    bridesmaid/grooms

    I was a bridesmaid twice for my two sisters and I sang for my best friend's wedding. I hope no one ever asks me again because I despised it. Having to stand up in 4 inch heels and endless receiving lines and pictures! I was exhausted by the day's end. I have pictures of both my sisters as brides...

    Questions For The Deafies & Hearies Thread --- Cultural Discussion Topic

    Well, it really is considered rude to not make eye contact with someone as you are having a conversation. But in informal situations, it happens quite often. My hubby and I sit back-to-back at our computers and have a conversation without looking up. Or if we're watching TV, we may comment...

    Some people don't realize that talking too loud doesn't make you hear any better

    I have a relative that does this when talking with deaf people and it's so embarrasing. He either shouts at them or talks so slow and deliberately to "help" them read his lips. I even tell him to just talk normally and use appropriate facial expressions. But I think he just does it out of habit...

    Would you donate your organs for other people who needs their organ transplant?

    I plan to donate any and all usable organs and tissue upon my death. My family knows of my plans and most of my family wishes the same for their own body. My husband spent months in kidney failure on dialysis and thought he would need a transplant. Luckily, he improved, but it is so...

    I found out abt me...

    I had a lot of dizziness from inner ear damage. I had to do a lot of excercises to help maintain my balance and took a medicine called Meclizine. The meds made me drowsy though, so I didn't like that. A few weeks of doing the excercises made a diference though. Perhaps your doctor will...

    Have you had a problem when,.

    That's too bad that some of you have had bad reactions from people. I am hearing, but would never react like that. I used to work at a place where we had a deaf mailman and everyone would refuse to go talk to him if he needed us to sign for something or whatever. I don't know what's so...

    Blind or deaf?

    I have both my hearing and sight, so I can't imagine being either deaf or blind. But if I had to make a choice, I would choose to be deaf. I value my independance greatly and being blind would limit independant movement. I could no longer drive myself, I would be frightened to move around the...

    Public Schools Lunches

    My daughter gets the free lunches because of our income. I really appreciate the program. I could afford to pack a lunch everday, but it would probably not be as hearty as the meals at school. She likes to have hot lunches especially in the colder months. If we had to buy her lunches...

    What type of toys that you wouldn't buy....

    I wouldn't buy any toys or games that imitate violence. I also don't like toys with lots of small pieces, because my toddler will find them and try to eat them. Other than that, I don't have any objections to other toys. I did refuse to buy the Bratz dolls for my daughter for a long time...

    Define Adultry (sp)?

    To me, adultry is any act performed that is intended to arouse or satisfy a sexual or romantic desire in someone other than your spouse. So it could be kissing, actual sex, cyber-sex or a number of other things.

    If you had a choice to pick a time you like to be born in and why?

    I wouldn't choose anytime in the past. I like air conditioning, modern medicine, equal rights and all that good stuff. Part of me would've liked to either be a hippie or a flapper though!

    For These Who Wants A 1,420 calories/107 grams fat Burger

    I think I could share this burger with my husband and two kids and we'd all be full! I do like Hardee's burgers, but I cannot even finish the 1/3 pound burger. I can't imagine who's eating this burger with fries and soda too!

    Jobs!

    I worked at a few fast food places. I was usually in the back as a cook. All the orders came up on the monitor, so you just read it and prepare the order. I liked being the cook because you don't have to deal with b*tchy customers. Plus, you can sneak some food if no one is looking! It's...

    Too fast... and maybe too good... to be true?

    Yes, it happened to me. It was Dec 1998 I started emailing a nice guy and soon we started calling on the phone. I knew from the first week that I wanted to marry this guy, but I had never even seen a picture of him. We finally met a couple months later and then got married in March 2000...

    Who Had an MRI?

    I think maybe 15 minutes or so. I'm pretty sure it was less than 30 minutes. I'm claustrophobic and they gave me valium beforehand to relax me and gave me a button to push if I got too scared and wanted out. The only bad thing is that the valium didn't fully take effect until after the whole...
