Something to watch

-
These past couple of Tuesday evenings I have caught a show on ABC called iCAUGHT (no pun intended). I saw an ad for it and it sounded kind of interesting to me.

It is about the video revolution going on around us, how often we are all caught on video, and how the distinction between TV and internet video is blurring.

Some of it is a bit lame, they have to assume that the folks out bumfuck Missouri aren't up on those internets yet, but there are some good stories as well.

The show synopsis is here.

To me, the best part of the show, and what I am writing all of you about, comes at the end. The host, Bill Weir, asked everyone watching to send in 3 words. Just 3 words about their life, whatever, and the put together a montage that was amazingly moving to me. There are 2 of these montages posted here, do yourself a favor and watch them. Let me know if they affect you also, or if my emotions are just running a bit too close to the surface.

Then leave a comment in 3 words!

Here are 3 words for you all:

Love My Blogroll!

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

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

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
