Fun Memory

I had a really fun memory on the drive home. I heard the song "Kiss Him Goodbye" - you know, "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye"?

When I spent a summer in Mali, West Africa, my cousin and would stay in the village, with residents, and travel back and forth to the campus. We generally would have a group of little kids that would follow us around.

We starting singing them the chorus "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye". They never got the words quite right. They would sing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, toubob". Roughly translated: "...hey hey hey, cracker"!

This is fun! A list of movie quotes, most with clips, of the phrases that have become pop culture - "Say Hello to my Little friend", "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."One of my favorites did not include the video - "Tis but a fleshwound"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno

CI: Cochlear Implant -Success? Failure?

Here's a video of a "Bionic" woman, who has had the surgery, and is having it adjusted. Apparently, the surgery is not as bad as it used to be.

It's hard to get any neutral ideas about CI (Cochlear Implants), because most people are highly passionate both ways - either for or against them.

There are many anecdotal pieces from both sides, but hardly a way to see successes/failures together. How would someone know how to choose?

Plus, there is the issue of being "almost hearing" and "almost deaf" at the same time - kind of between to worlds, two very different cultures. Sometimes receiving support from the Deaf, and not fitting in with the hearing, and sometimes vice versa.
