    In Memory of Steve Irwin

    I'm sure Steve Irwin would have been disappointed to hear that remark towards the stingray. He would have loved it just the same as always. I guess he would have liked to hear that his death was not in vain, but brought an increased awareness and appreciation towards all creatures on this earth...

    Do I Understand?

    This is perhaps a little difficult for me to say, as it is saying something against my Mom. Mom did what she thought was best for my interests. She never asked me what I wanted or needed. Then again, she never asked Dad if he was watching the show when she claimed ownership of the TV remote...

    Extreme temperatures leave California's Homeless Children in danger

    Sounds to me like it's time to tackle the homeless issue rather than band-aiding the heat issue.

    Highest speed you have achieved in your car/truck?

    Stupidest thing I ever did (I think - did a lot of stupid things) was 105 mph in my 1960 Plymouth Belvedere. Why stupid? Big drum brakes, no brake booster equals zero brakes after 90 mph. This was back about '78. There I was at that speed on an unfamiliar road and a bend came up fast and I...

    Why Deaf films failed?[VID]

    No my son has normal hearing, but his disability can make communication awkward at times as he tends to distort what he hears. He also is a monotonic talker and uses some inappropriate words at times which can make it difficult sometimes to understand what the hell he is talking about! However...

    Why Deaf films failed?[VID]

    My son is heavily involved in the production of a weekly TV show here. He has a type of schizophrenic illness and is on a disability pension. This show is shown on a minority channel and seems to do fairly well as it is in the prime timeslot for the night. I am amazed how much work...

    No more wearing Makeup?

    I think you girls are too critical of yourselves. The first thing I noticed in the picture was this huge smile. Then the dress. I thought Wow, there's a combination that works really well and looks great as well. I only really noticed the makeup flaws after you gals pointed it out. IMHO...
