    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Ok, have you ever drunk so much you did something illegal? Or maybe you have taken some illegal substance? Or maybe you're just a chronic speeder. Fine, No more driving for you. No mercy for you, the sinner. If we followed that philosophy in America, America would be no better than Hitler's...

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Wow, this board moves fast. Anyways, how many chances did you have with some things? We all get multiple chances (at least, those who survived through the first chance). Secondly, unless you count all 8 of the current children as separate chances, your math is flawed, same goes with any other...

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    I personally think this idiot mother should be at least temporarily severed from the kids. Have them stay with relatives until the mother can get a job and exhibit responsible behavior. The permanent requirements I would set follow: 1. She must work a job for a minimum of 6 months (they must...

    ummm, new experience

    Church is Harvest Baptist Church for the Deaf, so there will be interpreters for us both (I sometimes need a voicer if I am tired). I am at a conversational level in ASL (not fluent, but still good enough to keep on a conversation, until they start speaking about technical things). BUt good...

    40 Things You Can Learn About a Guy in 10 Minutes

    It is possible to tell quite a bit, and some of the things I agree with, but to have had all those experiences in ten minutes and gained all that knowledge? only under the most favorable circumstances would that even be possible. I do say, the stuck in traffic is possibly the closest to truth...

    What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learnt from your past relationships?

    1. keep a similar sleep schedule with her as best you can (I lost a chance to go to Lake Winnipesoka because I never slept at night) 2. Wait at least a year to put a rock of any sort on her hand. I don't care if it is a right hand ring, wait. 3. If you like her, tell her. Don't stand at the...

    12 years!!!

    I have only seen one couple with a similar age gap that worked out, that being the Dr's Lovett at TTU. They now celebrate, I think, 20 years together.

    40 Things You Can Learn About a Guy in 10 Minutes

    lol, I especially like the birth order. What happens when that is turned on its head? Also, I am only a slow talker in ASL, since I am not yet proficient at it. I find that I am thinking more when I sign than when I speak, or even type.

    Seven Warning Signs of a Troubled Relationship

    well, it would depend on which type of therapy they are undergoing. Just cognitive (the norm) isn't enough to solve most problems, cognitive-behavioral therapy for the husband and wife has been shown to be quite effective in many cases. It is, in fact, the type of therapy most pastors are taught...

    ummm, new experience

    Well, I finally got myself into an interesting position. I was at Harvest Baptist Church for the Deaf a few months ago when I met a girl named Erica. The first time we met, I remember, was during the graduation party of last year, and it was only in passing. I didn't see her at all until the...

    ethics question

    Outside of the one session where the speaker went into an indepth medical description of the crucifixion, he kept asking me to interpret continually. There were WAY too many advanced classifiers in that part.

    ethics question

    I am never going to interpret for a court session unless someone extremely close to me (wife, child, etc) were to ask me specifically to do so, even after I get certified. As far as teaching, the closest I will come to that is taking my friends through the same lessons the teacher in ASL does...

    learning to sign

    I generally have more trouble putting the right sign with the complex words I usually use. My brain is a database of random multi-syllabic words that have odd meanings, my favorite currently being defenestrate, which means to throw out of a window, generally while it is open. But with these...

    Your sign name?....

    Mine is a "b" hand waving in the air (many of my friends, myself included, have joked about it looking like Miss America waving at the tv screen), although occasionally some joke about it being two "b" hands circling the ears like the sign for crazy.
