This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend
HOLY FUCK!
ReplyDeleteHow about that first drop off???
Look at the "Nitro" at Six Flags Great Adventure. I thought I was going to have a heart attack just going up the first drop off.
ReplyDeleteI never went on that thing again.
Peach Pit, or PP as I will refer to you now: I love coasters, the bigger, higher, faster the better!!! I just can't handle the spinning rides.
ReplyDeleteWhen do we go? Sign us up. Went to Cedar Point and did all 14 in 2 days. A lot of standing in line but WOW
ReplyDeleteI'm find the older I get the more my phobias are surfacing. I'm afraid of heights and the fact that nothing is in between me, the air and the ground. But overall I love coasters but I'm picky about which ones I go on.
ReplyDeletePP
Remember the good old days when people used to fly off these things every now and then?!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like wicked fun!
