Steinhauer's post on the baltic sea anomaly made me think if this story that I've been reading about for a while. I don't know why it fascinates me so much, but it does: We used to think agriculture gave rise to cities and later to writing, art, and religion. Now the world’s oldest temple...

And has basic common sense rather than book knowledge. Really, anybody who thinks signing would delay speech is somebody who just totally lacks real life, practical, common sense. It's outrageous that 'professionals' continue to deny a language to children until they've jumped through a series...

I just barely recognized one or two. My mother wouldn't buy commercial cereal, if we wanted it, we had to buy it ourselves. She bought oatmeal and generic cheerios, or we ate eggs and biscuits (from scratch). I also didn't have television until I was 7 or so, and then we never had cable, so not...

I think they should be in school, but no extra curricular activities at all- no sports, no clubs, just academics. The should also have to do a year of community service at a nursing home- not together, each one by himself or herself, with supervision. And their parents should have marched...

That's really interesting. Are they a sibling group, or are you the go-to family for deaf kids in foster care?

My neighbor died in a car accident this week, leaving her husband of 25 years and two children, a 21 year old, or there abouts, boy, and a 13 year old girl. She was a lovely person. My husband and daughter were on their way home and got stuck in traffic (and we live in the country- there is no...

I wouldn't ask to drive somebody else's car, either, and I don't drop in on people. I also don't ask to borrow anything more significant than a book or a movie.

Beautiful.

So what do you think it is?

Chicken, peppers and rice noodles. 21 year old cooked.

:giggle: Everybody needs a good laugh now and then. Glad to be able to provide one.:wave:

I am totally in favor of breastfeeding. Have no problem with breastfeeding in public. Extended breastfeeding is awesome (the longest I was able to nurse was two years with one of mine, but the rest were breastfed until at least one). But not in military uniform, at least in public. If you're in...
