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
Are you trying to tell us that you regret getting that sweet Flock of Seagulls tattoo on your forehead junior year?
ReplyDeleteThat Kajagoogoo tattoo on my chest is the one I regret.
ReplyDeleteNever had the interest in getting a tattoo. WAY too permanent.
ReplyDeleteI have tattoos...and even a few on my rear...and someone's name. Don't worry...it isn't my husband's name so I'm good.
ReplyDeleteKirby: In a roundabout way, yes. It's my slippery when wet tat that I regret the most!
ReplyDeleteJY: I must admit that I had to Google Kajagoogoo , I am such a nerd!
Dick: My thoughts exactly.
Dirty: Photos, I demand photos!!!
Actually, that's probably something you should be proud of.
ReplyDeleteI saw the singer in one of those "where are they now" shows on VH1 a few years back. It came as not one little bit of surprise that he works as a hairdresser now.
I love my purple ribbon magnet that says, "Support Hos"
ReplyDeleteKristi, I could get behind that cause!
ReplyDeletethat's not entirely troo-- I still see bumper stickers for Strom Thurmond
