This is a funny story I read on another Deaf forum: DON'T FART IN BED This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years. The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke. The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor; she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued to rip them out! Then one Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the bowl where she had put the turkey innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts and a malicious thought came to her.. She took the bowl and went up upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling back the bed covers, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts. Some time later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bathroom. The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes! After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said, "Honey, you were right. All these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you." "What do you mean?" asked his wife. He replied, "Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God, some Vaseline, and these two fingers, I think I got most of them back in!"

Pager Etiquette When to Unplug Do not drive distracted Use a land-line whenever possible Use capitals and proper spelling and grammar, even on a PDA Devote your full attention to people you're in the room with, (dining companions, coworkers in a working session, the facilitator and other team members in a meeting, etc.) unless you excuse yourself. If you must take a call, excuse yourself and leave the room until you are finished. Do NOT distract others in public places where they might be concentrating or enjoying the experience (parks, performances, libraries, etc.) Setting Your Own Guidelines Your company, or your family, may want to set up some guidelines for the use of electronic devices. Some things to consider: "Check Your Guns At the Door" I usually have a "check your guns at the door" policy in any meetings where the attention of participants is required. This means that all cell phones, pagers, laptops, etc. have to be turned off. To make it easier for people to do without their gadgets, and harder for them to come up with excuses, I send a preprinted agenda with space for people to take notes on. (People who take notes on their laptops are generally also checking their e-mail several times an hour, checking the news and their stocks, or possibly even playing games! The tempatation of all that information and entertainment at your fingertips is simply too great.) This makes our meetings much more productive, and the level of participation much higher. (Maybe partly because everybody is in a hurry to conclude our business and get back to their e-mail!) Silent Only You may also have less formal meetings, touchpoints or workgroup sessions; or sessions where people involved with critical operations functions are required to attend, and are required to be "pageable." If this is the case, insist that all devices be set to "silent" and calls be taken only for emergencies. Technology Free Zones You may want to designate certain areas as "technology free" or at least "silent" at all times, such as break rooms, libraries, family dining areas, etc. This will give you some oases of peace to to think and plan, or socialize in person with co-workers or family members in the absence of beeps, clicks and annoying little tunes. Conclusion Manners are as important today as they were in Emily Post's day. The basics of courtesy still apply in every situation, they just need to be applied differently in situation involving technology. As they pervade the culture, hopefully more people will recognize this. In the meantime, you can start by developing some guidelines for your workgroup, your company, or your family. Pager Etiquette PROPER BUSINESS ETIQUETTE FOR USING ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATING DEVICES: "Cellular phones and pagers also don't belong in church, in a restaurant, at a wedding, a funeral, in a classroom, or at a seminar. And yet, because of the spreading influence of such gadgets, we've all had to contend with rude high-tech interruptions at the most inappropriate moments. Civility and etiquette, it seems, have taken a back seat to an unquenchable desire for constant and immediate information." the scribblings: The World of Text Pagers: "The World of Text Pagers Ways of life have changed for us, the deaf people. That began to happen few years ago when the invention of text pagers came out. Such as RIM 850, RIM 950, Motorola T900, and then Sidekicks. This morning when I was headed out to my biology class, I was surrounded by my friends waiting at the bus station. All of them were facing down on their own pagers. They acted like I was not even there aside them and did not bother to put the pager away to generously chat. Can you imagine yourself finally seeing your friends again and they all are too busy talking on their cell phones ignoring you completely like you are not even there. Not that I am against pagers, in fact, I do own a sidekick and occasionally use it for contacting reasons—not chatting reasons. I tend to leave my sidekick in my purse or backpack, and check every few hours to see if anyone has been trying to reach me. And when I am around my friends, I do not handle my pager yet I find them paying attention on their own pagers. It has been very frustrating. Some could go back and forward, to me and the pager acting like I am the second priority. So the importance is technology before humans? Now that has led me to believe that the deaf culture will actually fade as technology gets more advanced. The deaf culture is going to be all gone someday. Many predict that deaf culture will disappear due to cochlear impacts which is true, however I think the text pagers are a big impact on our culture. I see everyone talking to everyone via pagers. I have seen a friend talking to the other in just the next or same room! Sign language will lose its colors as the deaf depend more and more on technology for communicating. Unfortunately, it is impossible to avoid, almost every deaf person has a pager now and is ignoring others in their own surroundings. Text is their entire world now, plainly just text. It has been so disappointing to me just because I know the culture will fade away s l o w l y." Electronic etiquette - 02/26/01 Gadget Etiquette - Using Technology with Good Manners

First Kiss How old were you when you had your first kiss? My first kiss was during 1979 to 1980, when I was in 1st grade. I was probably 7 or 8 years old that time. I remember her name was Megan. It happened several times during recess. We were making a lot of kisses while sitting in the shade inside one of those painted cement pipes in the playground. Both of us never got caught. ;)

Hello dear friends of mine!! ;)

Before I start off with my message, I would like to point out I believe this is not spam. My message explains a very good point and deep concern with the Deaf quality of life. In the past few weeks, I have been noticing a lot of angry confrontations and frustrations between friends using pagers in activities, while visiting friends and important meetings. I wrote up a challenge to you to read and share with your friends. If you plan to forward this, PLEASE write a personal message and erase other people's emails and attachments to keep it clean so others would not get upset for receiving this challenge!! Peace!

Pagers Etiquette Challenge

I challenge all pager users to give up using their gadgets at least for one day per week!

I challenge my friends who use pagers frequently to turn them off once they come in my door to visit me.

I challenge all pager users to ignore all pages and emails during class times and meetings.

I challenge my friends' friendships on the way they use their pagers while talking to me. If I am being ignored in a conversation and a pager is more important than talking to me, get the fuck out of my face!

I challenge all pager users to TURN OFF their pagers when they are on a date! If you use your pager at all, your date will be TURNED OFF.

I challenge all pager users to set a good example of properly using the pagers and electronic devices!

I challenge all pager users to wisely use their pagers for emergencies.

Do you accept my challenge?

Here is my stand on abortion:

• I do not believe in abortion.
• Use protection if you don't want to get pregnant. It's more cost effective emotionally and financially.
• If you don't want the baby, you can always give up for adoption. There are couples who cannot have children who would love to have a baby. I have attended an adoption conference in Salt Lake City and met a few of those wonderful couples in attendance.
• Even though abortion is not recommended, abortion would only be allowed, after prayer and mediation, for 2 reasons: -- If the pregnancy is going to kill the mother. -- If the pregnancy is caused by rape, the mother shall be allowed to decide to abort or keep the baby.
• Last of all, I don't understand why anyone would abort innocent babies! Don't even bother trying to make me understand because I just can't.

I am impressed!! It is not often I come across a Deaf blogger who does it better than I do! Check out the scribblings!
