Way to bridge that cultural gap!

Wow, bless her heart! I am reading a book right now that deals with that very issue. It's called "Deaf Life Me", and it makes me so sad people wouldn't let the kids learn ASL!

That's interesting. A friend of my mom's is going deaf in one ear from a tumor. I had never heard of that happening before. She was already HoH. I told her that her friend should start learning sign ASAP, but she said that won't happen; her friend is in her 60's, and even if she did learn...

Liebling, someone at work recommended those to me too. I read them and they are very good. And I got them at Half Price Books!

This man is sitting in a bar, drinking. He says to the bartender, "Give me another one, and keep them coming!" The bartender says, "i'm cutting you off...you've had enough." The man says, "I'm fine, and I can prove it! If I was drunk, I wouldn't be able to see that one-eyed cat coming in...

Funny! Dashboard and kwitit had me rollin'.

My daughter and her class signed a song to perform for the grandparents on Valentine's Day. Her teacher has a degree in deaf education and teaches the kids a lot of sign.

Batman! Strong, mysterious, intelligent, a man of his convictions, and he has a cool car!

If all the adult men in the mddle east are dead, then who's fathering those ladies' babies? :lol:

Baby Angel, I'm so sorry about your cousin and your best friend. What a tragedy! I can't imagine the heartache you're having to endure right now, but as time goes by you'll think more about the good times you had with them and it will get easier, though right now it probably doesn't feel like...

I'm not a Christian, but I can't imagine Jesus hitting kids. Glad you posted this, CorasMama. The metaphor about sparing the rod and spoiling the child is taken way too literally. Shepherds don't use their rods for hitting their sheep, but for guiding them.

Thanks Angel, my mom and I made our peace a long time ago. I guess no one ever told her about star charts.

I thinkt there is a point of betrayal beyond which you just can't return. Everyone just has a different point.

Ouch! That would teach me to wear a cup.

Yes, that's very lucky. My dad split when I was 3 and we never saw him again. My granddaddy was a good father figure for us growing up, so I guess I was lucky too. Dads like ours probably don't wouldn't give the best advice anyway.

OceanBreeze, if you have ADD, doesn't that mean you over-mullti-task?! My daughter has ADHD and she is always doing 10 things at once!

My grandmother always told me, "If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" She was a very independent thinker. My sister always tells me, "Stick to lemonade at the company party."

Finish college. Now that I have, she'll have to think up something else.

Never knew him, thank goodness.

Congrats on the new baby! I know you must be soooooo happy right now!!!! (And glad the baby is out.) :welcome: baby girl!
