[begin rant on education] That's because our schools are so focused on having students pass tests in reading and math (which they still can't pass) that they don't teach them anything else. And they cut budgets. I was a science teacher before I became a homeschool mom. When I went on maternity...

Try ginger ale. Pour it into a glass, then stir it around with a straw for a little while until its nice and flat. No more fizz. The ginger actually does help upset stomachs. Cola works nicely too. That's what I used for my stomach bugs and pregnancies.

I've never had this type of problem, but I would say if they call again, have your mother call back as she did before (unless you want to do it through a VRS or something...not deaf, not sure what is available on your cell) and when they ask for a name, give them a fake name. If they say that's...

We actually had a tree branch come down from the ice. I was going to say "limb", but I dont know if its big enough to be considered "limb". It's at least 5 or 6 feet long, though. Not just a little thing. As far as snow, hubby's clearing now. It looks like at least another foot on top of what...

Let's see: When I was little, I went to Yankee Stadium (the old one) once or twice. Maybe more; I was little. As an adult, I've been to the new Mets Stadium (Citifield?). I have been to the local minor league field once or twice. I have also been to Fenway, but not for a game (it was to...

From where I'm sitting at my kitchen table, I glanced over at the thermometer to check the temperature. I thought it said "88" degrees. Then, I realized it was 8.8 degrees. Goes to show the importance of that decimal point!

I love the books by JD Robb. And the Harry Potter series. I still reread those. But, my favorite book of all time is The Secret Garden, by Burnett. I forgot how many times I have read it, I have seen every movie (along with a sequel I don't recommend), I gave it to my niece for her birthday a...

Sappy Love-bug

See? I knew the answer had to be posted somewhere and I just couldn't find it. Thanks! :P

I always found bribes helpful when I was a kid. 10 minutes of jogging, and s/he gets an extra 10 minutes of video games or tv or whatever kids are into these days. :lol:

I know how you feel. My son is jumping off the arm of the couch (onto the floor) because the park and his swing set are covered in snow. I just want to be able to go outside. Cant even walk up and down the street because our road is all iced over from last night's flurries.

It reminds me of the weinermobile. I don't know why. They're not related. I think its the rounded edges. :)

I have a random question. I was looking at the various threads being posted and I noticed some have a red envelope beside them and some have a yellowish/whitish envelope. I know it's not due to whether or not I have opened the thread, since there are threads I've read and or responded to in...

Didn't that happen in the last Winter Olympics, too?

I dunno if you have already tried these, but I did a quick google search and found: Deaf Austrailia Sign Planet (I was aiming for the forums page) VicDeaf (Scroll to the bottom and they have some forums and links to clubs, etc. They are Melbourne based) Hope this helps. Good luck!
