are dogs looking for a bone

to dig up and rebury.

- What?

- Girl, dogs like to chew on a bone,

bury it, and dig it up again.

Meaning, men like to get some and then push you to the side

until they're ready to get some again.

- And that's exactly why you're single now.

- And I guess they knocking your door down.

(bell dinging)

(slow, sentimental music)

- Hello?

May I speak to Morris?

- This is he.

- Hi it's Venice.

Venice, you met me a couple of days ago (laughs).

Yeah, with the crazy friend.

Yeah, that was me.

Dinner?

Um, yeah I think I'm available next week.

(gentle piano music)

- Your client's here.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Hey Morris, Venice, how ya'll doing today?

- Fine.

- That's good.

I have the pre-nup for you guys to sign.

I need three signatures, one here.

Then two on this page.

(papers shuffling)

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Here you go.

- Thank you.

You guys have any other questions or anything,

feel free to give me a call.

- Morris, Venice, I really do hope you consider

what we talked about today.

So I'm gonna give you some things to take home

with you so you can use them and apply to your life.

I want you to take this book,

it's entitled Finding Your Focus on Relationships.

It's by my mentor, Marcus D. King.

Take that, read it, study it.

It'll be a blessing to your life.

- Thank you.

- I wanna thank all of you for an awesome first quarter.

With all you guys' hard work we are now the number one

furniture store in the entire southern region.

Okay, that takes a lot of hard work

and it takes everybody's effort from billing to sales

to customer support.

All of you were involved.

And based on that, I wanna give you guys your bonus.

(people cheering and clapping)

Alright.

- Well, seeing that there aren't any bridesmaids

or groomsmen here today, you two seem really loved today.

All kidding aside, Morris, do you take Venice

to be your lawfully wedded wife?

- I do.

- Venice, do you take Morris

to be your lawfully wedded husband?

- I do.

- With the power vested in me,

I now pronounce you both husband and wife.

You may kiss your bride.

(door slamming shut)

- Welcome to my, our home.

I'm so glad your aunt decided to go ahead

and give us a room for a few days after the wedding.

- Me too.

- You know what, even more so that you're here

with me as we start our new life together.

- Mr. Morris Canada, this is the happiest day of my life.

- No, this is the happiest day of my life.

I mean, to have you as my wife.

Mrs. Venice Canada.

I mean, I start my life here today with you.

My wife.

My bride.

My life.

- It's so beautiful in here baby.

I can't believe this actually our home.

Oh!

I broke it.

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

What's mine is yours.

Can I ask you something?

- What?

(mumbling)

Yes you do.

And, you would look even better out of it Mr. Morris.

- Oh really?

- Oh really.

- Well I tell you what.

- What?

- How 'bout we see how much trouble we can get into

before the driver shows up and takes us to our honeymoon.

- You're so silly (laughs).

(door creaking open)

(slow, suspenseful music)

- It's been two years now since we last kicked.

Oh, Morris honey.

You forgot to reset your security code.

Dumbass didn't change the locks either.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay baby girl.

Everything is ours.

Start fresh and new today.

Little does she know, little does she know,

this world only has room for one woman in Morris life.

(woman sighs)

Oh Shanna, oh Shanna.

(woman moaning)

Thought you knew me Morris Canada.

But you didn't.

Shanna always get what she wants.

And if I can't have you no one can.

One thing you must always remember.

Don't ever play with a woman's heart.

(door rattling)

(slow, suspenseful music)

Today's the day you begin your life new.

Oh, we'll see.

(door creaking)

- Oh baby, I'm so excited.

- Okay, just gonna step on through.

So are you ready for Hawaii?

- Yes, I can't wait.

- Even though we technically already started our honeymoon

what two nights in a row already?

You know what?

- What?

- Do you know just how much you mean to me?

I mean really.

No other woman in my life has ever made me feel

the way that you do.

I'm just glad that you trusted me enough

to marry me and be my wife.

And today is the beginning of me showing you just

how much I'm gonna love you.

(circus music)

- Hello.

How you doing I'm the mail lady, not the mail man.

That's right, the mail lady.

Yes, I deliver small, big, large, bulky,

circular, and irregular mail.

Uh huh (laughing).

Oh God I'm thirsty.

Can I trouble you for a glass of ice water?

- No.

- You know what, I just get it myself.

Don't even worry about it.

Kitchen right this way ain't it?

Whoo hoo!

Look at that.

You all got a beautiful house.

- What was that?

- I was just about to ask you the same thing.

- You sure that wasn't one of your flings mister?

In this nighttime, the mail doesn't even run.

- Baby, you're my one and only.

- Whoo!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You know I feel so much better since I catered to my thirst.

And who, my stomach had some issues.

Now I wouldn't use that bathroom for a few days.

You know what, a mail carrier's job ain't never done.

I can work all the way to sunrise.

Here you go.

That's from Tracy and your mama.

And I would open that letter from Tracy first.

You know he in prison, he went through, he need,

I ain't open that.

I'm a prophet.

I see everything.

Oh!

Congratulations on ya'll getting married.

Ya'll so beautiful together.

- Thank you.

- I got to get going.

You know what, don't worry about opening that letter

from your mama, she just want to borrow some more money.

Just like I always say, ya'll have so much fun in Hawaii.

I gotta go.

Bye bye now.

- How in the world does she know we were going to Hawaii?

- I (horn honking).

There, that must be the driver.

Let's just go.

Oh, oh baby, you go ahead.

I forgot something.

- Okay.

Why does Venice keep messing with this picture?

(mumbling)

I can't believe it.

I'm a married man.

Finally settled down with the one

that God has chosen for me.

Life is gonna be good.

(beeping)

Life is gonna be real good.

(upbeat, suspenseful music)

- Morris?

Morris no, no.

Wait for,

Morris.

(woman crying)

After everything I put up with,

this is what I get?

I should burn his house down.

(mumbling and crying)

Think you have a man that's all that, don't you Venice?

A man is only as good as the next woman he comes across.

You don't really know a woman until you know a woman

who's been scorned.

- What the hell?

I mean how did we go from selling out the entire

show room floor to not even being able to sell an end table

in six months?

I really hate to do this but I'm gonna have to let

some of ya'll go.

(slow, sad music)

- For real?

- For real.

Just have to do it myself.

Yes sir, I just need one more week.

Yes sir.

How we gonna do this?

Hey babe, come here.

- Yes baby?

- I gotta meet with a few clients today

so I'll probably be out most of the day.

- But it's Saturday Morris.

We've only been married for six months

and we're already acting like an old married couple.

We don't even spend any time together anymore.

- Baby, come on.

I already told you that business has been slow

and we ain't living in the best economy either.

You got laid off just three months ago.

- What happened to all the love and the affection?

I'm sorry but I feel like we're just roommates

living in this big house.

- Look, it's not even like that okay?

I just have to step up my grind,

get on my hustle, try to get a little bit of an increase

in our savings, get income back the way it used to be.

I mean, it gives you time to work on writing your novel

and selling houses on the side.

- Okay.

You know, since I started writing, I kind of like it.

It's, it's so therapeutic.

- Baby, can I ask you something?

- Yes?

- What do you think about us maybe renting out a room.

You know, to ease the financial strain.

- A stranger just living in our house?

- No, no, no, no.

I mean, it could be like a little old lady

or a college student.

You know, somebody quiet.

- It just doesn't seem like a good idea.

- I'm just saying, it doesn't have to be permanent.

You know, for just long enough until we get things

back the way they used to be.

You know, pay off a few bills.

- I don't know, it seems risky.

- Okay.

