My family (on both sides) have been 100% Coke for generations...when I order a Coke at an unfamiliar restaurant and the waiter says, "I'm sorry, is Pepsi okay?" I change my order to water. I'm either going to pay for a Coke or get free water....oddly, when I have friends that order Pepsi in a...

Thank you!

Cool! Thank you for being so helpful!

Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! I am very aware that classes really are the best, but we are both full time graduate students who teach and/or intern so our time to sit down and learn things is usually around 11 at night. Internet is also something we're gonna do...

Anyone? Anyone?

I found out I was hard of hearing almost 4 years ago and have worn hearing aids ever since. I have sporadically been learning ASL over the years b/c 1) I work with special needs students who use and 2) I may eventually lose all of my hearing and need to communicate Anyways, so when I found...

I never understood why children in elementary school would be punished for being late to school since it's usually the parents' responsibility to get them up and going in the morning.

I don't believe in grouping all hearing people together (or any culture/race for that matter). Most of my hearing friends are extremely considerate in talking to me and the ones that aren't were like that BEFORE I lost my hearing. Individual habits of certain people bug me, such as my mother...

I lived in a state that didn't do DST until I was in college. I still don't like it and don't understand why it just can't be the time it is...(I get the logistics behind it, but I still think it's stupid) When I was a kid, thought DST was the time twice a year where some of our tv shows...

Is it bad that I REALLY REALLY want to quote (and cite) this in my midterm tomorrow when discussing Utilitarianism

Personally, if I died and my friends were doing something to help others who have a chance to live, I'd be completely fine with them skipping my funeral. A funeral is just ONE way to honor someone who has passed on. Shatner and Nimoy had known each other for decades and friendships like that...

This is absolutely ridiculous...pediatricians should WANT to help any child regardless of race, social/economic status, sexual orientation (child's or parents')....I'm curious as to what "God" she was praying to that told her to not help an infant... I became a teacher because I WANTED to help...

Personally, I think ALL cars should have a breathalyzer where it won't start if above the legal limit (I know the legal limit is different in every state, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a national one in this case)

I LOVE roller coasters, especially the huge ones with loops! They're the only reason I go to amusement parks, really. Oddly enough though, I HATE ferris wheels. They scare me. It's the rocking that I don't like. I don't feel like I'm well protected on one.

You deserve a medal!! I'm HoH and have been trying to learn ASL because 1)I'm gradually losing my hearing and it may end up completely gone, and 2)I am a special education teacher for children with severe/multiple disabilities and Sign is a wonderful way to teach communication for them...

I think this is a rather difficult question to truly answer. While we do have our personal preferences, the truth is, none of us can ever actually experience both and make a truly informed choice. I was born hearing and have been gradually losing it since the 3rd grade so I have had a different...

I was born hearing and started gradually losing it in 3rd grade. I am HoH and require hearing aids. Since I was born hearing, I have only ever been in the hearing world. It makes me sad to hear stories about people being cruel to those who are D/deaf/HoH. I have been very fortunate and have yet...

If I had to choose between my child having autism or being deaf, I would choose deaf in a heartbeat... However, I do not believe for one second that vaccines cause autism. I personally believe it's Biological. Genetic. Would I vaccinate my children? H*lls yeah, I would!! It's absurd that it...

I would do everything I possibly could to help them. It would be scary for them and whether or not the general public was there for my hearing loss doesn't matter to me. If I could help someone, I'm going to...the past is the past and we could change things...

I love Link to the Past the most!!!
