He's got it right - GLBT are still oppressed in many areas of the country. Plus, many gay people are still very much in the closet and this helps them find "like" kind so they can feel normal once in a while even if they hide most of the time. All kinds of groups band together - NAACP, Deaf...

We're on the same page I guess. I got the exact same response. And it's totally right. I've known I was bi for a very long time and have been with both, though I'm married now. But hubbie is cool about it - and not cool in the sense that he's jumping to bring one in - but respectful cool. I've...

I was a 5 on a scale of -52 to 52, with 0 being bi. For the most part, you are bisexual. You have a slight preference for the opposite gender, but either gender would suit you. If you are sexually inexperienced, it is possible that this will change after you do some experimenting. Don't...

You're still bi - just not acting on it. I don't think it can be shut off completely even if you choose not to act on it.

Problem is Florida has a crappy system in general. Born and raised there. Unfortunately, the child will probably get lost in the system. But damn, ten kids - the woman needs her uterus taken out! Why is it that most of the time, it's the stupid people have ten kids and the intelligent ones...

They're already having sex - whether you want to admit the reality or not. We can tell them sex before marriage is not ok if you want, but personally, my kids are going to know what condoms and sex are all about long before they reach "the age." Why? My job as a parent is to educate them, and...

Exactly! I mean how stupid are these people? Though I suppose we should glad their stupid genes aren't continuing, I still feel sorry for the innocent children that die -and the sad thing is that this happens all the time. It just happened in N. Georgia recently - fortunately someone saw the...

APparently they need to teach the kids not to pick trash up off the ground too, according to this story. Lord knows my three-year-old is constantly trying to pick up old candy, and other trash to see what it is. At five, with the parent there, I find it hard to believe the kid "found" a ten-pack...

He didn't. I was in FLorida for 2004 and people were catching the machines without paper trails change their vote at the end of voting. One TV channel did a piece on it I remember and then it died - Jeb Bush was in charge. My mom said in 2000, people who were democratic, black etc... were being...

Personally, I think it's time to stop voting by party and by person or issue. We need someone who is business savy, familiar with foreign relations and understands the workforce/education needs of our country as well.

While I hate Bush, I have to agree. only thing we can do as a nation is move forward and deal with the hand we've got. Besides, the line-up behind him is even worse, though it's Cheney really running things because Bush has no brains.

First of all, we have oil execs in the house - Bush is heavily involved with them, Condi used to be upper level Chevron employee. Second, if you think the economy is back on its feet, I totally disagree. The housing market is crashing, stocks aren't that great, salaries are stagnant...

I have a friend who's boy has sensory issues. He is older than mine by a year, but still weighs less, but is thriving well. She just fed in bits and pieces. She also found a therapist to work with him on the sensory issues. She was also fortunate to find a preschool who understood his needs. If...

One would think they would have bigger concerns than this......

Prior to SB 10, students had to be referred to a deaf school in Ga. with this new bill, as long as the student attempted one year in public school and had an IEP, the parent could place the student at GSD or AASD without permission from the home school or state, pending acceptance to the deaf...

The Georgia legislature was very kind to deaf people this session I believe. From what I know, three pieces were passed in favor of the deaf community - the deaf bills of rights, allowing sign language to be a satisfy high school language requirements, and they established a seven person deaf...

Maybe try really small meals throughout the day so she doesn't have a big meal in one sitting. It might be too much to sit still. Mine is hearing, but can't sit still and doesn't want to eat much of anything on his plate most days (though you wouldn't know it looking at him!). We just do it in...

I would disagree about oralism only. My son is hearing (we believe but are checking) and we have done "oralism" naturally since both my husband and I are just learning sign, but he is picking up both because I am teaching him as I learn (I learn faster as I teach him). The signing has actually...

I feel your pain. I am learning ASL and different books have different signs for different things, even though both are ASL. At this point, I am using what will stick with me, and I figure as I get more fluent, I will be able to adapt.

My DVD player and TV both have captioning capabilities. It's a requirement when we purchase them. My husband doesn't need them, and has had to get used to it, but we won't buy without. There are no CC or subtitle options. Trust me. I looked! :( Though it appears that the main character uses...