Well just think about it.

Okay.

- Okay.

- I gotta go.

Oh baby, and I'll call on my way home

but if Slim P comes by.

- I am not opening the door for him, never.

- Okay come on baby, that's my boy.

- [Venice] Then why don't you let him move in here?

- Didn't you hear what I was just talking about?

Okay, I was trying to get income coming into the house.

- He has a job.

- No.

Work one week, off three weeks.

That's not a job, that's rehearsal.

I gotta go.

- Okay.

(door bell rings)

- It's Katrina.

(woman laughs)

(door slams shut)

- So, you ain't speaking today?

- When do I ever speak to you Katrina?

- You just mad because you missed out on all of this.

That's all.

- I do not even understand how you two are friends.

- So what he all in a rush for?

- Work.

Girl, come on and sit down.

- So that's what they call it these days.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm just saying, a fine man like that

and you think you're the only one he wants?

Don't be no fool girl.

I know his type.

- Morris isn't cheating.

- Okay, keep telling yourself that.

You're gonna wake up one day and find yourself by yourself.

- Why is it that women that don't have a man

always think that every man cheats?

- Baby, you wanna know how we know?

'Cause we the ones they cheat with.

- I really don't need to hear

all of your crazy talk today Katrina.

- Suit yourself.

Fine.

All I know is you think you his one and only?

Please.

- The only woman that he wants is me, moi.

- Oh.

So you Frenchy now.

I'mma let you make it but I know you saw the way

he was looking at me when he was walking out the door.

His eyes was cutting all through me.

- Whatever.

- But I'm a lady, I don't do friend's men.

- Whatever.

(upbeat, waltz music)

- Hello sir, we're representing

the Chocolate Mint Foundation.

Would you like to buy some cookies from us?

- Sure man.

What kind of cookies ya'll got in here?

You know what I'm saying?

- We have peanut butter and chocolate chip.

- They're three dollars.

- Three dollars?

(mumbling)

- Are you mocking me?

- No ma'am, I'm not mocking you man.

Uh, uh, you got change for a 20?

- Sure.

(upbeat, dramatic music)

- So are you still coming with me to preview

one of these houses for my clients?

- Girl, you know I am.

But guess what, I got me a real job.

- You did?

Where?

- Girl, I got me a job at the chicken, meat,

feet and back shack.

They want me to be the day time manager

because you know, I got a little bizness experience and all.

- They must be pretty desperate over there.

(sighs)

- They was.

I start Monday morning.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

I'd like to file a complaint.

There's been a suspicious car parked outside my house

for a few months.

- Let me get this listing together.

Are you still keeping your license?

- Girl, you know I am.

I'm trying to get my name up on one of them sky raises.

- Um, don't you mean skyscrapers?

Girl, who in their right mind is gonna put your name

on a building?

You are dreaming.

Plus there's already something with your name on it.

- What?

- A hurricane (laughs).

- Whatever.

Girl, I'm just trying to keep hope alive.

Katrina Casino, Katrina Towers, Katrina Resorts.

Girl, remember what I said.

Don't be no fool.

(door bell rings)

What in the world?

What do you want?

(man mumbling)

- [Venice] What's wrong?

(man mumbling)

- [Venice] Who?

- There's a bunch of them (mumbling).

Please don't tell them (mumbling).

I'm sorry, please don't tell (mumbling).

And they just kept, they try to take all my money.

And boom (mumbling).

And they grabbed my leg (mumbling).

Oh no man, I don't know man.

Don't tell 'em dog.

Please don't tell 'em, please.

(knocking on door)

(kids coughing)

- Yup, right over there.

(woman laughing)

- Where is my money?

Where is it?

(man breathing heavily)

- There you go.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- You know something,

your donation thanks you for your service.

- Thank you for your service (laughs).

Ya'll have a good afternoon.

(woman laughing)

- Now see that ain't funny.

- That's what you get for taking that money

from those little girls.

- You know that wasn't right.

- And what do you want anyway?

(mumbling)

- Hey, is Morris here?

- He's not here, he's at work.

- Oh okay.

Well that's cool.

I'll just stay right here

because I need to borrow $26.32 from him.

- I think I have--

- No, no, see, I don't borrow money from women

because I'm a man, you know what I'm saying.

As a matter of fact, I get paid next week so yeah.

- Oh, you have a job now, okay.

- Yes I have a job.

You know they just put me on layover for right now.

- Don't you mean a layoff?

- What does that mean?

- It means you don't have a job stupid.

(man grunting and coughing)

- Stick your tongue out, stick your tongue out.

Yeah, you need to brush your tongue.

You know what, that must be the reason

they is that the security walked me

off the premise (mumbling).

- The what?

- The premimiscuos.

- You know what?

You are so dumb.

I bet you still live with your mama, don't you?

- I bet you I don't still live with my mama.

I live with my baby mama's mama's grandmama now.

- What?

You know what?

We was getting ready to go.

And now you going with us.

Come on.

- Hold on (mumbling).

So you're still gonna let me borrow that $26.32?

- Yes Slim P.

(man laughing)

- Boy come on here.

- But (mumbling) you gonna hook me up?

- Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.

- [Slim P] Quit playing so much huh.

(security system beeping)

(door slams shut)

(slow, suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(woman laughing)

(security system beeping)

(woman laughing)

What made you think you could just

I was the best woman for you.

(woman crying)

I wanted to be your wife.

I was a good woman to you Morris.

Why couldn't you see that?

You even said, Shanna, you take real good care of me.

I take too good care of Morris.

(mumbling)

So I'll take care of Morris.

(shirt ripping loudly)

Don't tell a woman something you don't mean

just to get what you want.

I'll take everything.

(woman crying)

Oh Morris.

I'll hold onto you Morris.

To the day that you or I die.

Whichever comes first.

- Baby, are you sure you wanna go through with this?

- Baby, I'm sure.

If renting a room is what we gotta do

then that's what we gotta do.

(doorbell rings)

- Hello, how are you?

Hi, I'm Gertie, I came to see about the room

you got for rent.

- Okay, well come on in.

- Alright, thank you.

Sure appreciate it, oh, look it here.

So nice and everything.

That look flawless and stuff.

Oh and it's clean too.

Look at this (mumbling).

- Nice to meet you Miss Gertie.

- Hi sugar.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

Have a seat and now tell us about yourself.

- Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I do.

Alright.

Well, let's see.

I'm a widdler.

- Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

- Oh that's alright sugar.

I just can't afford the upkeep on the house.

You know, with the plumbing and the cutting of the grass

and all.

- What happened to your husband?

- Lightening.

- Oh wow.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

- Oh no sugar, that didn't kill him.

We called the ambulance and when we got to the hospital,

on the way there actually, he got hit by a dump truck.

Sure did.

(couple gasping)

- Oh a dump truck killed him?

- Oh no sugar, they made it to the hospital.

They sure did.

But when they was at the hospital on the way home,

that old janitor was mopping the floor.

- So he slipped on the floor and fell?

- Oh no child, he walked all the way around that water,

sure did.

- Okay, okay, so what happened to your husband?

- My husband?

Oh child that wasn't my husband.

That was my boyfriend (laughs).

I don't know what happened to my husband.

All is a know is I'm a widdler.

So, tell me now, when I move in, can my friends come by?

(woman clears throat)

- Friends?

- I got me lots of friends child.

Let's see, there's Muffin, Elvira, whoop whoop (laughs).

Denzel and Muffin Top and Benedict.

Now Benedict and Denzel just don't get along

at all sugar (laughs).

Yeah, but I can tell we ain't gonna have much room.

