Dear Powers That Be:

HOW MANY ARTICLES ON MUSIC AND TODDLERS CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE IN THIS DATABASE?

BETTER QUESTION: WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK OVER 830 SEARCH RESULTS TO FIND, MAXIMUM, TWENTY. DAMN. RELEVANT RESULTS????????

Seriously. I have clicked and re-clicked the "AND" option, yet it still insists on showing me a zillion articles that contain ONLY "music" or "toddlers." Moreover, there is no "NOT" option, and I am really, really, REALLY sick of getting excited and clicking something only to discover that it is YET ANOTHER article about music for toddlers at risk for autism, deafness, or other disabilities. Not that it's not awesome that music can help them, but SERIOUSLY, NOT WHAT I PERSONALLY AM LOOKING FOR AT THE MOMENT.

Also, this library is creepy. And freezing cold.

And I am whiny and petty and can't even feel ashamed of it. WHY DID I DECIDE TO GET MY EDUCATION, WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?????????????????


Yrs in crankiness,

P.S. Why do all the promising articles cost money to read?

P.P.S. What the hell does that MEAN, "culturally deaf"??

Wow, I watched an episode a Cold Case some months ago that showed this exactly. I didn't know how accurate it was because I've never experienced it or heard it from anyone else before so I had no way of comparing. That is pretty cool.

Try a youtube search for 'deaf' or 'asl'. The deaf culture on there is getting huge since video blogging is pretty much the perfect medium for their language.
