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
NOW THAT...THAT is a truely great idea!!
ReplyDeleteOH GOD, now I can see all the men who have cell phones getting obnoxious sounds.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you know I can't view any of these videos at work, but I'm wondering when Blogger is going to re-size your right column of stuff. AND my header photo. I think my Great Aunt Betty might be in charge of those.
ReplyDeleteOh, geez. Now every guy I know is going to download that ringtone. I just hope they don't assign it to my calls ...
ReplyDeleteHL: I couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteTeri: It beats having us play tunes with our hand under our armpit.
TG: Who do I need to talk to at your job to hook you up?
Beth: Now why would we do that to you?
and hilarity ensued.
ReplyDeleteI would assign that ring tone to my dad's number. I miss him since he moved away.
ReplyDeleteI WANT ONE!