We don't have to worry about as much room around here

that's why we got enough (trailing off).

Oh.

We just gonna be one big, happy family.

- You know what Miss Gertie baby?

- Yeah sugar?

- You know what we gonna do puddin'?

- What's that?

- This is what we gonna do okay.

- What we gonna do.

- What we gonna do, we gonna let you know

as soon as we make a final decision.

(woman mumbling)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it.

Once we make a final decision baby.

- You ain't made it?

- Oh no, no, no.

Not yet.

We just having everybody.

I understand but what we gonna do, we gonna let you know

as soon as we make a final decision.

(woman stuttering)

You got something to do?

Alright, now God bless you.

You have a good day alright?

Baby, don't you put an ad in the paper no more.

- Now that was just weird.

- You know baby, maybe this was just a bad idea.

- Oh baby.

- Maybe if I just get my hustle up the way

that it used to be and get my income back

the way it used to be, we'll be fine.

- Well, let's not give up so easily.

I was talking with a sorority sister of mine online

and, I don't know, maybe she could move in.

She just went through a really messy divorce.

Baby, her ex got everything.

- Wow.

- She has a job so she can pay rent.

- I mean, would you really be okay with another woman

staying in this house?

- She's my soro and I trust her.

And besides, Mr. Morris, I don't have a reason

not to trust you.

(door bell rings)

(slow, seductive music)

- Hey.

- Hi.

I was trying to see if the room was still available.

- Uh, the room, the room, yes.

(woman clears throat)

Baby is the room still available?

- Hi I'm Angela.

Okay.

I was interested in the room that you had for rent.

If it's still available, I have a cashier's check

for the first and last month's rent

and I downloaded the application you had online

and completed it already.

- Really?

So you have all that information available.

- Yes, everything.

Along with references.

A friend of mine told me about the vacancy.

She's very familiar with the neighborhood

and the people here.

- Really?

- I'm quiet, I'm neat.

I can even clean the house for you on top

of paying rent.

Just sort of a neat freak.

- Oh okay.

- I work.

I don't party.

No smoking, drinking, I don't do drugs.

And I don't have any pets.

- Not even a cat?

- No pets of any kind.

- Girl you good.

You might as well move in right now.

I mean, that is obviously me and my wife

will need to discuss.

- Yes, we will have to discuss it and get back to you.

What did you say your name was again?

- Her name is Angela.

- Okay Angela, we'll have to let you know.

- Okay, well here's all my information.

- We got it.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Bye now.

- Perfect huh?

- Okay baby, you know what I mean?

- And my sorority sister?

What about her?

- Hey, this girl has money.

- You just think she's cute.

- Listen baby, I'm not even concerned

about the way she looks.

Okay?

The girl has money, she's ready to move in now.

Listen, you are the only woman for me, okay?

Okay?

- Okay.

(upbeat, pop music)

- If you don't get away from me,

when you gonna get a job huh?

When are you gonna get a job paying my rent?

You know I got something for you.

I'm gonna power charge my scooter

and I'm gonna run you over.

- Yeah, may I help you?

- Hey man, how's it going?

I was trying to find a room--

- Yeah, room for rent.

Sorry bro, a little bit too late.

We already rented it out.

(door slams)

- Maybe not.

- Hello, I'm Terrence.

Terrence Love.

- Well hello Mr. Love.

- Yeah and I gotta say you're a little bit too late.

We already rented that room.

- Not so fast, she didn't leave a deposit.

If you would like I can give you a personal tour

just in case she doesn't come back.

- Let's see what you have to offer.

- We have a room to offer and that's it.

Let go of that man hand.

(mumbling)

(circus music)

- Yeah hello.

Yes, I'm the mail lady, not the mail man.

That's right.

I deliver small, large, big, bulky, circular.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Well, how are you today Morris?

- I got a few things going right now.

What, you got any mail for me?

- I sure do.

And actually (clears throat)

That man ya'll got upstairs.

(man mumbling)

He just got out of prison.

- Is that right?

- Prison.

- Alright so, who did I get mail from?

- Oh, nobody really.

You know this one ain't even got no return address.

The letter on the inside says if I can't have you,

nobody else can.

That's it.

Real strange if you ask me.

Oh, this one from your mama,

asking for money again.

You know what, let me ask you something.

This is between me and you.

- Make yourself feel comfortable.

- Are you a mama's boy?

- No I'm not.

- Yeah (laughs) you is a mama's boy.

Well, gotta get going, I'll holla at you later.

Alright, bye.

(door slams shut)

- This is a really nice place.

- Thank you.

- I can see myself living here.

- That would be great.

- Do you have alarm systems and dead bolt locks?

- Yes, we do.

So all your stuff will be safe.

- Well thank you so much for this tour.

- You're welcome.

- I feel like this would be a great home for me.

- I bet you do.

- I will tell you all this.

- What, that you've been in prison?

- No sir, I've never been behind bars.

I actually what I was about to say is I travel a lot

but I promise the rent will be on time.

- Thank you Mr. Love.

(woman singing and humming)

(piano keys playing)

(woman mumbling)

(woman crying and mumbling)

But your gonna have to let me go Morris.

It was too easy for you wasn't it?

It was just too easy for you.

You will pay.

You will feel all the pain I felt.

(piano keys playing)

♫ Love is whenever I get close to the door

♫ I finally get the nerve to go

♫ I feel you pulling on me

♫ Saying baby baby don't leave

♫ Don't leave

♫ Don't leave, don't leave

- Hello ladies, welcome to Studio 5012.

May I help you?

- Okay, this what I want.

I want a pink bang, some reaping waves,

and an orange pony tail.

- For you young lady?

- Just a shampoo and a (mumbling).

- Oh.

- Christy, you have a client.

- Venice, what are you all doing here?

- No, what are you doing here?

- Pretty boy.

- I was here with a friend.

- Really?

- Yeah, I was here with a friend.

- Where's your friend now?

- Relaxing (laughs).

- You are so right wildebeast.

- It's okay for a man to get his eyebrows arched

every once in a while.

- Yeah.

It's okay.

Just don't drop the soap.

- Katrina stop.

Chris, it was nice to see you.

- It was nice seeing you also.

Hey, do me favor.

You make sure you get the back (mumbling).

Put extra struggle on it.

Keep hope alive.

Do me a favor.

Don't tell nobody I was here, including Morris, alright?

- I won't.

- But I will.

I'm just thinking.

Anyway, back to what I was telling you earlier.

So you let some home wrecking skeezer move up in your house.

- Look, don't go there okay?

I trust my man.

- [Katrina] Do you really?

- Just 'cause you ain't got a man

and have never been able to keep a man

doesn't mean that me and you are the same.

- So I guess you got some kind of little magic dust juice

sprinkled up on you.

You got him wrapped around your little finger or something.

- Maybe you should just get a good man

instead of trying to give yourself to every man you meet.

- Oh.

So now I'm a tramp.

- No, I didn't say that.

Just take some time to find a good one.

- Well you know what they say,

you gotta kiss a few frogs

before you find your prince.

- I wasn't looking for a man

but God blessed me with a real man.

It just so happens he was a prince.

- Okay (laughs).

So you the princess?

Girl please, you're living in a fairy tale.

- You know something Katrina?

- [Katrina] What?

- We used to be real close

but our friendship has changed.

And I think it's because you're jealous.

- Jealous?

You hear this apple?

Jealous of you?

Girl please, I'm just trying to open your eyes

to these snakes and they slippery, slimy ways.

- This ain't working for me.

I am not gonna let a single woman break up what I have.

- Oh, I get it.

