You are over looking a serious question if you are her boyfriend. Do YOU understand what an interpreting career means to you? Can YOU take the stress? Are you secure with yourself and your relationship? This is from experience. My daughter is a terp. Her current love interest and I are...

What is important isn't your pop's English. It is his smarts. He was smart enough to not be taken in. Better to be smart than perfect spoken.

We figured they were targeting older people in the hopes of finding someone who would get emotional and forget to ask, or feel guilty about asking, rude questions. Younger people might be a little more critical. Also you are more apt to lose contact with your grandson and not recognize their...

So I'm sitting at my computer when the phone rings. "Hello. This is your grandson." Cool. I got a bunch. "Which one is this?" "I'll give you a hint. I'm your oldest." "Well, its been a while. How you doing?" "My friend Steven won a trip to Peru and invited me to join him. So I'm down...

Ash345, I followed your blog and clicked on "sick systems". It was very informative and I thank you very much.

If a thing can be done it will be done. Making laws against things people want to do simply ups the price of doing it, having it, or having it done. If you have enough money someone, somewhere, will give you what you want. Right now in some countries it is illegal to test for the sex of a child...

Yeah, that is what we need. MORE corporate business in the good old U.S. They will be sure to protect our freedoms, give us lots of high pay work, and run the world in an honest, straight forward, manner. Heck, why not just get rid of government and let the corporations take over.

Yes, but, currently we are doing selective breeding for a worse world. While intelligent, working people are saying, "Well, One kid, maybe two, is all we can handle and maybe we should wait a couple of years," Most of the druggers I see are street people popping them out like rabbits. If...

It is the parent's job to earn a living -- Both of them, not just one any more. Clean house, cook dinner, mow the lawn, and tell the kid they can't go out to play until their homework is finished. When they do have time to talk to the kids they are supposed to grill them about life's...

Excuse --- As Christian as celebrating halloween. One person's religion is another person's superstition. As you said, Pagan. There are a lot of different Pagan religions. Some of them consider Halloween a religious holiday.

Is it "real" or "true" or "right" or is it not? All that stuff gets talked about a lot I'm happy with whatever's done So long as we are having fun Because love and laughter is all you got. copyright Michael Berryman, 2009, all rights reserved.

A large part because our society forces children to do a very unnatural thing all through their childhood. Sit at a desk for one, two, or more hours at a time. Quick recess, back in seat. If the child does not like sitting still it is not because our system is abnormal it is because your...

Thou shalt not tease thy frog. So sayeth Pac Man.

People often build up these holidays in their minds to such sand castles of fun that post holiday depression is inevitable. When I am around people who are having fun I have fun. Otherwise I just go about my business.

I was told by a lawyer a few years ago that I should become a terp and work jails because the percentage of deaf men in prison is about the same as the population at large -- But finding a male terp to go in and work is difficult both because there are so few male terps and because a lot of male...

Statistics are not meaningless. They are, however, easily manipulated and need careful treatment. Always be wary of statistics taken out of context. I'm also left handed. I can tell you from personal experience that your 75% is wrong. I have never met a left handed ex-felon and I've lived in...

There are several serious flaws in hearing education. Most of them are attributable to the values of hearing culture. Most of those values are twisted and corrupt. Children are taught they need an education so they can "earn more" than those with lesser educations. Why? Nowhere does anyone...

I am going to expand on this a minute. I personally do NOT believe a person needs to learn one language before another. I have seen way to many multilingual children of a very young age. The one who impressed me the most was an 11 year old girl I met in K-Mart. Her father spoke Punjabi, Her...

It is not misleading. The point is not what anyone can learn -- It is about what anyone does learn. The analogy is: The Deaf guy can read fingerspelling at speeds and comprehension levels beyond what he can read on the printed page. The College guy can read faster and with greater...

Anyone who is going to raise a girl with an idea of what heroism is in a woman should teach them about Boudicca. Whether it be this book or another.
