Rural School Districts Facing Need for Sign Language Interpreters

I found this fascinating quote today:


Mariah Kowach feels like she's living on an island. She's a deaf 7th grader at Craig Middle School with no real effective way of talking with anybody. "For the class, I can't get work done, turned in," Kowach said through her limited vocalization skills. Kowach knows sign language, but no one else in the entire school district does.Craig, like many other rural school districts across

Southernisms and what they mean

I came across a great list of Southernism's today and thought I would share it with everyone.


A whistling woman and a crowing hen never comes to a very good end. (be who you are)
Ain't that the berries! (that is great!)
As easy as sliding off a greasy log backward. (very easy)
Barking up the wrong tree. (you are wrong)
Be like the old lady who fell out of the wagon. (you aren't involved, so stay out of it)
Busy as a stump-tailed cow in fly time. (very busy)
Caught with your pants down. (surpri… Continue
