did you graduate from vsdb? i only ask because the majority of my education comes from growing up at vsdb :). small world, eh?

that's so sad, eyeth... it shows that the deaf community DOES have a hierarchy system- people from strong deaf families/etc are on the top of the pyramid while deafies who don't sign or have any links to deaf culture are on the bottom.

yes i do :). i was diagnosed last july, but i suspect i've had it since i was a child, because i remember experiencing horrible bouts of unbearable guilt and sadness. i used to take ablilfy and zoloft for my illness, but i stopped immediately when i found out that i was pregnant. i don't want...

i agree with you- americans and europeans have a very different mentality when it comes to raising children. examples? europeans don't tend to pratice circumcision, etc etc. also, co-sleeping (the act of sleeping in the same bed with your children) is a lot more acceptable in europe. BUT...

:confused: so you're reccomending that she drug her THREE YEAR OLD child just because her child doesn't go to bed on time??? no way! three is too young for any type of sedatives! it's actually normal- many children have bedtime struggles. i don't think anyone should take drastic measures such...

yes, i have bipolar disorder too. to clarify some more, here's what the NIMH has to say about bipolar disorder.... What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder? Bipolar disorder causes dramatic mood swings—from overly "high" and/or irritable to sad and hopeless, and then back again, often...

the first thing that came to mind was the connotation of sexual abuse, BUT putin's intentions were good. he said that he was inspired by the boy's presence. his intent was NOT sexual at all, but more of "kittenlike" (his exact word) i don't know if it's a russian cultural thing, but i...

mainly, because they require attention and time... i already have two cats and that doesn't stop me from wanting pet ratties. i've had several pet ratties- my favorite was delilah, a rat that would randomly shed hair. she was so awesome- never peed or pooped on me. i miss her.

my brother lives in tampa and he mentioned that he was going. glad to hear you had fun :)

i like you already :)

thanks, liebling... i'm going to post in that thread too.

to mamas who DIDN'T breastfeed, i don't think you should feel guilty at all. you did what you thought was the best for your child and that's what really matters.

exactly. and breastfed babies are shown to be more healthier.

17 months??? you rock!!! i'm with you- i think more mothers should be educated regarding breastfeeding. it's such a wonderful act and it has so many benefits that outweigh formula.

i'm going to HIGHLY reccomend one of my FAVORITE books- "i didn't hear the dragon roar" it's about a deaf woman's solo trek through china. it's a WONDERFUL book, especially if you love travelling. unfortunately, it's out of print. BUT you can find a cheap copy off amazon (that's how i got my...
