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
So true!

ReplyDeleteReality is most of us marry that guy and are happy as clams!!
And why married women have a permanent twitch in their eyelid.
ReplyDeleteI can't even count how many times I've been the girl who gets the sensual "wait right there" finger to the lips and then watches her guy pee into some bushes. I love this so much.
ReplyDeleteWell there's your problem... you got a typo right there. Let me fix that for you. It should read, "Why women wish they were still single."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA. Wait, do real men drink Amstel Lite? ;)
