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
I'll be sending my sky diving/zipline riding little brother the link to this one too, Sky Dad. He was quite excited about the last link of yours I sent him!
ReplyDeleteAs for me. I know that would just make me puke, so nahhhhh.
;-)
I assume there's a washroom and cleaning station down there at the bottom...
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm with johnny! I shit myself just watching
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I thought that was a zipline at first and I wanted to belt that girl for being such a weenie.
ReplyDeleteNo way man.
You can go and then tell me all about it.
Sky Dad, here's what my brother had to say about it:
ReplyDelete"Holy crap!!!! I thought it was going to be another zipline, but WOW. It always helps when the participant is near tears before it starts. That was awesome... and yes, I WAN'T TO DO IT!"
Hee hee hee.
So where exactly is this contraption located?
I also pooped myself watching that. No fucking way. Nope. Never. Not going to do it.
ReplyDeleteNo fucking way, that is all I have to say.

I betcha there's a good reason they didn't show her after the ride. Her blue jeans were probably a muddy shade of brown.
ReplyDeleteWho thinks of these things?
ReplyDeleteLoved your previous post, btw.
At first I wondered what you wanted to ride on - but then I got my mind out of the gutter and watched the video. Holy crap - are you crazy? You want to do that? Yikes...hats off to you!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I sign up?!
ReplyDeleteWheeeee!
ReplyDeleteI would totally strap a diaper on and do that. AWESOME.
ReplyDeletePass.
