    The sign language thing is not something I did, but I certainly have several friends who did, and their kids are well behind mine in language skills. Is that a scientific conclusion? Nope. I have no doubt whatsoever that the signing is good, and helps develop language skills. What we've done...

    Ladies and gentlemen, I love this thread. Great ideas from all. For those above - doesn't have to be Japanese, but I'm kind of on an Asian kick right now. The soups mentioned above look awesome, though. The last time I had a gumbo was at a friends house. He made it with squirrel meat...

    Or, perhaps there are some people who, regardless of their political affiliations, never stoop to this level, and never called President Bush 'dubya.' You know, it's possible. But, please. Continue showing me how classy everyone can be by using "clever" names for the President.

    I, for one, think it might be nice if folks showed the office of the President a little respect, and referred to the person holding said office in respectful terms, even if he doesn't fulfill your political wet dreams. But I guess that's just me.
