Except that he really is dumb, he doesn't just sound like it. And he does make awful statements intentionally, like we have to go to war or else the sky is falling. He has a sense of humor, but he talks dumb cos he is dumb. Now Cheney, he's not dumb, he's just corrupt as sin. Course so is...

[/COLOR] ABSOLUTELY! I am a citizen of the world!

Yep, takes a lot of class to deny citizens rights, create a tax system that benefits the top 2% of the population, destroys the environment, alienates the world, and let's not forget, blows away thousands and thousands of people in the name of greed, just to name a few. Oh, and of course if...

It was a play done by the Natl Theatre of the Deaf. I'm trying to think, I saw parts of it on a videotape. I believe it was a planet where everybody used sign language, and they had some people who were very strange because they were constantly moving their mouth! They were in the minority...

Did you steal your idea from the play about Eyeth? Where the hearing people are considered diabled? LOL

So well said! NOBODY learns from criticism. I understand the frustration that Deaf people feel, because as a parent of a deaf child I too feel frustrated that parents really receive NO information about the Deaf Community or Deaf Culture when their child is diagnosed. Because the Deaf...

Deafdyke, I too do not see disability as a bad thing. The word itself implies a limitation in ability, which I don't like, yet that is the pc word that's used these days. They kicked around physically challenged and what not for awhile, but they never stuck. I worked with people with...

This is really a big issue. As a parent of a deaf child who doesn't have a CI, I talk with many parents and other people about this. I hate the divisions that it's creating. A big part of the problem is that professionals keep lowering the age of the implant, and parents aren't educated about...

Can I share this information with a parents of deaf children list I'm on?

Hi Purple Rose, Thanx for the info- Oh, I'd love to come for the Deaflympics, but no money I'm afraid. I'm not deaf, my son is. But one of the girls from his school made the USA soccer team. I'm thrilled for her! I WILL make it there, tho not sure when :) PT

Hi there, I'm also a parent of a deaf child, but my child goes to a school for the deaf and we've been very happy, actually it's the first time he's gotten a decent education. But I want to encourage you to join this listserv for parents of deaf and hoh children. It's run thru the American...

REDRUM, What are you signing in your pic? Is that Auslan? I wanna go to Australia, but how hard was it to learn Auslan?

I've been married for awhile now and we've had good and bad times, you know. Someone said how couples who have a child with a disability have a high divorce rate. I think that's taking it out of context. All marriages have stresses, it's not what happens but how you respond to what happens...

I don't think anyone mentioned, Concerta is actually a form of ritalin. It's made to last the whole day, you only take it once a day. But that doesn't mean it will act in the same way on your child's system. I know there's a lot of controversy about kids getting drugs just to keep them...

Hi Tumblerock, Very sorry... I'm older than you and have been married almost 16 years, so I don't feel like I'm much help in how to find new relationships with women. But the fact that you're reappraising your past relationships says a lot. I agree with other people, you need time. I'd...

Margie, Your link doesn't work. Is there a typo in it?

Hi Margie, I think you misunderstood, as I've been taking classes (the slow route) at a local comm. college interpreter program for umm, 4-5 years. I was learning primarily for my son, but now have been accepted into the interpreter program!!!!! I started this post because I was in a bit of...

I understand. I've had to fight for my son with people who really didn't seem to understand or care. But one thing I wanted to say to you is that you should go for it, learn sign language! I was as old as you when I started to learn, and now I'm in my mid 40s and going into the interpreter...

Yes, Norman Vincent Peale was ahead of his time! Now quantum physicists are proving scientifically that this is true. The law of attraction... I believe that whenever you choose to respond to someone with compassion you set off a chain of events that you can't possibly imagine.... sometimes...

Thanks Richard, and you're right about this forum.
