Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 WOW! Thank God no one was seriously injured! I am so glad that everyone was Ok, well except for the car. Statistic's prove more & more that people who wear their seat belt's suffer less injuries and escape from death more than if you don't wear them! As far as her cousin being a Nun, Mother Superior and possibly knowing the answer as to why it happened; well to be truthful I hope she doesn't know the answer to that because it could be taunting. It sounds like one freaky accident, and one I am sure they don't want to experience again. Maybe the cargo in the car was just powerful enough to overcome what that nasty road had in store for them? One may never know the truth about that. Thanks for sharing the story. It's one more story that helps put things in perspective for me. Maybe that's why these things happen? Take care Jan & send my Love & Hugs to your friend and her cousin. Love & Hugs...Bert. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hi Folks, Actually, a labrador and poodle mix is called a labradoodle. I know, because we have one! People laughed so hard when my husband told them what kind of dog he is that now he just calls him a lab/poodle mix. They're supposed to be bred for people with allergies but be forewarned, ours sheds a lot of hair and grew larger than we were told to expect. He's a sweet dog now but was incredibly stubborn as a puppy and required heavy-duty training. We got him from Canada, as in, my brother-in-law flew to Canada and brought him back! We adopted him from my sister's family a few weeks later.

I never took the test myself yet they can tell that I have genetic deafness solely on catscan alone. If you did have catscan or MRI already.. ask about " how many loops " your cochlea have, average size is 2.5 to 3 loops, genetic deafness tends to be smaller (mine was 1.75 to 2 loops) and the doctor said " it is usually seen in genetic deaf " .

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 This is a most informational list concerning cochlear implants. Genetic deafness and size of the cochlear makes sense. Insufficient turns in cochlear therefore insufficient numbers of hair cells provided to hear well. Hermine Willey Columbus OH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi , Unfortunately, I can't help further because I don't have a mail account and can't access the options you're talking about with my screen reader and Braille display. I would think that the mail page where you read your e-mail may have some font settings under the " view " menu if there is such a thing. Sorry I can't help further. .