So you don't wanna be my friend anymore?

- That's not what I'm saying.

We have two different lives right now.

Maybe later on.

- Wow.

- I just don't think married people

and single people should hang around each other.

They don't have much to offer us.

And I am not gonna let you be the cause

of my marriage falling apart.

- [Katrina] What?

- I'm out.

- [Hairdresser] Are you gonna pay for that?

- You heard her, we ain't friends no more.

- Uh, excuse me, excuse me.

(door creaking)

- Hey babe.

Baby?

- I'm going to bed.

- What's the matter with you?

(slow, seductive music)

- I guess somebody didn't want to hang around huh?

- You know how it is.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

- I'm not tired.

You up for a game of cards.

- Um, not really.

- Aw, come on now.

What you want me to do?

Play by myself?

How about poker?

- I don't think that would be a good idea.

- Why not?

You have some (music drowns out speaker).

- Um, no I just realized

I actually have a lot of work that I have to do.

- Guess I'll just (music drowns out speaker).

- That's a good idea.

(slow, seductive music)

- Alright.

Is that a word?

- Please, come on now.

You are not that stupid.

You know that it's not a word.

At least not in English.

- Baby, Morris, Venice is right.

You know that.

- So ya'll gonna challenge it?

- Baby, we're both gonna challenge it

and if it's not a word--

- And it ain't.

- You're gonna lose 50 points plus your turn.

- Okay, I see what's going on here.

Ya'll want to sit here and team up on the bird (mumbling).

I get it.

It's alright, I'll deal with it.

Baby, did you mess with my picture?

- No.

Why?

- Maybe I moved it.

I did dust over there earlier today.

Girl you know I have this friend,

she hates crooked pictures.

It's like it drives her crazy or something.

- Okay, I guess that's another one of your jokes.

Oh, you're serious.

- Why's that so hard to believe?

- I just don't come across that every day.

- I'm not an every type of woman.

- Okay, well let's just go ahead and cut to the chase.

I mean, is there any way possible that I would have a chance

to get to know you better?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Um, not really.

Sometimes she kind of makes me question

- My wife fool.

- Man, I'm just trying to make sure

we're talking about the same person man.

arms folded, just lip poking out just staring.

(whispering)

- Who?

Oh Venice.

Oh, I'm just, you know I just want to make sure,

No, like that, exactly.

She ain't touch me, you know what I'm saying,

- So, who's lipstick was it?

- We're really gonna have to go through this.

- We're still talking about Venice, huh?

You know what, since you ain't doing nothing,

You know, I'm ready to let my baby mama go.

- Yeah.

- Like she would want you Slim.

- She would.

- Not even close.

Anyway, I thought you were sitting here talking about me.

- We are.

I would've never gotten married man.

- So you not playing no more?

- Fumeless.

- Really?

Do you even read Slim?

You just said fumeless.

Man, it doesn't even matter.

Do you even read Slim?

- Okay.

I'll talk to you when I get home.

Okay, bye.

- Wow.

Whoever that is sure does have you smiling.

- Yeah, he sure does.

(court echoing drowns out speakers)

(basketball bouncing and shoes squeaking on court)

(men shouting and cheering)

(court echoing drowns out speakers)

- Hey whatever.

Yeah, we got you scared dog.

(sad piano music)

(door creaking)

(heels clicking on floor)

(clicking drowns out speakers)

(basketball bouncing)

- Hmm, you're here.

- I live here.

- I'm gonna go to my room.

(suspenseful music)

- So.

Where you been?

- I don't know.

- I thought you were going to your room.

- I was.

Morris, have you been in my room for anything?

- [Morris] Like what?

- I don't know.

- Why would I be in your room?

- Yeah, why were you in her room Morris?

- Somebody was in my room

and they've been going through my things.

- I just got in from playing basketball all day.

- Well, maybe it's my imagination.

I'm gonna go head on and go to bed.

Goodnight.

- You know what?

I think I'm gonna go to bed too.

By myself.

- There's something weird going on in this house man.

Way too weird for me.

I feel like it's the woman that I married.

I keep trying to do right.

She just keep trippin' on me man.

- Here.

Sleep well.

(slow, suspenseful music)

(door bell rings)

Morris.

Morris baby, get up.

Get up baby.

- What?

- Someone's at the door.

- Okay, who would that be at this hour?

- I don't know, go see.

- Yeah, go see who it is.

- Come on man, it's probably just Slim P or somebody.

- What if it's not?

Just go see.

- I don't see nobody.

- Just go see.

(door creaking)

Who is it?

- I don't see nobody.

- Wait, wait, wait, what's that?

What is that?

- I don't know but it's probably just some neighborhood kids

or something.

(man mumbling)

(phone ringing)

- It stopped.

- Oh, I'm scared.

- It ain't staying in the room with us.

- Funny Morris.

Don't look like you're staying in the room either.

- Just star 69 'em.

- Yeah, try that.

- Okay.

It's private.

- It's probably just somebody playing on the phone baby.

- Playing or not, I'm going to my room, locking my door,

and sleeping with my scissors next to my bed.

- Yeah baby, come on.

Let's go to bed.

- Oh now you want me to go in the room with you.

- Morris come on.

Come on.

- That's weird.

- Look, the only reason you're in here

is because I'm scared.

You stay on my side and I'll stay on mine.

Good night.

(slow, suspenseful music)

- What the hell?

- Morris, what is it?

- I'm so sorry.

It was just a nightmare, go back to bed.

- Nightmare, huh?

- I'm surprised to see you today.

You're usually at work this time of day.

At least that's what ya'll tell me.

- Huh?

- Nothing.

- Look, I've just been trying to stay out

of everybody's way.

I took off work today.

I had some personal things to take care of.

But I didn't think you were here.

I didn't see your car out front.

- I let a friend use my car.

A true friend.

She needed it for work.

A friend that I almost let go of

because she was just trying to tell me the truth.

But she has my car, I decided to spend the day home

and just relax.

- So, where's Morris?

- I don't know.

Your guess is as good as mine.

- Well, I guess that's none of my business.

I'm just gonna go grab a few things

and then I'll be headed back out.

- Okay.

Why is she asking me where my husband is?

Honestly, I don't even care.

She can have him.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

This is she.

Who is this?

- Try this and tell me what you think.

- I'm not hungry.

- Try it, I'll bet you'll like it.

- I bet you he would.

That's if he hasn't already tried it.

- Okay, what is that supposed to mean?

- You know what it means!

I got an interesting phone call today.

- From who?

- From some woman.

What did she say her name was?

Shanna.

- Shanna?

- You heard what I said.

- Okay, that was just an old fling

and that was before I even met you.

- Really?

'Cause she didn't make it sound it was before you met me.

- Venice look, I have no reason to lie to you okay.

- I have not seen or talked to that woman

since you and I started dating.

- Really?

- Yes, really.

I told you about everything you needed to know

about my past.

- And what about your present?

The promises you made to her.

That the two of you would always be together.

- Okay look, I never promised that woman anything,

past or present.

- Really?

Then what's this?

- Okay what is this?

- You tell me.

I found it hidden in your drawer.

- I've never seen this before in my life.

- That's not what Shanna said.

In fact she said that the lipstick I found on your collar,

it was hers and she told you to clean it off

before you came home that night.

- Okay look, I have not seen or talked to that woman in--

- What are you looking at?

- Someone moved your picture.

- Who cares about the damn picture!

- You know what, this is getting too crazy for me.

I've been looking for my own place to live

for the past few days so surprise, I'm moving out.

- Well, if that's what you wanna do, feel free.

