Cath, this is not very supportive. Sorry. I asked my sister, the self-styled know-it-all about the deaf world (and almost everything else). I explained that you are an innovative, creative person, but she insists that we should avoid creating new signs. There is already enough confusion with...

Ha ha ha, like a sailor on a ship a long time at sea. Never bend over to pick up soap you dropped.

Thanks. Ha ha ha, it's lucky that Kay is cute enough for both of us. OVER MY DEAD BODY!

Extremists tend to make things bad for us all. Back to teachers who obtain concealed weapons carry permits. With regard to willingness to protect themselves and their students, they are almost always a cut above the average rent-a-cop and can make the difference between life and death while...

Ha ha ha, you're a good sport, Royale. Not everyone here has a sense of humor.

I don't understand all the reasons for it, but it's a fact of life, so I cope with it. 1. Take shower together for fun and energy conservation. Time varies. 2. She gets out to begin minimum 2-hour ordeal to get ready; I stay in another 6 minutes to brush teeth and shave. 3. Ten...

Kay, my girlfriend. We're on the winding stairs of Yaquina Head Lighthouse on the Oregon coast. Yes, yes, yes (rapid nodding of S-hand). Your turn.

Here's an old skydiving song every jumper should learn: “Blood on the Risers” To the tune of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” “Is everybody happy?” cried the pilot taking off. Our hero boldly shouted “Yes!” as they climbed aloft. The spot came, he jumped right out, waving as he left . ...

Who is Vamproxy? Whomever, it's a cool name, much easier to say and write than VamPyroX. The meaning would be a substitute or stand-in vamp, right. Oops, maybe this is going off topic.

There are many Greek myths in human form. Zeus is the chief god. Is he the one you're thinking of?

This ASL idiom is a single sign repeated, often three times. Depending on the situation and your facial expression, it can mean, “What are you doing?” . . . with eyebrows raised or following a “you” sign. It can also mean, “How do I get out of this mess?” . . . with a helpless look or...

Just because one doesn't believe that global warming is mostly man-made, doesn't mean that person doesn't believe in and practice conservation and ecology. I grew up on a farm, the original conservationists and recylers. I'm back living in the country now where I heat and cook some things...

Ha ha ha, my favorite saying. Kay made a plaque for me saying, "When pigs fly!"

This essay is right up my ally, because I taught English and history before retiring. My response will be only a thumbnail, nothing in depth: From an English teacher’s casual point of view: 1. The paper forms a good argument, is written well, and has very good spelling, punctuation, and...

I'm sure my clues weren't the clearest. Anyway, Bottesini is the winner by one minute. Go, Botti, go!

Nope, that's not the name of tourist attraction where giant Paul Bunyun and Babe his blue ox are. I've been there at least twenty times since the 1940s. I was there last year when I drove to the Bay Area to see my sister.

Yep. That's what my big sister signs while laughing whenever I trade the family milk cow for magic beans. Your turn, Botti.

You lost me on Route 254, NorCal, but I'm sure all the other items of interest are there. What's the name of that tourist attraction I've visited many times since a little boy?

Good. My next wild guess would have been "clown's earring," ha ha ha. This two-word ASL idiom means gullible belief, but sounds like something a bigger sea creature does to smaller swimmers. It is a shortened form of the English idiom, “hook, line, and sinker.” 1. The tip of the...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this tourist attraction is within the Redwood National Forest. 4. End of Trail northwest Indian museum. 5. Along Highway 101. 6. One living tree has a tunnel large enough for a compact car to drive through.
