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.

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

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, you wonderful man, you!
I love the decorations on your cake! I remember those - they came on a sheet of paper and you had to soak the back of the paper in warm water to get them off. They were rock-hard and tasteless but we ate them anyway because they were sugar. Awesome!