But, before you leave, wouldn't you like

to meet Morris's friend, Shanna?

- No, I really wouldn't.

- What are you talking about?

- I thought it'd be interesting.

No, fun, to invite her over to the house for dinner.

- Woman, have you lost your mind?

- I thought you'd be happy 'cause the skanky underwear

that I found in your drawer the other night wasn't mine.

- I don't know anything about that.

- Really?

'Cause Shanna admitted they were hers.

You can return 'em to her personally.

Wouldn't you like that?

- What?

- And speaking of inviting.

(door creaking)

- He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

- Shanna?

- Morris.

- Okay, right.

What the hell you two have going on here?

- Nothing sweetie I just wanted the truth to be revealed.

- The truth?

- That you and I are still together.

- You know what, you are one crazy psycho.

We've never been together.

- Then why do I have the keys to our home?

You gave me the alarm code.

- Okay look, I have no clue what is going on right now.

- It's okay sweetie.

Venice can still be a guest in our beautiful home.

She's always welcome.

- You low down dirty tramp.

(fist whacking loudly)

- Oh shit.

(women screaming)

(fist whacking loudly)

- Morris!

- Let me go.

(woman crying)

- Get out.

Get out of my house.

Get out of my house.

- Your house?

Don't you mean our house?

Don't do this to us.

- So it's you who've been moving my picture?

Man, get out of my house.

- Okay.

But you will say yes.

- It will be a cold day in hell.

If you ever, ever come back here,

I'll consider you an intruder and I'll do whatever

I have to do to protect my family.

(door creaking and slamming)

Venice, are you okay?

- How could you do this to me?

- Do what?

- Take me through all this mess.

- I haven't done anything.

- Angela, what do you have to say to that?

- Look, I don't want to have anything to do with this.

- No, I want you to.

(slow, suspenseful music)

Did you ever sleep with Morris?

The cats out of the bag, just tell me.

- Nothing ever happened between me and Morris.

In fact, I did everything you told me to do

and he never responded.

- Hold up, hold up, wait a minute.

So you used Angela to seduce me?

(gun cocking)

(gun shots blasting)

- Now, I was faster.

She was in the way anyway.

Get down, now.

Down.

- Just put the gun down.

(woman laughing)

- Put the gun down.

Okay Morris, I'll put the gun down.

Only if you'll agree to say I do.

- Do what?

- Come on baby.

Let's just kill them all

so it'll be you and I (laughs).

What do you think I should do with her?

- Morris (crying).

Please.

I'm sorry.

- What you men don't understand is

you can't just use us like you do

and just throw us away.

What goes around comes around Morris.

- Alright look, I'm sorry.

Okay, but we had an understanding.

There was no feelings involved.

- No feelings were involved?

No feelings were involved?

Are you kidding?

You just don't get it do you Morris?

When a woman shares her garden,

her hearts to follow.

No matter what her mouth says.

And you, you used me.

And now it's time for me to get even.

Get up.

- I mean, I said I'm sorry.

(gun shot blasting)

(woman laughing)

- Whoops.

- Shots fired, shots fired, we need back up.

(woman laughing)

- Damn trigger just keeps going off.

Doesn't it baby?

- [Venice] Baby, are you okay?

- Baby are you okay?

He's fine, move.

I'll take care of him.

Don't make me give you a matching hole.

Shanna can't, Shanna can't live like this.

Shanna can't live like this.

Shanna can't live like this.

You.

You slept with my man.

I can't.

We're all going to hell.

Say goodbye Morris.

- Police!

Freeze!

Put your gun down.

Put the gun down.

- Shanna, get your weapon down.

- Somebody has to feel the pain that I felt.

- Your heart can heal.

If you do something foolish, nothing can be healed.

Put your gun down and come with me.

- No.

I can't do that.

(gun shots blasting)

(gun cocking)

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Hey, aren't you the guy that came--

- Yeah, I'm the detective.

The mail lady is actually my partner, Sergeant Jane.

We've been watching this house for the last year

ever since she's been sneaking in.

Your neighbors called in about a suspicious person.

We didn't know what was going on

so we kept on watching the house until we were concerned

that something was wrong.

What threw us was she had a key

and she also knew the alarm code.

So there's no calls from this house

saying that there was a problem.

- Thank you man.

I appreciate it.

(pool balls clicking)

(slow, sentimental music)

- I'm sorry Morris.

I'm so sorry.

- It's alright.

We're alright.

(music drowns out speaker)

- Yeah, I know.

- How could you invite your soro into our home

to seduce me?

Inviting Shanna over here.

- I had to believe that you really loved me

and that you wouldn't cheat on me.

- I never gave you a reason to think that I would.

(pool balls clicking)

- I let Katrina in my head which brought her

into our marriage.

- Yeah.

And now see what you did?

Two people are dead.

From some damn insecure friend.

- I know.

I know.

Can you please find it in your heart to ever forgive me?

I love you so much Morris.

I love you so much.

- I love you too.

(woman laughing)

Just not as my wife.

- What?

- You gotta get your stuff,

you gotta get out of my house.

- But this is our home.

- No, remember I had this house

before I even met you.

Matter fact, you didn't move nothing in here

but your clothes.

You know what, I'll pack 'em up for you,

I'll send them wherever you're at.

See if you can find somewhere to put that

in your little novel.

You know, you just can't even trust anybody.

I'm glad I made you sign that pre-nup.

- I guess you're forgetting that you're broke.

All you have is this house.

I wanna tell you I hate you right now but I can't.

Not to the man who's the father of the child

that I'm carrying (crying).

- The father of your child?

- Yes.

- Put me on child support, but you gotta go.

- Here.

You can have your ring back.

- You can keep it.

Sarge fired.

- With the white woman you talking to you (mumbling).

You knew what happened to OJ.

Bless his heart.

I need to find a fat woman,

they don't mind shopping for snacks.

I'm gonna do it.

Speaking of snacks (laughing).

Confidence: Interview with Danette Fitzgerald - Duration: 46:36.

Free From Stutter Success Stories is a series of interviews with people who reached freedom

from stuttering or are on their way there. Freedom from stuttering it's when stuttering

is not holding you back in your life. It can be either achieving fluency, a real

progress on that path or it can be reaching your goals and making

a difference despite stuttering. So we're going to press for specifics

how are they doing that, what can we learn from them and what can we apply in our life?

Today we'll talk with Danette Fitzgerald. She's New Haven NSA (National Stuttering

Association) chapter co-leader. And the topic we'll get to in the interview will be confidence.

I often hear people ask like maybe I should get just some more confidence and then it

will improve my fluency? Well, confidence is something I lack myself, that's a very interesting

topic. So, let's try to learn something new!

Hello, Danette!

Hello!

We met at the National Stuttering Association Conference a year ago. I just want to mention

how it happened. So, we had kind of an assignment to go and ask people at the mall I think some

questions about stuttering and then come back to the group and share our findings. I don't

quite remember what the questions were. Do you remember any of those questions?

I think it was like free form, you could ask whatever you want and some suggestions were,

if you want to ask people if they know about stuttering, if they know any people that stutter,

what are they thinking about it. You could just voluntary stutter and ask

about anything. I remember just one thing from this exercise

which was that people don't know much about stuttering, that's actually what I remember

from that exercise. Basically, what I wanted to ask...

I remember that people who volunteered to go were

like people I think with kind of mild stutter so how do you say, was that a challenge for

you to go and ask people? Yeah, on the one hand it was a challenge to

go talk to strangers about that and on the other hand it was a little bit easier because

I was also with other people who stuttered, support group with me; it made it a little

bit easier. Was that the first conference for you? Or

it was like, how many times did you participate before?

