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
That was pretty damn funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna talk to Doc about making you a contributing editor o'er at Social Zymurgy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they told me at the end that it was a joke. I HATE beer, but I am willing to try anything except sensible diet and exercise to shed a few pounds..
ReplyDeleteDamn the bad luck.. now I hafta find something else
I love how she just pounds one down at the end! Damn funny!
ReplyDeleteI have been a practitioner of this diet for about twelve years now and I must admit it has helped me keep my girlish figure.
