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
Aha, that explains a lot...
ReplyDeleteOf course it's an island in Greece. Just ask anybody in Lesbos.
ReplyDeleteJY: Perhaps you could explain it to me then - preferably with some sort of picture?
ReplyDeleteKirby: He he he
Kirby-- you beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteI need to meet more people like this and stop hanging around with so many goddamned TEACHERS... Sheesh!!
WHAT? I never knew this.
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to cancel my vacation to Clitoris which happens next week. : )
OR it could be a Greek island depending on who's visiting.
ReplyDeleteWhat, don't the spammers keep trying to email you pictures too?
ReplyDeleteBO: I could have sworn she was a teacher. Isn't that her lesson plan on her shirt?
ReplyDeleteTeri: Could be a Greek Island... Now you are killing me!
JY: Yes, but not the quality I need for this type of serious investigation!
That's an awesome shirt. My lesboHos will love it.
ReplyDeleteGKL: You should steal that idea for your biz!
