Don't have any kids, I think two would be enough...

I had a crush on Angela Cartwright... Favs: I'd watch Futurama if it was still on. Still watch Simpsons, but no longer religiously; once hilarious, now merely amusing. I'd also watch Curb Your Enthusiasm if I remember when it's on. Used to like Six Feet Under but it's become too...

You're making a damn good imitation. Any time I'm tempted to feel sorry for myself, I think of deaf-blind people I know in the DC area and elsewhere. They all cope the best they can--and they do it without whining. Try it. "If you cannot be grateful for what you have, be thankful for what...

A friend told me it sounds as if I have this condition--I forgot what it's called--that affects the heart, thyroid and one's hearing. I've got all that. My mother had German measles, which was no doubt the root cause.

I lost my hearing completely over a three-day period when I was 11, back in 1965. I'd give anything to hear again, but I don't whine about being deaf. If you could hear into your forties, may I suggest you COUNT YOUR FREAKING BLESSINGS??

An incorrect analogy, since doctors do not create diseases, or permit natural processes that give rise to diseases. Disease is not among the penalties God places on Adam and Eve, it was introduced at some later point, without explanation. And, one way or another, if God is in fact omnipotent...

I can see why you're so popular here (he said drily). You don't know jack about Helen Keller.

And what commandment did Helen Keller break, pray tell?

Any mutation that has survival value is a beneficial mutation. We are the product of a long process of mutations that made us better able to deal with our environment.

Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act in 1998, which advocated the overthrow of Hussein's government; in addition, Clinton has supported the Iraq war from the start.

Oh I dunno, I think it was hilarious that practically the first thing Bush's new Secretary of Education did after being sworn in was to pitch a fit over a cartoon bunny's visit to a lesbian couple.

"...the statistical probability of being killed in an accident would approach certainty at that point." Ah, but that assumes we wouldn't be housed in indestructible bodies in five hundred years. But logically, we couldn't say more than that we'd live "indefinitely". And unless we can...

I don't think it's possible to live forever, but it would be nice to live as long as you wanted to...until you became tired of living, although I can't imagine that you'd ever get to that point.

Delphi, as in delphiforums.com.

Thanks, she is indeed deaf.

I dunno either, but I DO know what happens when a rabbit meets our Doberman. The Dobe gets a tasty snack.

Dang, my memory isn't as good as I thought: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/swann/herblock/images/s03285u.jpg

I recall Washington Post cartoonist Herblock drawing Reagan's SOD Caspar Weinberger wearing a toilet-seat-cum-horsecollar, with--if memory serves--a tag saying "$450".

Thanks, I see the cat hasn't got your tongue!