I've been going to the conferences since 2010 so that was my 7th conference I think.

Did you participate in such exercise before or was that the first time?

That was the second time because they ran that workshop once before. The idea before

that, when they introduced that workshop it was little different because we went out on the

streets and we went into stores and we voluntary stuttered and just ask questions on the stores

about buying things rather than talking about stuttering.

Okay, so when you did it the first time, how did it happen that you volunteered like what

was the process going in your mind? I looked at the list of all the workshops going

on and I thought that sounded interesting and different.

I wanted to voluntary stutter more but I was always

scared to do it and I don't do it as much as I should, so I thought that was a good opportunity to

do it with people supporting me, around me to see the public, people's reactions if I

stuttered more severely than I usually do. Got it. So the first time the exercise was

about voluntarily stuttering and the second time you just got into this...and yeah it

was...got it, got it got it. Can you share just a bit your stuttering journey like how

did it start and what were like the ups and downs, maybe I don't know or like turning

points in that journey? Okay. I stutter since I was a kid but I don't

really remember. I remember labeling myself as a stutterer as a kid but I don't remember

stuttering. And it wasn't until after college that it started to affect me more and I was

a covert stutterer which I didn't know until I discovered the NSA and learned that term.

I'm pretty mild stutterer and I can hide it by switching out words, and other

technique to hide it. Once I was out of college and working, I started becoming more conscious

of it or becoming more embarrassed by anyone who turned down opportunities at work so that's

when I first sought out speech therapy and that really helped. One of the things that

helped me most about speech therapy was learning how you make all the sounds and letters

with your mouth because I would get into a block at a certain letter

and I wouldn't be able to get any sound out and I would panic. I wouldn't know

what to do so knowing like this is how your mouth and your tongue like makes this letter

and this is how you make that letter if you can't get it out. That

was the most helpful to me. And then I say at the same time and that's the first time

I've ever met somebody else who's stuttered that like 28 and that was I opened to other

people who stuttered and hearing that people had the same experiences as me like being

scared to talk on the phone or going around the table and introducing yourself and things

like that. And then eventually after a couple of years I became a chapter leader in the

National Stuttering Association. I run the Chapter and I go to the conferences

every year. So, you're still the chapter leader? Sorry

I missed that.

Oh, yeah. So I moved a couple times, I was the chapter leader in Boston and then I moved

to New Haven, Connecticut and now I'm a chapter leader in New Haven.

Got it, got it. Okay, got it. How do you see the future with stuttering like what is your

approach now, what is your attitude, how do you feel about stuttering now?

I feel much differently now than I did before I ever discovered the NSA or went to speech therapy.

I thought it was something you had to hide and you couldn't let that out; you couldn't speak

in that way. Now, like seeing all people who stutter and you stutter differently than me,

I see that it's okay and you can have all these different careers and different lives

and also stutter at the same time.

And that it's just a difference like any other difference,

like black hair or blonde hair, or height or any difference and that I've learned to advertise

my stutter. Sometimes it's going to make me feel

like I need to tell the other person that I stutter. Yeah, that's how I feel.

Okay, you mentioned voluntarily stuttering and you talked about this openness, if I say

that can you imagine, you get to a party and all new people there and they don't know that

you stutter, how would you behave, like what is your behavior right now? I understand you

stay that you're not hiding it anymore but what's going on in your mind again and how

would you behave usually in this or how would you behave in such situation?

I've used techniques a lot through speech therapy so I can manage if I do have a block, I can

manage to get the word out in some way without feeling embarrassed about it or something,

so most of the time I would probably just speak and use the techniques if I need to.

And if I do have an embarrassing stutter where I block and I feel like people are wondering

what's going on or people are laughing or something or they are uncomfortable then I

tell the person that I stutter. Like sometimes, I will stutter on my name and it will take

an extra second to get out my name and someone will make a joke like, "Oh did you forget

your name?" and then at that point I tell someone that I stutter because I was sitting

there uncomfortable that they had to make a joke. So I really only advertise it to someone

if it comes up like if I have a block. Got it. Okay and you mentioned some techniques

that you can use from the speech therapy; can you name just maybe one or two? You say

it gives some control, can you name just anything? Yeah, so like easy onset and prolongation

which are kind of the same thing have really helped like if I have a trouble on a word

that starts with letter K like cat and I can't get the K out, to know like what's happening

in my mouth or whatever and with my tongue and like know how to loosen that up and kind

of k-a-t like to loosen up on that letter and prolong it. Actually, it makes more sense to

do it with a P, if I'm like puh and I can't get the P out, so loosen it and go "p", just to

loosen things and prolong. Got it. So you kind of reduced the first consonant

and make the... this is the "easy onset" you say?

Yeah. When you kind of reduced the consonant making

it like less or yeah, got it not concentrating on the first consonant. Okay, got it. If I

ask you about your career choice and your work, do you have to speak much at work like

is speaking much involved in your work? And do you see like any connection between like

how you chose your career path with stuttering, do you see any connection there?

So there was no connection to how I chose my career path with stuttering. I didn't let

it hold me back and choose a different career than I really wanted because I stuttered. I did

what I wanted to do. I'm an engineer and in my normal day to day work, I speak with my

team, like people that I work with and I speak more like informally with people that I'm

close to that sit near me that I'm working on projects with and then I branch out if

I need to speak with different people about different things. I don't really need to make

many presentations in work, I have had different jobs and sometimes that means more or less.

I actually did just a few months ago I made my first presentation at a conference which

was a big deal for me because when I first sought out speech therapy I saw myself rejecting

opportunity to do things like that because I'll be too nervous and I don't think I can

do it well to go to a conference and make a presentation but it's good that I finally

got the opportunity to do that and I jumped at the chance and I gave a presentation to

more than a hundred people. My personal experience is that at work like

I struggled most because we kind of tend to satisfy our boss, our colleagues like to be

our best selves so maybe we're putting like more pressure on ourselves, how do you deal

with that? Do people at work know that you stutter? Are you open about it or how do you

deal with that? Now, I'm open about it. I've had three different

jobs so at my first job I was still young and I was not that open about it. When I first

discovered the NSA and I was going to my first conference I told a few people that came

up and the more that I've been with the NSA, the more I've gotten comfortable with telling

people so now at this job...and the conferences are great opportunity to bring it up because

people know you're going on vacation and it's a holiday in the US also so people like, oh,

what you're doing for the holiday? Where you're going on vacation? So you can

just say, "Oh I'm going to the city" and not tell them it's the conference or if you want

to you can tell them that it's the conference and talk about it. I use that opportunity

to tell more people and then people can ask questions if they want to and I find some

people are very curious about it and ask a lot of questions. Some people you just tell

them and that's it and then they don't care. Now, I don't talk about it all the time but

I tell people at the lunch table and stuff,

I know people know so that makes me more comfortable

if I do stutter in front of them and know that they're not wondering what's wrong.

Got it. Another question, I want to ask about kind of being active. I've had several interviews

and I found that people say like either stuttering is like pressing on you or you begin to

be more active like taking more challenges and doing more like

volunteering for this and that and stuttering moves back, how do you feel

about it? Do you agree and what happens with you, do you need to keep up with being kind

of active and volunteering and challenging yourself to do that or like new stuff, how

do you see that...I won't say fight with stuttering because we're not fighting with it but still

how do you feel about it? Being active with volunteering and stuff you

mean like with your stuttering you need to like or you mean in general, your life?

