Thanx LovingLife! I am also hearing, and have just finished 2 years of ASL classes at Purdue. I also took the Culture class, but some of this was not covered there. So I am learning from your questions too!

We have a fireplace. It's in the rec room downstairs, so it doesn't really heat the whole house. Does that count? Can you burn coal indoors in a wood burning stove? I thought you had to have a special stove for coal, because it burns hotter, and releases carbon monoxide. I'm city folk, so I...

Wow! Just wow! As a hearing person, and member of this community, I am knocked over by all this "why can't you understand me" stuff expressed by hearing family members of Deaf people. I have read about it in the Deaf Culture class, and some Deaf people I have met have told me their families...

Where I come from, if you interview a Deaf person for a project, they must sign your paper, indicating that you actually did interview them, and that the final paper is accurate. Is this not the case at other schools? It certainly would eliminate a lot of that post-and-run behavior.

We will be staying home this year (northwest Indiana), everyone is coming to our house. Not too big of a crowd; hubby's 2 brothers (from Chicago suburbs), my sister and her husband (also northwest Indiana). Hubby will make most of the traditional foods, I'll make the vegetarian main dish(es) and...

Confessions...hmmm...so many...here are some I'm willing to share: I've lived alone a lot, so I'm not easliy scared. But here are some things that absolutely terrify me: * clowns, mimes, ventriloquist dolls, The Burger King * those big wind turbines * spider "faces" * throwing up * math...

Sock monkeys scare me. :Ohno: :giggle: Hi dogmom, Botti!

Holmes, I tried adding you but it says Name not found. I'm not very good at techno-stuff.

Me? Not two years. My last post was in April. Life just accelerated and I went off on some tangents as I sometimes do. I'm glad to be back. I remember a lot of names, but of course, many are new to me. Hello to all, old friends and new!

The good thing that happened to me today is that I was able to come back here after a long time away. :wave:

My sister says if a woman nags, it really says a lot about the man! He's not upholding his part of the bargain, doing things he promised to do! :giggle:

Awesome Bottesini! :ty: :ty: :ty: Don't know why I couldn't find that anywhere.
