Message #1 Robin,this is par for the course with what is a black supremicist religious cult. They believe that blacks were the original people,whites are evil,etc. and etc. Farrakhan's group,Nation of Islam,is the direct descendant of Elijah Muhammad's organization. The Nation of Islam is...

DeafDrummer, I DNAd with 23andme.com. They use 3 population groups: European,African,Asian. With this company,FB Native Americans test as 75% Asian,25% European,give or take 10% either way,reflecting current theory that they originated in Central Asia. This autosomal...

Very thoughtful post,C-Sign! Here in VA,some people have had difficulty proving their heritage because of Walter Plecker,the former director of Vital Statistics. Plecker believed that VA had no Indians and the tribal remnants thereof were heavily mixed with W African ancestry. Acting on...

I'm descended from the Powhatan Confederacy through a gg grandfather who was full-blooded. His daughter,my great grandmother,lived to be very old. (102) I knew her during my youth. I've had DNA testing done which confirms that I'm of African,European,and Asian/Native American heritage...

Re: Post 124 Biblically,we're all descendants of Adam through Seth. Noah was descended from Seth. Noah had three sons: Shem,Ham,and Japheth,whose descendants settled in different regions of the world. (It's in Genesis.) If there's a religion section on All-Deaf,I'd be happy to discuss...

On my Dad's side,I'm descended from Robert "King" Carter thru his grandson, Carter Braxton,who signed the Declaration of Independence. A 1st cousin to Braxton,Robert Carter III,freed almost 500 slaves in 1790/91, which was the largest individual slave manumission in US history. I'm also...

I always wanted to learn the blues harmonica. In fact,one of the best players I've met was a hoh man who attended my junior college in the 70's. He wore 2 behind-the-ear hearing aids. Unlike other students,I never had any trouble bending notes. But I can't get my act together to play a...

My favorite place to be and live is where I am now,in the VA piedmont. The scenery is beautiful,the crime rate is moderate,and the people are quite friendly and compassionate. For example,in the mid 2000's,we had the remnants of a hurricane sweep through the region. The fire...

Pedro2, Crazy Paul makes a good point. I'm on SSI myself. As long as you keep your bank account and other cash assets below $2000, you should be fine. There's one exception to the $2000 rule. One's initial SSI payment is calculated back to a "date of disability" and...

I'm left-handed. I've always wondered why handedness is not more "evenly distributed",us humans having 2 hands. It's been estimated that worldwide,10-15% of the general population is left-handed. Why isn't it closer to 50/50?

Jazzy, I have a treadmill and an exercise bike for cardio and Power Blocks (selectorized dumbbells). I also jump rope once in a while. I can watch tv while on the exercise bike,which is kinda nice. I cannot go outside to run because of the hilly,piedmont VA terrain I...

I'd take an annuity rather than lump-sum.

I have a Sony Google TV connected to Dish Network. I get both HD and SD programming. My closed captioning now originates from the satellite box. I chose white background with blue letters. Very readable.

Angle, What hasn't been told is your connections. How is your TV connected? I have a Google TV which is connected to Dish Network.Initially,we had SD programming and the closed captioning was enabled by the tv. We now have upgraded to include HD programming also. This...

Karissa, I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian and understand you being pissed at the evangelical vegetarians who want everyone to be vegetarian. It works for me because meat gives me gas. Also,there's a history of diabetes in my family and I've heard vegetarians are less likely to get...

AMW is back! According to the Lifetime TV site,the new season started 12/2/2011. The show airs every Friday at 9PM EST. Roca

Bender, I recently acquired a CapTel from VA's Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services. My income was low enough so that the state picked up the cost. It can be set to 1 line or 2 line mode. If set in 1 line,the ccs will appear with outgoing calls but incoming callers must dial an 800...

I'm in my mid-50's now,but when I was a teenager,hearing aids came in pink. How I hated that,being of a brown complexion. My all in the ear hearing aids are a medium brown. (Wear 2.) One has to be standing rather close to notice that I'm wearing them. I'm mighty glad that there are now...

Glickchick, I'm also a CapTel user. Here in VA,I was able to test it for 1 month before my "purchase" became permanent. My income was also low enough for the state to pick up the cost. I also have the option,4 years from now,to upgrade my equipment if new technology comes out...
