    Sugar Causes Heart Disease

    Stevia does take some getting used to, and it comes in different varieties. They work differently in different things, so you have to experiment, but it's not a cheap experiment. For instance, I buy liquid stevia in flavored drops. We all love this in apricot flavor with lemon juice in...

    How Convince Mother To Learn ASL?

    I like to understand where people are coming from even when I don't agree. I can understand the thinking behind a parent who doesn't learn sign because that parent does not want their deaf child to sign- understand, I think that's all kinds of wrong headed thinking- but their goal is still to...

    Wrestling with Angels

    Yes, I am familiar with it. I enjoy Rand's work, but I agree about its weaknesses being not enough rational people by her definition. That's not an all bad thing. Her 'rationality' led her to be quite cruel to her husband when he got dementia. She felt like he could just overcome it if only...

    Does being deaf/hoh make you a bad writer?

    My brain just doesn't work that way. And then I second and third and fourth guess myself. I find Dr. Phil obscure quite often, too, but for different reasons.

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    You do realize that in English the phrase "higher standard and ethics" means both higher standards and higher ethics, right? So you did say that the prosecutor has higher ethics than the defender. Maybe you didn't mean it, but it is what you said, and I can only discuss what you actually say...

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    I have never said he did *nothing* wrong. There is a vast open space between being guilty of murder and doing *nothing* wrong. Lawyers, of course, disagree, which is why they always tell their clients never to apologize. I can think of a lot of reasons why he would apologize and still...

    Wrestling with Angels

    Believe it or not- or maybe it is easy to believe- this describes me, too. I think it definitely has to do with functioning more on the logic side than the emotion side of things. This has its good and bad sides. Others have noticed that I do not call people names even when I disagree with...

    Food For Thought For those who hate Obamacare so much

    Yep. I've been one of those people. Right now three of our adult children, including one of my married daughters plus her husband and both their children have no health care. And I still hate Obamacare, because I believe it is unconstitutional. My daughters also dislike ObamaCare, even...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    Here's another thing about dealing with the general public, particularly from a position of minority. Just as it is human nature to sometimes be a jerk, it is human nature that we notice, absorb, remember, dwell on, the jerkiness more than routine civility. If I am out shopping with my...

    Food For Thought For those who hate Obamacare so much

    I hope they see that it is unconstitutional. Whether they do or do not, the Supreme Court has made unconstitutional rulings before. They aren't perfect.

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    the difference being that I am not acting like it is. I don't quote his version as thought it was a fact. It's merely evidence that there is more than one version and none of them has been proven and neither you nor I can possibly know which is which at this point. but you keep quoting...

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    that's jumping to quite a few conclusions which are not factually proven.

    How do you sign...

    :ty: This helps!! In fact, the different versions give me a glimmer, just a glimmer, a tantalizing glimmer, into the elusive mysteries of ASL grammar. Kellycat, I had a chance to ask why the last part of the verse wasn't even included. It was essentially an accident. She thought I added...

    Does being deaf/hoh make you a bad writer?

    Ouch. That was kind of unnecessary. From what I can understand, Travis is a sweetheart, a really, really, genuinely nice guy. From what I can understand, I think what Travis has to say is valuable, which is why I would really, really like to do better at understanding him better. I...

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    Of course they say that. That's posturing. It's required. It doesn't mean they are right and it doesn't mean they can prove their case in court. That's about as meaningful as his defense lawyer saying he's seen all the evidence and still believes Zimmerman is innocent. Dershowitz Blasts...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    You have no basis for disagreement. These are not your experiences. You are not even a witness to the events. You are hearing about them third-hand and deciding you have enough evidence from your position as a reader of posts on a computer to determined that you know *more* about what another...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    It's not his job to add something new to your thinking. Hearing people who are rude do target their rudeness toward the area that they are ignorant about, troubled about, irritated by, frustrated by, caught by surprise by - in short, the thing that is different. So of course the general...
