It NEVER hurts to keep things documented. And you are never quite sure when, where, or how, the documentation might help. When in doubt document. Keeping paper trails is a survival tool in our society.

I think I have something to say. It might even be important. But I don't think that I, or anyone else, much cares what it is.

If we were to stand in front of an alien it is quite possible we would not recognize it as either a life form or as intelligent.

Many things are easy to assume. I have a friend who loves music. He will talk endlessly about it in interesting ways and when I do not understand a concept he will spend time thinking of ways to express it to me so I do understand. But he assumes that my life would be enriched were I to...

I love this. Thank you. Edited: By the way, that was written very poetically.

If the bolded part is true, fantastic! But being Deaf is not so much "choosing an identity" as it is embracing a part of oneself that is often disowned or trivialized. Embracing aspects of oneself is a powerful thing and gives power to the person who does it. As the man in a wheelchair...

Even when I read it the first time I recognized both its weakness and its rigidity - Which was only exacerbated by his followers who turned his ideas into a religion that allowed no growth or deviation. My experience in self defense schooling where those students who were more advanced were...

Tribal thinking has received a very unfair rap sheet by people who do not understand it and given by those who believe you should be willing to burn your mother at the stake for the "greater good" of people you don't know and might not like if you did know them. Us vs. Them and...

We were discussing wealth. One woman said that were she rich she damn well would feel she was better than everybody else because she could do whatever she wanted and they could not. A person pointed out that this proved money is evil because it does destroy people. A man, I believe he was...

Agreed, but Eric Berne is more accessible and more readable and his labeling Adult, Parent, and Child is more easily related to the Smithsonian findings than dealing with the somewhat intimidating Id, Ego, and Superego. I know at first I had a hard time keeping track of which one was which...

After the hysteria of the Salem witch hunts all the convicted and accused witches who had not been executed were pardoned. That sounds pretty good except that they were in jail. Innocent, guilty, pardoned, regardless they had to -- By law -- Pay for their time in jail before they could be...

Dear AJWSmith, Here is my take on the entire matter. The Smithsonian institute during a study of bird migration broke communication down into three parts. Bark, Whine, and Growl. A Bark is a determination of identification. "Who goes there?" A Whine is "Don't hurt me. I mean you...

So maybe the other two were Nelly?

How do we know the stooges weren't gay? They all slept in the same bed. This thread is HILARIOUS!

When I do my clown bit (Tie animal balloons) I just draw the handshapes "ASL" on a sign. Those who sign see it instantly from a block away. Those who do not seldom notice it.

Actually she should have been convicted. Problem is (As I understand it) the jury was not allowed to hear or see much of the evidence you had access to on TV. The jury was only allowed to reach a judgement based on the testimony they were allowed access too. It is quite possible we need to...
