If, during a relationship, you change your way of eating and your attitude about food in a significant way, it will definitely impact the relationship.

Interesting formula but I don't think it is meant to be anything more than a 'guideline' to potentially inappropriate relationships. It certainly does not define a "sexual predator". Each adult has to decide for themselves if age parameters are important and what they are.

Oh that is such a sad situation Kristina. As a parent, I can understand how the father feels guilt. Hopefully, in time, he will come to accept that she accomplished a great life goal, left this world with great memories and, perhaps, it was simply her time to rest in peace. My heart breaks for him.

That's really good advice Reba and something I need to focus on more often. As I am often in the role of interpreter between deaf and hearing friends, my opportunities to think strictly ASL are limited. When I am in an all deaf situation, I have to make quite an effort to try and 'go with the...

I have no idea who the man is or why he is signing but I suspect he is not being offensive on purpose. To me it appears he tried to translate an english sentence into ASL by trying to copy signs from a book (ie: he got his index and middle finger placement backward for the word 'place')? I...

Being outside, on my own, consciously taking in my surroundings brings me peace and relaxation. Most often I am walking and my favorite places are trails, beaches and parks. I try my best not to think about work, to-do lists, meal planning, or other people - just what is beautiful around me and...

Reading the article, this jumped out at me, "Some parents are even delaying schooling to give their children a competitive advantage in sports ...". Personally, that is very disappointing to me. As for my own experience, I entered kindergarten prior to turning 5 and I entered University at 17...

If you define proficient as skilled, adept or an expert, my answer to the question is 'rarely ever' ... unless ... you learn from native ASL users AND continually immerse yourself in the language and the culture. Like any second language, anyone can learn to 'get by' relatively easily as long as...

I am torn on this in a few ways. While I acknowledge that what took place is against the law, I do not think it should result in a lifelong criminal record. Consensual sex during the high school years happens often and, if we arrested every senior who has had sex with a freshman, imagine the...

Just to clear, nowadays "John Hancock" refers to a signature of any type or style. ie: "Put your John Hancock here", "Can I have your John Hancock on this memo?" :-)

Just thought of a couple of things. Soft drinks in general are called 'pop' rather than soda and we usually say 'couch' rather than 'sofa'. If you are a fan of baked goods involving chocolate, like brownies, try a Naniamo Bar - they originated in Naniamo on Vancouver Island and are a popular and...

I can't answer your stripper question either but it's a good one so I will find out ha! We use the "John Hancock" expression here as well. I live in Alberta but have been to BC (various places inland, Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Hornby Island) many times. I think a couple of 'must see' places...

Saw it, couldn't believe it! Now they are going to 'relaunch' to try to prove, once again, that their personalities and food are top notch. This has got to be the biggest dramafest I have ver seen!

My Dad just got his aids replaced with these Phonaks and he is thrilled with them. It is wonderful to see him so happy with what he is experiencing. It was only a couple of decades ago that the audiologists told him that there was nothing that could be done for his specific type of genetic...

Being engaged is such an exciting time :-). Congratulations.

Just a sidenote: As we used it around here, "owned" usually means being beat big time, usually at your own game. For instance ... If I challenged someone to basketball game thinking I could win and they beat me easily, people would say, "Ooo Journey, you got owned!". Or if I was debating a...

Ah, good point! But I don't think they see it coming, I haven't met a lobster yet who owns a calendar :giggle:.

Every Mother's Day my husband orders live lobsters, we invite the parents over and have a big lobster feed. The men cook and crack them all, pile them in the middle of the table and we all eat, talk and laugh for hours. The kids (now adults) do the cleaning up afterwards. It's a day we all look...

Haha Bottesini, that is a very clever idea :-). Maybe you just have to scream it in caps. PS: I love my DGC.

"I want to offer you an opportunity to read at ease (that is, in your native language) ..." How do you read in ASL??
