Friday night I went to dinner with my friend Gabriella, who is a former “student” and teaches pre-school. For the record, when women go to dinner we don’t just talk about sex and clothes, we get deep. After I told her my life saga, she nonchalantly told me that she was having a Read More

No middle ground. Deaf culture/ raising a deaf/HOH child is just too political
June 29th, 2008 by Loudest House on the Block
