    Stick with your own kind? or Mix it up!

    I agree that for many people it is not a matter of racism and I do not even think its a matter of racial preference but instead cultural preference. I was forewarned about Hispanic men, by other Hispanic women. They were stereotyped to be expectant of submission from their wives and that...

    Don, I would not worry. YOu have a legitimate reason for your difficulty. I have come across individuals missing digits of their fingers, or fingers completely. The Deaf individuals signing with them have no difficulty understanding them. I take a bit to do so, but that is because it is not my...

    Savannah cats banned from Australia ...

    I wonder if they would extend the definition to the Bengal breed... I do not know how destructive they are, they have wildcat genes. But I know they are also sold several generations separated from their wildcat forefathers/mothers so that they are not feral to their owners.

    Second wife resembling the first wife....

    True, hehe, although it can be very common. I notice mostly not a physical resemblance but mannerisms tend to be the same. We do indeed seek out people we find familiar, like someone whom is like our mother/father. If we were close to them and if we value their qualities as a person. For...

    Sleep Disorders

    I have had insomnia problems for the last 6 years... some suggestions that have worked for me include that if you cannot fall asleep within a half hour of laying down and get restless, get up. Do NOT read or watch tv, it stimulates the mind and the light can stop release of melatonin, the body's...

    Your Very First Website...

    I went online for the first time in early 1997... While I'm sure I saw whatever our dialup homepage was first I do not remember it. I visited a place called volcano java chat I believe it was... my best friend had shown it to me and we went there all the time in lieu of talking on the phone.

    Rings Are Symbolic of What?

    I watched a program offering the hypothesis that wedding ring derive from a 'barbaric' time in human history. While man was still a nomadic creation they would steal women for mates and bind them for a period of time so they could not run away. Eventually they did not tie them up but tied a...

    Deaf activist sues county, city over arrest, jail stay

    I disagree with this. I think that the emotional and physical harm he endured plus the violation of his rights is sufficient basis for the law suit. His family tried to file a missing person's report because they were not in contact with him. A hearing inmate offered to contact his family for...

    People keep posting while I'm writing! :laugh2: I feel like such a chatter bug right now.... Good for you to be so bold! It is a pity other parents do not take such an initiative. Simply trying to change their children to live completely in the hearing world. My first teacher was hearing with...

    Oh my goodness, I remember doing that back in high school! Ha, how silly it sounds now. I would never dare do that to one of the Hispanic people I meet at the grocery store because I was taking classes. I know a lot of students do it too... I even feel the urge to sometimes, well I mean sign...
