I love the soul-soothing posts in this thread. I have done some random acts of kindness from time to time. The most recent one is MINOR, but funny. I left work late and was very hungry. I decided to stop at a pizza place near my Metro stop, where they make excellent pizzas. When my turn to...

I'm no gym bunny, but I do work out. I'm in good shape. Last year, I joined a local health club. I quitted after they increased the monthly membership fee, which was outrageous in the first place. There are many trails in the national park just two blocks from my place, so I go there 2x a...

When traveling, I prefer to stay in a place long enough to get some local feelings...taste regional dishes, learn their culture and customs, see what locals do there, etc. I try to avoid tourist traps, but some are neat to visit. The best way to explore is to get lost. A friend and I got...

A new ADer's perspective Ahem...I have been reluctant to post my opinion because I am new to this forum and I don't know anyone here. But now...what the hell...I am voting against postwhoring. I agree with Kuifje75, VamPyroX, Freaky and others that postwhoring does more harm than good to...

Yes, especially when a snowstorm is coming and I don't have go to work. What is the most peculiar food you have tried?

I love ginger and the candle does smell like it. It transforms my place into somewhere exotic. :) Yankee candles are great too. My favorites are Fireside, Storm Watch and Harvest.

@ Starbucks Ante meridiem (AM): Venti coffee Post meridiem (PM): Venti Iced Caffe Americano, Venti Caffe Mocha or Venti coffee On a rainy day, I love to drink coffee with hot milk. I do not like Starbucks's Caffe Latte. I go to a small French bistro near where I work for a bowl (yes...

Sorry that I revived the thread. :beer:

I :bowdown: Starbucks. It is my pit stop... to get started for the day. The SB store just around the corner from where I work has some employees who know signs, but they usually don't have to ask what I want. I order the same drink everyday.

Ummm...lit tonight is Crushed Ginger from Illuminations. Lemon Verbena is great too. www.illuminations.com

Peg There is a word for it...it's peg. Dan Savage, a sex columnist, polled his readers with three candidates and peg won. It is not officially recognized by lexicographers, but I can't think of any better word. www.thestranger.com/2001-06-21/savage.html Here are some ways to use...

Whenever I turn on the TV, Food Network is the first channel I see because it is usually the last channel I watch before going to bed. That's how much I love Food Network. My favorite chefs are Jamie Oliver of Oliver's Twist and the Naked Chef and Tyler Florence of Food 911. I have...

Everyone who welcomed me, thank you. ChelEler, many thanks for the link. Gosh...AD is addictive. I have to go to bed, but I don't know if I can pry myself from the seat. :D

Genealogy is a grand obsession of mine. I have been doing it since I was 8 years old. I started with asking Mom about our family history, etc. Unsatisfied with her answers, I went to a local library. It was where I stumbled upon a biographical sketch of my great-grandfather, a pastor of a...

I think it was the only name my parents could agree on. Dad wanted Wayne :eek:, but Mom intervened. I am eternally grateful for that. What is the most exotic place you have visited?

Children of Deaf Adults I want to include the CODAs in my family. They are my brother and my mother's sister. They sign well. My aunt still signs with old PA signs, practically unadulterated after many years. In hopes to preserve this part of Deaf history, I plan to record our...

Me :deaf: , parents :deaf:, maternal grandparents :deaf:, the rest ... not :deaf:

Nutella rules! I :bowdown: Nutella. I have a friend who makes excellent waffles. We always have gastronomic orgasms when we are eating his Nutella waffles. Nutella fans, what else do you do with Nutella? In a German deaf forum, there is a thread discussing Nutella with cheese. I ought to...
