:rofl2: Love the word mishaps and loopholes. When I was in 3rd grade and was reading out loud from an English book and came across this name "shiitake," I was hesitant in saying that word aloud but said it anyway. I pronounced it as "shitake." LOL. But, fortunately, my teacher understood...

Right on, Bebonang!! :rockon: Nice to meet you, Dudeman! :D

This is from encyclopedia.com: Lud·dite / ˈlədˌīt/ • n. a member of any of the bands of English workers who destroyed machinery, esp. in cotton and woolen mills, that they believed was threatening their jobs (1811–16). ∎ a person opposed to increased industrialization or new technology: a...

I know and read that on your previous post. I'm very glad for you that you didn't take that route. Strokes are not in my family history. I guess my docs were going by that. I have NO coagulation issues in my blood. No one knows what happened. Then again, the strokes may be something else...

:giggle: That's funny, Kristina. It's like that one time years ago, when my husband came home from work and asked what the smell in the apartment was. I told him that I had burned incense. He gave me this disgusted look and asked, "You burned insects?" I just cracked up so hard. Incense...

:( So true. For years, I have longed for the company of the Deaf culture. This thread awakens that longing. Even though I'm rusty with the basic sign, I will need to find a community close by and I hope I can find them. I hope it will not involve traveling to another city, but it is a very...

Does anyone use the Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus? How do you like it? I love it. For the step-dancing, I wish the rhythm music would make the wii-mote (the remote) vibrate, so we could stay in rhythm. But overall, it's fun. I like to run in place with the Wii Fit. I even have the Jillian...

Cool. I drink Diet Coke. :D

I took birth control pills to prevent menstruation-related pain. It was a pain that stopped my life in its tracks. A pain that bends time and pain killers were not always effective on. I was losing 6 months out of the year to extreme pain. It was just unacceptable. The GP I had at that...

I've been deaf all of my life and mainstreamed into the public schools. I can lip-read up to a point. There are many downsides to lip-reading. People talk too fast and my brain can't run at their pace to lip-read. And accents are practically impossible to lip-read - for me, that is. Of...

Haha. We're having beef stew. Yum.

My GP is a guy in his 60's and practices family medicine. He's sensitive to my communication needs and takes the time to make sure that I understand what he is saying. Too many doctors talk too fast for me to lip-read and rush through appointments. So, it's hard to find a doc that I can...

:rofl2: That's hilarious. This reminds me of a phone call that I got years ago from a telemarketer when I was still living with my mom, who's a hearie. The telemarketer asked for me. Since I have no need or want any telemarketers, my mom took the matter into her own hands and told the person...

Sorry for taking this thread off-topic, Robin. I understand your concerns. LOL! It's so funny that some people think that using incense means that you're smoking weed. So not true! I've used incense plenty of times and never smoked weed. LOL, Sally. I like that answer! I remember...

Awesome! Sounds like something I can get into. :D :ty: Oh, I love all these emoticons, especially this one: :devil:

The other posters have better advice than the one I gave. LOL.

Cool. :D :ty:

:rofl2::rofl2::tears: OMG. I just finished reading the whole thread. I just died laughing. I haven't laughed this hard for years. I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. Hee hee. Really hilarious posts in this thread. Thanks for the belly laughs, y'all! :ty: :tears::rofl2::rofl2:
