I realized what she meant and jumped out to retrieve my hat. I then signed thank you. She signed back "you are welcome".It was a pleasant thing and made me feel good to be able to do that.
Lucky you for having time to surf the net on this. I enrolled on a sign language class, they assign a hearing impaired teacher for us. We are not allowed to write.. only sign or spell. Only when there is no mutual understanding on what we are saying and what the teacher is telling, only then it resorts to writing. It helps since it pushed us to sign more than write.

Signing helped me out in two things; one getting to know the deaf community, reaching out more friends and engage pro-actively in the deaf society and number two; help repel salesperson who would try to sell you some sh*tty stuffs by signing "i am deaf" (pls mind my language. )
