? And then there are the cranky people who jump to false conclusions. I wasn't upset, and I made that clear. I wanted to know if this was a cultural issue or something specific to the person. I needed to know. You don't know the back story and should not have jumped to erroneous conclusions.

spent three hours on a 30 mile stretch of road in the Smoky Mountains. now at a cheap adn slightly scary motel in TN. Just found out that the interpreter I arranged two weeks in advance for my friend at church just decided she can't go. Pretty sure she's lying to me about why. But the...

I love that the day after banning large sodas he celebrated National Donut Day. Large sodas are what our family used to buy to split between three or four kids. The Nanny state always hurts the poor the most.

I am thinking about how silly people can be.

Welcomed my fourth daughter home from Germany. Packed a suitcase and started a roadtrip with my fifth daughter. Typing this from a hotel room.

Also, I should have added teh smiley face for my question about how to sign "It's none of your business." I was joking.

You misunderstood me. I don't find the bluntness (or directness) offensive. I did not say that I did. I also wasn't the person asked. Though, of course, it's not true that you have ask somebody you barely know how much they paid for thier house in order to get information. You can find out...

Nice to meet you! What part of Indiana?

Yahoo is hardly a legitimate source.

Once the Supreme Court ruled that blacks were inferior to whites and not citizens of the united states, so technically, it wasn't infringing on their rights to enslave them. But there is a law higher than the Supreme Court, one recognized in one of our foremost founding documents: All men are...

If it isn't a baby, they aren't parents. Is it a baby, or not? And of course, you do think it's okay to tell parents what to do. It's right to tell parents not to kill their children, not to beat them, starve them, torture them, molest them, or lock them in a cellar or chain them up. It's...

Fetus and embryo are both merely terms for developmental stages - much like infant, or toddler or juvenile. Developmental stages. Fetus: noun, plural fe·tus·es. Embryology . (used chiefly of viviparous mammals) the young of an animal in the womb or egg, especially in the later stages of...

the Supreme Court is not infallible. They've been terribly wrong before and will be again. The Supreme Court once protected slavery the sub human status of blacks. See the Dred Scott decision. The Supreme Court once protected eugenics and the forced sterilization of the 'unfit' in the...

Towards a Philosophy of Education, by Charlotte Mason, and some free kindle sci-fi fantasy book for kids. Don't recall the title.

That made me laugh. So is there a way to sign, "None of your business" that isn't rude? And good morning to you, too!

What is it that magically turns the fetus into a baby? the trip down the birth canal? If one woman delivers a baby prematurely at 25 weeks, that baby is human, but her sister is pregnant at 26 weeks, and that baby isn't, because of where it lives? Abortion kills a human being. You guys who...

I know the Deaf are blunt and to the point, and I think I understand why. But is it really acceptable/normal in Deaf culture to: Respond to a compliment about your shirt by asking somebody what size they wear (in front of other people) and then share your opinion of that size. Ask...

That would be nice, but would require hearing to be nearly as fluent in sign as in speech. It's not likely. When my deaf friend is with us, I try to sign at least a summary of what people are talking about, but I just can't keep up all the time, I'm not good enough.

Visited my oldest girl at her brand-new house, which is exciting for them. They had two kids in a 700 square foot efficiency apartment. She couldn't wash dishes without waking babies up from naps. Drove my deaf friend to her niece's graduation party. Met with a new HOH young friend- she's my...

I sign in public, too. At the library with one or two of my fellow sign language learners because we are *practicing* and we do this by signing with other people who are *practicing* a topic we are studying. We do not 'pretend to be deaf.' In fact, once in a while, if I notice somebody...