Actually, both I think. That's the question. I mean because you said that sometimes you

need to make a presentation. If you have a choice like to make a presentation or to volunteer

to make a presentation or not, how do you approach that?

Oh yeah, I've never thought about that if keeping active keeps that stuttering down or not.

That's an interesting question. I never thought about that.

Okay, because usually you know what happens with stuttering, you stutter and you kind

of focus on it. The more you focus on it, the more you stutter and this is like the

cycle that often times people just don't want to talk to anybody, they want not do anything

so for you it comes out kind of easy, that's how you deal with that circle.

Yes, yes so maybe if you were as active in the world and you'd be more focused on yourself,

you might stutter more but when you're out in the world and doing things and I guess

focused on other people and as you get older you learn that everyone is...because you think

like any flaw that you have that everybody sees it and everybody is concentrating on

it but when you get older you learn that people aren't focused on you, they're focused on

themselves and they don't see your flaws as much as you see your own flaws and as much

as you focus on it. So the more you are like with people in doing things and taking chances

and taking opportunities, I guess you're less focused on general and I guess it will stand

a little bit. But if we try to dig deeper what makes you...This

is a great conclusion that we should not focus on it too much but it doesn't happen usually

automatically so why do you think that happens for you that you're not focusing on that too

much? And was that the case all the time like usually at school people struggle because

this is the time when it's so important to...how other people view you, your friends, your

class so usually that's the...usually people say this is the kind of worst period when

they're putting a lot of pressure on them and stress, what do you say? Did you have

like that period in your life or you… Yes. No matter what I was always pretty confident

in myself even when I was growing up and stuff. I was in speech therapy last year, I went

through a cognitive behavior therapy which did help me learn a little more about how

I feel towards things and what I expect in situations and how I really feel and the worst

is not going to happen and it's not as bad as I thought it was, that had helped change

my view of things I guess. What's weird with me is that I remember when I was young and

in school and labeled myself as a stutterer but I don't really have...I remember like

if you're reading in class and everyone had to read paragraph, you look ahead to which

paragraph you have to read and see what words and letters where in that paragraph for you

to be nervous about but I don't have really many vivid memories of stuttering or being

laughed out or being self-conscious about it. I remember being nervous about like in

those reading situations or introducing yourself sometimes but I don't really have the severe

memories that a lot of people who stutter have of like being really self-conscious about

it or being laughed at which is surprising. Got it. Often times people say I need more

confidence; if I have more confidence then I will stutter less. Yeah, you mentioned the

confidence and the other I don't know cognitive; this is more like a psychological stuff, right?

So do you feel that much of that stuttering problem people are facing is the psychological

piece?

Yeah, it was called cognitive behavior therapy. I think a lot of stuttering is the psychological

piece especially with the covert stuttering. Have you heard of the iceberg analogy of stuttering?

Yeah, actually yeah. Okay.

Still with the overt stutterer or someone who stutters more severely there's more stuttering

above the surface that other people can see. They still have the feelings below the surface

in the iceberg. With the covert stutterer there may not be much above the surface, they

may appear normal to other people like people told me in the past, "Oh you don't stutter"

and I'm like "No, yes I do" but there's so little in the surface that other people

don't notice but they are still the same amount underneath the surface that you still have

the same fears, anxieties and feelings about it; especially for a covert stutterer it's

more about the anticipation of speaking and the nervousness before you speak and the nervousness

while you're speaking than the fact that you're physically going duh, duh, duh or blocking

I totally agree. Okay, if we kind of eliminate

or reduce that fear of being revealed, we kind of remove a lot of stress and anxiety

that's the idea.

Yeah. So for a covert stutterer a lot of is in like desensitization, so desensitize yourself

to people's reactions because most of what is in your head is like what people's reactions

are going to be like, "Oh I stutter then this person is going to react like this" and it's

all imagined or anticipated. It's like you're imagining what people are going to do or going

to think. So that's why voluntary stuttering helps because if you actually go and stutter, you

do what you nervous about, you do what you are scared of and like see how people react

and then you learn, "Oh it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. People don't

react as bad as I thought that they're going to. And that makes you realize, i don't have

to be so nervous if I let out a stutter because if I let out a stutter then that's not a big

deal because people don't react as poorly as I expect.

Got it. So if to put like this cognitive behavior thing in simple words, is it mostly about

like feeling that everything okay with me and being kind of open about whatever or however

you might look or appear or you would put it in a different way somehow? Like what was

the major thing for you out of that cognitive behavioral thing?

All the stuff that you imagine, you kind of like list the things you are scared of happening

and then say, well if that happens what's the worst that's going to happen? You go like;

I'm scared of stuttering at work. Why are you scared of stuttering at work? Because

I feel like you know my boss will know I stutter and he'll think I'm incompetent and I'll get fired and

I lose my job. Like the worst thing that you could imagine that can come from it, and kind of teach

yourself like, that's ridiculous, that's not going to happen. Your boss knows you stutter

like no big deal and nothing actually going to happen, like nothing that bad is

going to happen. Stop coming up with these ridiculous situations or like if you call

someone on the phone and you have always imagined what's going to happen but that's not really

going to happen. Okay. And maybe even if you get fired this

is still not the end of the world. Great! It's not the end of the world, that's

a good way to put it. Maybe sometimes it means a good thing. Like for many people

say that they got so successful because they were fired basically one day so...

Okay. One more thing I wanted to ask,

if I say public speaking,

what do you feel about it or how do you feel about it?

Well, right now I feel more confident about it because I just went to this work conference

in June and gave this presentation and it was actually fun. It was like I got over like

this thing that I never did before and I'm like and it was exciting and I'd like to do

it again. So on the one hand, before I do it, I'm nervous and stuff like I was a maid

of honor in my friend's wedding and I had to give a speech at the wedding, I was very

nervous about that. When I did that I got through it and it went great. This work conference,

I got through that and it went great, so the more I do it, the more I learn. It is easy

and fun. If I practice enough, I'll stutter less because if I don't know what I'm going

to say that's when I stutter more but if I practice a lot and I know what I'm planning

to say and I know the words and I practice the words that I plan to say, as long I have

time to practice I feel confident about it. And I probably even feel more confident than

some people who don't stutter because everyone is nervous about public speaking, even people

who don't stutter. And there are people who don't stutter who would never do public

speaking because they're too scared of it, so I'm actually probably more confident

than they do. Right, right. Okay and with this confidence

thing like, what would you advise or what would you tell a person who is saying that

I lack confidence, I just don't know where to start with this confidence thing, I just

lack it and that's it, I just don't know where to get it. And you know confidence it sounds

like something we can go and buy or like a pill we need to swallow, I'm more confident.

Where would I start with my confidence? That's a tough one because I feel like

somewhat it's like engrained

because I always been confident my whole life and people have told me like

more than the average person. I don't have the experience much with like

not being confident and then gaining more confidence, I mean I guess on a small scale.

It's just kind of knowing yourself and liking yourself and being comfortable with yourself,

like if you're happy with yourself when you're alone with yourself like you have to be happy

with yourself like that like I'm very happy with myself when I'm alone, I mean my alone

time. And to just know that you're a good person and you like yourself as a person but

I don't how to get there, I don't have it... Got it, got it. This is a good point, so confidence

starts with kind of self-worth and self-esteem, how you feel about yourself.

Yeah.

So if you kind of feel fine about yourself then probably your confidence...

Yeah, that's like to let other people's reactions roll off your back because like do not give

too much credit to other people's reactions to you; to be like I know I love myself, I

know I'm a good person and if this person over here doesn't like me or looks down on me then

I don't really care about that person, like I don't really care what they think of me.

