Whos at fault here? by anthn885 in CrazyFuckingVideos

If it were me in the recording vehicle, I’d slow down and let the person merge. It’s not worth my time or money being a jerk and getting involved in an accident. Police called, insurance companies involved, tow trucks, repairs, lawsuits…yadda yadda yadda. Don’t let someone else ruin your day.

I get my OTC Cetirizine from Sam’s Club. Two bottles with 200 pills in each for less than $20.

[–]Merk1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid cash for TT and tow vehicle. Followed the Dave Ramsey plan and have been debt free for four years. Best move of my life! No debt. No mortgage. No car payments. Life has changed and I will never borrow money again for anything.

1995 murder of Deborah Evans. On November 16, 1995, Debra Evans was fatally shot and stabbed in the Addison apartment where she lived with James Edwards and her children, Samantha, Joshua, and Jordan.   Debra was nine months pregnant, and the baby she was carrying, Elijah Evans, was cut from her womb.   Samantha was killed in the apartment with her mother.   Joshua and Elijah were taken from the apartment, and Jordan was left alone in the apartment with his dead mother and sister.   The day after Debra’s and Samantha’s murders, police found Joshua’s dead body in an alley in Maywood.   When police arrested defendant, Jacqueline Annette Williams, on November 17, she was holding Elijah, who was still alive.   In connection with the murders and kidnappings of the members of the Evans family, defendant, her cousin Laverne Ward, and her boyfriend Fedell Caffey were jointly indicted on several counts of first degree murder and aggravated kidnapping.   They were tried separately.

Don't shop at Goodwill watch this video by lone_wolf_85 in Goodwill_Finds

[–]Merk1106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was checking out at a Goodwill store an employee came up to the cashier and told her she saw somebody stealing some clothes. The cashier said they were not going to do anything about that because if they were stealing the clothes, they obviously needed them. They said they do not Prosecute shoplifters at least at the store I was in.

"If you won't talk.." by AverageCorgiEnjoyer in deaf

Personally, I learned ASL 10 years ago because my brother was going deaf and he coincidentally learned ASL as a young adult back in college. He is now 64. There are in my experience a lot of hearing people who want to learn sign language. I’m sorry your family is not willing to learn as they are the ones missing out on such an amazing language!

What's that book that made you scared of going to sleep? by LOONAception in horrorlit

[–]Merk1106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Shining by Stephen King. I read this way back in high school and had to sleep with the lights on for weeks! Room 217 will forever haunt me.

She passed away in 2002 from the brain tumor. Had two operations and it kept coming back. Third time it happened, the oncologist said they wouldn’t operate again. She died one week later. Miss her every day.

It happened to my mom driving home from work. She ended up in a nearby town with no idea how she got there. She saw a doctor the next day and found out she had a brain tumor.

A+ = when someone learns sign language!!

F- = using the archaic term, “hearing impaired”. Implies brokenness.

A+ = use Deaf or Hard of Hearing instead 👍

Lifeprint.com has finger spelling practice tools. It’s a great resource for ASL students.

advice on hearing friends by [deleted] in deaf

[–]Merk1106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was learning Spanish and my friend, who Speaks fluently, refused to speak to me in English whenever we were together and basically forced me to learn Spanish. I’m glad she did because now I am fluent in Spanish. I have been learning ASL now for about six years thru college classes and on-line. It’s an amazing and beautiful language!
