    Organic Food does NOT mean it is healthier!!

    Also buying actual organic locally grown products at the farmer's market can be problematic if it's plagued with sellers who buy out off season fruit at wholesale prices and resell at the farmer's market.

    I was skeptical when I saw a new restaurant opening and promising 7 dollars an hour for the job when I lived in Charlotte NC in the early 2000s.

    I remember our cats really kept the mole population under control when I was very young.

    What If All the Cats in the World Suddenly Died?

    Just the title of this thread is enough to make me wonder about the OP. Any who would even joke about this is seriously disturbed. Studies after studies have shown that people who abuse animals especially by deliberately hurting them or neglecting them are more likely to commit violent crimes...

    Exactly. There's a lot of complaining about obama and crony capitalism on some of the political sites that I vist like zcommunications and counterpunch.

    Charles Dickens was born 200 years ago today

    I've read many of his books but not all of them. Old curiosity shop was my first Dickens book that I read. Little Nell's death shocked me then even though I could see that coming.

    Deaf Parents of Deaf kids

    For the record, DD, I was born with a severe to profound deafness. The majority of my loss was largely in the profound range at anything above 500 hz even then. Yet the lack of a CI for me didn't keep me from being understood by most adults by the time I was 12.

    Deaf Parents of Deaf kids

    While I agree with DD's toolbox approach, I don't think CIs are needed for good speech. Nor do I think CIs are needed in young deaf kids nowadays. I would never have my deaf kids grow up orally.