Like that was one thing cognitive behavior therapy. To not give too much credit to what other

people think like why would you be nervous about stuttering in front of other people

because you're scared of what they think of you. But if you're like, I don't care what

they think of me then you won't be nervous about stuttering. Did you not nervous about

stuttering when your home alone talking to your pet and so it's only because you're

talking to other people and you're sacred what they think but if you say I don't care

what they think then you can gain more confidence.

Yeah! And you said a very interesting thing about being kind or something or being

a good person, it sound to me like this and I think this is a very good idea I mean when

we measure ourselves in terms of our skills and qualities, what we can do or cannot then

we kind of put a lot of pressure and anxiety maybe when we start measuring ourselves from

the point of view how good I am, I'm just a good person and that's it. I don't need

any special skills...

Yeah.

Maybe looking at the core of yourself like are you a good person maybe a good way to lift

your self-esteem because you eliminate those skill sets, hierarchies, the steps you need

to go so everything goes away. You just have the nutshell of you and that's it.

Yeah. That's good way to put it.

Yeah! Great. Okay, going back to the confidence thing when I asked you about this interview,

this is a new thing. Maybe you've done interviews in your life or maybe you haven't but this

particular thing is a new one, how did you like did it take a long time to process that

and to kind of agree to that or was it like as you say very natural for you or did you

go through some struggles about this?

Well, I've been interviewed once before about stuttering. I don't know if you met Daniele

Rossi at the conference?

Yeah, we haven't I think spoke but I understand who you're talking about.

So he does like an interview thing like a podcast.

Right he has a podcast, right.

He had been asking me for years to be on his podcast and at first I was like no, no, no and

then finally after a few years I gave in and I said Okay, I'll do it. And aside from that

I think last year and so when you asked it was like a similar thing and I was okay, I've

done this before and I think I was kind of flattered with what you said and you said

you have the courage and I was kind of flattered so that helped. So yeah, because I had done

it before, I have some time to do it. So I didn't think about it that much, I said yes

pretty soon.

So a big conclusion about it is that the confidence grows when you do it the second time and the

third and the fourth, the confidence grows. So you are doing it the second time same as

with the exercise at the conference you did the second time and every next time probably

you have more confidence because you haven't died because of the previous one. Maybe you

are even had a good experience out of that. Got it. So, may be its important just

to start and see how it goes. I See.

Yes, just jump in and yeah. Got it. So, basically just a couple of questions

I want to ask. Regarding you as a person who stutters, do you see like a goal in front of you or

you just don't see yourself much like you don't see stuttering as big part of your life

actually. So, do you want to do anything else with your stuttering or it's just something

that doesn't, it just not stopping you back in your life so you don't think much about

it? Or do you have like perspective, do you have any way to go like usually people say

I want to improve or I want to like do something. So do you see that something in front of you

or it's not holding me back and that's it.

So when I first sought out stuttering therapy when I didn't know anything yet, I guess my

goal was like I thought I have to get rid of it but now like I've learned that's not

goal anymore. I pretty much reached the goal I guess which I didn't realize that at the

beginning was my goal but just to become confident what's important is not the stuttering but

communication and it doesn't matter how you say something but as long as you get your

point across and you communicate what's in your head to somebody else then that's what

matters even if you stutter horribly on it, you don't want to hold back and use different

words and say something different from what you mean because you're scared of stuttering

on those words so you use a different word instead. I've pretty much reached that. You don't

hold back if you want to say something and then you're like, I'm not going to say it

at all because I'm going to stutter on it, then you didn't communicate what you wanted

to. So communication I guess is a big goal. I'm pretty much there. There's always

going to be like sometimes when you might like switch out a word, or

say not what you want to say because it's a situation or person that you're a little

more nervous with, so there's always like a little steps at the end 'til I just get

a little better at always saying what you want to say and always speaking up when you

want to and not letting any situation or any person make you embarrassed or make you nervous

or making you anxious. So, I'm pretty much at my goal but just a little more situations

that I want to work on.

Got it. And maybe the last question. I often hear like people see that stuttering as a

monster like holding them again back in their life, what is freedom from stuttering for

you? Like do you feel free from the limitations that it can bring?

Probably like 95%, yeah. Like when I first sought out speech therapy when I didn't know

anything at all, I was like and said to myself, "Oh I can't do that because I stutter. I can't

do my presentation because I stutter or I can't meet that new person

and introduce myself because I stutter

or I guess I can't do things. I don't say that anymore. Sometimes I'm like, "Oh

I want to say this word or I want to say this is this way and when I say it in different

way because I'm nervous of stuttering in front of that person so I'm not 100% free but that's

only a little bit of time so probably I'm at 95% free from being held back from my stutter.

Okay, maybe one more question. Sorry for taking your time.

That's okay.

I also hear that people say and you said that speech therapy helps you in some ways, so

would you kind of advise people to go and get speech therapy or what would be your advice?

I think it's different for every person and I think everyone should at least try it. They

don't have to commit to it but try it. And every speech therapist is different like I

moved to different cities so I've had different speech therapist, some are better for me,

some are not. I would say everyone like to try it and see it helps for them and if not

that's okay too if they want to stop going. I mean it depends on what's important to each

person is being authentic...it works for me, I guess I may have some still authentic and

I can like not panic in a block now and I can know that I have a way of getting that

word out. But this is different for different people. Everyone should try, I mean in general

not even without stuttering people should always try things and they can decide if it

works for them or not. Always give it a chance.

Got it. Because in your stuttering puzzle I see there you name two pieces, one is speech

therapy which helped you really somehow not panic as you say because you kind of understand

it better. And the second piece is this confidence and self-esteem, like seeing yourself as being

okay just as a person. So probably both pieces are important for you, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah I think that's a good way to put it.

But the self-esteem and how you view yourself, you would probably value more as it sounds,

would you say or...

Yeah, yeah I value the self-esteem and confidence a little more than the techniques and knowledge,

yeah.

Got it, got it. Okay, this was a beautiful interview. Thank you so much! I hope to see

you next time at the conference. Did you go to Dallas this year?

Yeah, I went to Dallas.

You did, you did. I didn't but I'm sure I'll go to the next one, to Chicago, so hope to

see you there.

Yeah, thank you. These are very good questions because I really didn't know what to expect

or what would we really talk about. I think you have really insightful questions and really

prepared so I think yeah you went well. So, you're thinking of going to the US one next year

in Chicago?

Sure I will. I will for sure. If you got free from stuttering or improved

your speaking or just have something to share, let me know, tell us about your experience,

become part of this project. So do you think it's possible to overcome stuttering? Is it

worth trying? Leave a comment. For more videos subscribe to this Youtube channel, head over

This is a short demonstration about how to use the Ergobaby Omni 360 Carrier in the front-inward

carry position with criss-cross straps.

You can carry your baby in this position from birth.

Just follow these four quick steps!

First, check the seat is adjusted to your baby's size, is set up on the outer, black

buttons, and shoulder straps are released and loosened.

Second, securely fasten the waist-belt.

Make sure to wear it high on your waist with an infant, so baby is close enough to kiss.

Tighten until you get a snug fit.

Third, pick up your baby, bring her tummy-to-tummy, and lower her deep in the carrier seat, below

the waist belt level.

Pull the back panel around her back, aligning the top at mid-ear level for a young baby

for proper head support.

Fourth, cross one shoulder strap on your back, and securely fasten it on the opposite side,

while holding baby with the other arm.

Tighten.

Repeat this with the second shoulder strap.

Tighten the shoulder straps evenly on both sides so baby is centered and you feel comfortable.
