The second year I lived with a girl who was hearing impaired but could read lips. So yes, I know a bit about deaf culture. Not a huge amount, but a bit.<br /><br />The thing that really surprised me was the bias my parents had towards the fact that I was in this dorm. It was a bit eye opening, actually.Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-29085965006259060052022-05-31T08:23:15.169-05:002022-05-31T08:23:15.169-05:00Wow, you really read a fascinating variety of book...Wow, you really read a fascinating variety of books! I haven't heard of any of these. That's quite a positive review of Remarkably Bright Creatures- I'll see if I can get it from my library. I'm going to answer Deborah's question- Wendy has confessed that she doesn't waste time cleaning her house, that's how she has the time! Seriously, I have a friend who does things like mop the floors at midnight- nope! I can sleep if the floors are dirty, and I can also read on the couch if the living room is messy... priorities!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118496863906264340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-84534210318416333062022-05-31T08:16:59.762-05:002022-05-31T08:16:59.762-05:00Thanks so much for the reviews and suggestions.
