Maybe the kids are bored in school and don't pay attention. I learned in 1st grade that the earth revolves around the sun. My teacher even used foam celestial bodies to show us. I enjoyed that lesson.

I've been to lots of opening days at stores. The best one was Sephora, and they gave out lots of free make and make up demonstrations. The best opening day was for the new New York Cosmos soccer team. I got to see Pele although he didn't play, he was a guest of honor. That was cool. The...

I wonder how that Aussie boy is doing, the one who kept talking about wanting a girlfriend. I think he said he got a job in America, at a camp or something??

I love royalty news. The next royalty news should be coming soon----the birth of William and Catherine's baby. I can't wait!

I don't know why but seeing people dressed up as furry animals scares me, makes me uncomfortable. I don't mean like at Disney World or at a children's party, but when adults dress up and take on the persona of the animals, it's creepy and makes me nervous. No disrespect to furries.

Why is disabled a bad word? Disabled means unable to do something. So what. I am visually disabled and without my lenses everything is a blur, so I'm disabled in the visual area. If you are unable to hear, you are disabled in that area. Who turned "disability" into an evil, demeaning word...

I want to get a belly button ring but my parents, especially my mother, went into a fit over the idea. I appreciate the responses. I decided not to do it since I still live at home. Thanks.

get a belly-button piercing when her parents forbid it? just curious.

Thank you, Bebonang. Are there many deaf Native Americans where you live, or are most of the people in your Deaf community white? It doesn't matter, I'm just curious if you have lots of Native people to sign with.
