12:16 am

VolleymomDee

thx ru for the pe 7

12:16 am

cosdem

i should be more specific

12:17 am

cosdem

the AGB foundation and AGB himself is/was firecely opposed to american sign language and wanted to use oralism and oralism alone.

12:17 am

cosdem

so the deaf community has major issues with that

12:18 am

rururocks

I wish I knew sign language

12:18 am

jillibus

Ah, I see.

12:19 am

Pinikula

I know enough SEE to get by

12:19 am

cosdem

i should find an article and send it to you if you like--- i promise it'd be a non-biased one

12:19 am

Pinikula

...still can't figure out ASL

12:19 am

cosdem

grew up with ASL and SEE... school used see.. parents used asl.. so i m fluent in both lol

12:19 am

Something I've always wondered is whether other language speakers understand American Sign Language.

12:20 am

rururocks

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

12:37 am

cosdem

im a candidate for it.. i qualifty.. my drs said 80% chance of success... my insurance would pay for it.. BUT

12:37 am

jillibus

oh how awful, cos -- but I'm probably older than your mom and don't remember any feeling against signing

12:38 am

cosdem

but... i dont want my face ripped 1/2 open for an 80% chance of success. and i would NEVER be able to get an MRI....without it frying up.. i dont think its worth the risk

12:38 am

MLFAN17

you would qualify? thats cool to know huh?

12:39 am

dizgrannie

cos, I have had 2 ops on my ears with minor success...but also very painful

12:39 am

cosdem

i almost went for it... i had an appointment and all...

12:39 am

MLFAN17

Is it really that risky??

12:39 am

hootowl

The things you learn from your friends ... as opposed to your doctors

12:39 am

cosdem

yes... so thats one reason deaf people are so.. UGH about the AGB foundation.. they advocate doing it at birth...

12:40 am

MLFAN17

at birth???YIKES

12:40 am

MLFAN17

lol hoot

12:40 am

hootowl

Another bunch of idiots trying to run peoples lives!

12:40 am

cosdem

then training them in oralism.. and not teaching them sign language..

12:40 am

MLFAN17

what made you not do it cos?

12:40 am

jillibus

Good heavens! I wonder if AGB himself would have advocated that.

12:41 am

dizgrannie

Me, I prefer to wear my hearing aids than go thro another op...57 this yr

12:41 am

cosdem

jilli - i doubt he would.. but he did advocate oralism over sign language... butt hen again so did every other doctor in his era

12:41 am

jillibus

mlf, see 12:38

12:42 am

MLFAN17

jill yeaqh i knew that part my fault

12:42 am

cosdem

MLF - i decided im ok with who i am.. i have friends and i have ryan who knows how to communicate. i can do fine... so..

12:42 am

MLFAN17

cos i say if it aint broke dont fix it

12:42 am

jillibus

well, I think his heart was in the right place, cos, even if others perverted his ideas.

12:43 am

cosdem

right.. so the problem really wasnt AGB himself.. its his foundation.

12:43 am

jillibus

phew, cos! I wouldn't want to be extolling a monster!

12:44 am

MLFAN17

12:50 am

hootowl

I tried to teach myself once but without feed back I didn't get very far.

12:50 am

MLFAN17

12:50 am

sammysmom

he is also learing to speak french and japanese and piano.. i am so in awe of him

12:51 am

MLFAN17

how do you speak paino?

12:51 am

cosdem

a lot of people are teachingt heir children with no hearing problems sign language at birth... stats show it works.. baby sign language its called.. helps them communicate a lot earlier

12:51 am

sammysmom

veery loudly..lol

12:51 am

hootowl

But then I also tried to teach myself french and didn't get too far there either.

12:51 am

12:54 am

cosdem

2:08 am

jillibus

you guys should read those Time articles -- most interesting

2:09 am

flosey

I had them for years, when I was younger, sometimes had to go to Dr's office for a shot - think it was Demerol

joshuavorbis

joshuavorbis

maybe it's an acronym that became a word like laser

2:28 am

sprite

lol jilli that was simultaneously!

2:29 am

sprite

I will not watch. Me watching is not helping them one bit and it will bring me down way too de4. I will dedicate every key I hit today to a prayer for all people suffering.

