2 quotes comes to mind about what I've learned about the human behavior; Common sense isn't quite so common. Fools think they're wise, but the wise knows they are fools.

I got spinal meningitis secondary to a babysitting incident. I was 1 yrs old. Parents didn't realize I was deaf/hoh until 3 yrs later. According to my mom, I almost expired during the hospitalization. Also said I had to relearn how to walk, coordination, etc... Good thing that children's...

Ha ha, I've had some similar experiences. My roommate in college was hitting on this girl down in the lobby, and I was walking by. He called out my name, but I didn't hear, so he just said, oh he's just deaf. The girl hit him, & said that wasn't nice. Because apparently I'm too "cute" to be...

yeah, San diego is bottom of the barrel. I guess I'll have to manage somehow :cool: What part of SoCal are you from?

I was suprised like everyone here was. I checked the box as it had the bold CC, asked the salesman and he said it had it. At first I was really happy as I was watching HD cable & the captions were working. But when I tried DVD, I usually put the subtitles on as I assumed there was no CC. But...

I hope they don't ignore the new formats. Right now I'm investing in the HD-DVD and would love it if they did the CC for the bonus on it as well. I'm planning on getting the Ultimate Matrix collection in HD-DVD in May(made by WB). While, I'm not investing in the Bluray camp yet, I hope they...

Well, I guess it's my turn to put on the sticker "Hello" my name is:" I'm Andrew, but my friends calls me Andy. Andrew is usually reserved for people who are pissed at me (aka, parent), or professionally. I'm 28 years old, a recent transplant to San Diego from the midwest(Indiana). I am...

I've studied a little psychology, so I may be able to provide a little insight. There really isn't a one "set" explaination nor rationale as the gothic culture has envolved from it's initial manifisation or purpose. First, the gothic culture may have been inspired as a way of saying; I'm...

Sorry to hear of your friends passing. I unfortunately had my father pass about a month ago, and looked into the flight situations as I had to fly from Cali to Indiana, so I will share what I've found & discovered (I was suprised). Most airlines do offer a bereavement policy, however there...
