G-d was displeased with both Abram & Sarai, Abram for his inaction, not preventing the friction between Hagar and Sarai (he didn't want to upset either of them). - Not for concieving Yishmael with Hagar. He was displeased with Sarai for being so harshly angry with Hagar for her gloating, when...

Abraham, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon and others had more than one wife. This wasn't frowned on by G-d, but wasn't the best possable situation either. Polygamy has been banned for (Ashkenazi) Jews for around 1000 years now. Hmmm, I'm not sure from reading your post (I highlighted the part in...

Yes that's the question I asked, thanks! :) Take your time, a well thought out and researched answer is always better than a quick guess or just making something up or anything. I can respect that. Thanks. :) I just thought maybe you didn't see it, or didn't want to answer it, or...

You're welcome deafdyke! :) I think it is a good point to bring up. Also anyone can answer my question, doesn't have to be coloravalanche who I replied to! If anyone can explain, please do. :) Anyone?

Some asked earlier in this thread if the real Elvis was Irish too, like the actor playing him? I found this online: It came from this page: Elvis bio and trivia Also Presley family lineage is displayed here: Presley Family So it looks like he may have been of Scottish...

Yes I definately conserve water. There are no restrictions on here right now (It is winter in NZ right now, so there is plenty of rain!) but I always do my part to conserve water, and electricity too, recycle etc. It's all part of the same package for me. You know: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Yes I recycle. I recycle all our household rubbish, I make compost for the garden, recycle cans bottles etc. I also only buy products that have recyclable packaging! I use environmentally friendly cleaning products etc. I am also a member of greenpeace. RavenSteve - did you know that...

I played violin since I was 4 years old. (I was HoH as a kid, lost more and more hearing, now Deaf since teens. I have Severe-Profound loss in my left, Profound in my right.) I also play guitar, and sing. I'm not famous, but it is possable for deafies to play and enjoy music! I have been...

DeafKattMom: I have Severe-Profound loss in my left, and Profound loss in my right, and I play guitar and sing! Tell James your sons quite possably can have access to music... I love music! I have been in several bands, and have started recording some songs I wrote at a friend's recording...

I have a jar right here! It is just as commonly eaten in New Zealand as in Australia. This jar I have is made in NZ. The ingredients are: Yeast extract, salt, malt extract (from barley), colour(150[c]) OR (150[d]), vegetable flavours, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin. Also on the label...

Actually there is! Quote from: Judaism 101 Now I guess that many Christians would probably reply to that with something like "Oh but that's the old covenant, and that was with the Jews, Christians have a new covenant and the old doesn't apply". That's fine... except the only verse that...

Hi DeafKattMom, it is ok to switch sides between left and right handed sign, just not in middle of saying something! :) I used a similar way (to that of your son's principal) of describing it to my hearing cousin who signs a little - that it's like someone is talking to her in an Irish brogue...

Wow sepand, that is great background information! I'm going to try to see if I can find anything, using that to help. I'm really interested. Let me know if you find anything else, and I will also post back if I find anything helpful. :) What is your interest in this particular card? It...

Hmmm, this is an interesting thread. I wonder if it is a cultural difference or something, but this is a different meaning for 'enabling' than I was familiar with until I read this thread. Learn something new every day! Where I come from enabling someone would be like examples: A sister...

Does this include Melanesian too? You forgot Melanesians! :eek2: :lol: Seriously, My family is very mixed, so I'm only a little of anything, but my Dad's mother was 1/2 Fijian (Melanesian, also the Fijian part of my family is also part Solomon Islander, but that's going back a long way...

This is a Tarot card picture, yeah? (Educated guessing) Um, it could be symbolic of what that card means - Hierophant is symbolic in tarot of learning and belief systems, so maybe it's meant to look like it could be religious symbolisim? Or maybe it was drawn by someone from another culture...

Nancy, when that happens with me in a group of hearies - I can only lipread one at a time (I was HoH as a kid, and became Deaf as a teen) I try to decide who is the person most dominating the converstation in the group, then pay more attention to trying to understand what they say so I don't...

My mother lives with me! I am 27. Actually we found a house together when my ex moved out, and my mum didn't like it when she lived alone so we decided to save on both our money (we both work, & ofc I pay my share of the bills) and be there to support each other and share one home. It's...

I'm a leftie. I find other deaf people don't notice any difference they understand me just fine, so do terps. The only people who have ever commented on my signing left handed are hearies that know a small ammount of sign from somewhere or have seen the NZSL dictionary here, which gives...

I can talk pretty well. My Mother and Grandad worked hard with me to make sure I could. I lipread quite well too, but it is hard work, so if I can't understand someone I tell them I am deaf when I ask them for what I need to understand better. Sometimes I need them to keep their head still...