2:30 am

jillibus

hey there babblers

2:48 am

gortmold

just read back thru the chog

2:48 am

sprite

hi gortmold :)

2:48 am

gortmold

u r a wise woman sprite re handling tsunami news...how did you get wise like that?

2:49 am

sprite

through trial and many many errors. I finally figured out that for me the best thing was to keep as much positive energy with me as possible, and I truly believe my prayers and thoughts will be more beneficial than my depression.

2:50 am

gortmold

right on sister sprite

2:50 am

sprite

thanks gort!

2:52 am

gortmold

who hears your prayers?

2:56 am

sprite

to be honest, gort, I don't know. It is just a feeling inside of me that energy starts flowing in a different way as soon as I pray.

2:56 am

gortmold

I've never heard of that sprite, but it sounds pretty cool

2:58 am

sprite

it is personal, I think. I have never been part of any religion, but I am religious... in the ancient sense of re-connecting with an inner source.

3:01 am

gortmold

thanks for your answer sprite, very interesting, sadly gotta go and shovel nutrients into the open maws of hungry hippos

3:01 am

sprite

thanks for making me formulate something I usually only feel! Have fun feeding the hippos :)

3:18 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:22 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}} I've missed you!

3:23 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo :) I have been around, but not at the same time as you. How have you been? And how is husband doing?

3:24 am

rubyfoo

he is doing better, but is very stubborn (nothing new there) and won't take walks, wants to get on his new treadmill. I'm afraid he'll fall, but I cannot (read will not) be hist mother

3:24 am

rubyfoo

hello ARB

3:26 am

sprite

very wise, rubyfoo. Your husband must feel very much out of control as a result of everything from dog to illness, and I think he needs to feel in control very strongly. I have the feeling there is a lot of fear de4 inside your hubby.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

definitely, wise sprite. and loss of control makes him feel worse. Hopefully, when his (dreaded) daughter comes next week, it will alter his mood

3:31 am

sprite

ouch... so he will enjoy her stay but you won't?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

she is a very pleasant, if totally fake, house guest. And I have to hide all my correspondence files as I am sure she'll snoop

3:32 am

rubyfoo

he didn't even want her to come, but I thought it was correct to invited her now while he is still OK

3:34 am

sprite

lol that is incredible! Well, pleasant is ok, fake is less ok, but snooping?
I think you are right in inviting her. But how about some Jack-out-of-the-box surprises for her in places she shouldn't come? ;)

3:34 am

sandrafrances

morning all. how many words today please

3:34 am

rubyfoo

231, sandra

3:34 am

sprite

hi sandra, 231 pretty easy ones

3:34 am

sandrafrances

thanks

3:34 am

rubyfoo

that's a funny idea, sprite. I am putting letter files under innocuous names like "dog food recipes"

3:35 am

sprite

or a folder with: Not for you to read, *name*!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

or mark it "private" and then put a joke in

3:36 am

sprite

hehehe yeah like "you obviously don't know the meaning of private. Here is the dictionary def: ......."

3:37 am

rubyfoo

too funny, I am smiling already

3:37 am

rubyfoo

and she'd be too embarrassed to say anything....

3:37 am

sprite

good :) With a bit of humour and some form of standing up for yourself, most things are copeable.

3:37 am

sprite

lol yes I was picturing her blush already

3:38 am

rubyfoo

tads

3:38 am

rubyfoo

sorry, coffee in the PB?

3:38 am

sprite

absolutly. Fresh coffee and muffins and lots of fresh fruit.

3:39 am

sprite

I have fireflies. I wish you all a good day/night. Take care, rubyfoo :)

3:40 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}} it's always a treat when you're online!

3:40 am

sprite

thanks for saying so, rubyfoo :) Have a good day and please tell your husband I sa4 hi.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

will do

5:14 am

lil*monkey

I just had to butt in and suggest setting up a file marked "private," inside will be a nasty ugly picture of a naked person with the snoopy daughter's head pasted on it :) hahahahhahaaha

5:16 am

Hi Haz...how are you?

5:34 am

herinfernallady

My b.f is wonderful. Despite some bad news today he started and helped with dinner so I could have a proper shower.

5:34 am

Haz1558

I'm very well, Flask, thanks. It's got so cold again, though.

5:35 am

Haz1558

We've got snow forecast for tonight and daughter has set forth to attend a wedding in a summer dress and short sleeved jacket. Pride feels no pain.

5:35 am

Flask1

Perishing.....

5:36 am

Haz1558

I know. She's put a camisole under the dress but I think thermals and long johns might be more the thing.

5:39 am

Flask1

Oh Haz..when I was but a child (10-11) I had long hair and mam used to run the brush thro' it and I wouldn't utter a word, and and my Great Aunt Cissie would watch us and smile saying "aye, pride bears no pain"!!....such memories...

5:39 am

lynxxx

mmm PNG has been hit, hope SIL is not there

5:40 am

Haz1558

I think the older you get the more comfort appeals.

5:41 am

Flask1

Definitely!!

5:42 am

Haz1558

I can't make up my mind whether it's a good thing that technology brings news of disasters so quickly. It means you're anxious for news and immediate answers. In days gone by you were spared the agony of waiting.

5:43 am

Flask1

Am Still looking for AS5 and 6 first 2 AS words....Lynxxxx clue hasn't helped...sorry lynxxx!

They didn't say much - I think that the Tsunami had hit and next stop was Hawaii - and they haven't repeated it. I'll let you know if they do

5:51 am

herinfernallady

5:55 am

lynxxx

At least the warning systems are now in place

5:58 am

carleekat

53 countries are going to feel the effects...staggering

6:11 am

Not releasing wave heights from Hawaii yet.. just the first waves hitting and they are typically not the worst - watching live feed right in Honolulu - not looking too bad at this point. Have a friend on Maui - she's on a high hill and views the beach - too dark to see yet from there

8:33 am

morning, cad and nan!

8:34 am

waves were apparently small passing Guam but the effects depend a lot on local topography. Video from Japan was horrific.

Thanks for that, Soodlebum...my youngest son lives in Tokyo...and is fine right now, although worried about the nuclear plant that has a failed cooling system. He described the ground shaking and buildings swaying as they ran out of their apt. His girlfriend was home sick and would have been in the area where the water and fires were worst...my oldest son lives in Manila, so my heart is beating a bit fast this morning with mother's worry!

Hello cosdem: unfortunate choice of verb there for the chicken pie. On the radio just now they are talking about possible Three-Mile-Island scenario in Japan. What dreadful times the world is suffering.

I've been following the situation with the Japanese nuclear plant; they have lost some of their cooling abilities but still have two levels of backup that they haven't had to draw on yet. But it is scary.

I agree Kaplan: this morning alerted by the chog I saw all these boats just turned to matchwood: like Banda Acae all over again. Awful pictures of places burning yet a few feet away the houses are all flooded. Oil fires presumably, floating on the water.

5:44 pm

rururocks

it always amazes me that they give high surf warnings and there is always some dummy who goes out to the ocean to get close to it.. I guess that proves Darwin's theory

5:44 pm

se7 is very apt - there will be tons of this washed up just now.

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

TO is observing Lent- not relentless.

5:52 pm

uusue2

so now I am deconstructing the word relentless - to be without lent, again?

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am Lentless.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Exactly.

5:53 pm

scouser

so no change there then, eh?

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or to do less of Lent again

5:53 pm

uusue2

that would be relesslent, I think :-)

5:53 pm

rururocks

I am for that

5:53 pm

welki

or .. to not have loaned something, again

5:55 pm

rururocks

kaplan is more resilliant

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

more resilient than what?

5:56 pm

scouser

the word Lent comes from day-lengthening in spring so do you bounce back afterwards?

A visitor to Israel attended a recital and concert at the Moscovitz
Auditorium. He was quite impressed with the architecture and the
acoustics. He inquired of the tour guide, 'Is this magnificent
auditorium named after Chaim Moscovitz, the famous Talmudic scholar?'

'No,' replied the guide. 'It is named after Sam Moscovitz, the writer.'

'Never heard of him. What did he write?

'A check,' replied the guide.
