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. 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.

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
Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009
I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. 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
I was just thinking
ReplyDeletethe other day...

Bertrand Russell!!

He he he, lotta distance between Bertrand and Hugh, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteThese things crack me up!
ReplyDeletewow, you look like Hugh Grant? grrrr....
ReplyDeleteOh sure Teri, but I don't act like him... Haven't been out trolling for black hookers in some time!
ReplyDeletebwhahahahaha
ReplyDeleteDamnit! Why couldn't I have gotten Percival Lowell?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is that picture of Walt Disney from when he was alive, or is that now?
I have Walt buried in my back yard, let me go check and I will get right back to you!
ReplyDeleteWell I ask you, who doesn't look Kjel Magne Bondevik? I myself can't even go to the market without being asked for his autograph.
ReplyDeleteHugh Grant...damn...you're in the big leagues!
ReplyDeleteKirby, I had to look him up!
ReplyDeleteRaven, I think we have the same nostrils, that's all I can figure...
You may not look like Hugh Grant, but I'm sure you could get a bj from a hooker at least 58% of the time.
ReplyDeleteWow. A mere two degrees separates Walt from Hugh. And you so rock that Yamamoto vibe.
ReplyDeleteGKL: I can do 100% of the time easy. It's all about the Benjamin's baby!
ReplyDeleteBeth: I can do Yamamoto, "I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant" - just like the movie, did you feel it?
You know who Bertrand Russell looks like right? B F Skinner. I have posted my results, and I have to say, it seems like a random sampling of celebrity photos.
ReplyDeleteBertrand Russell a celebrity? I love his essays but I would've never thought of him as a celebrity esp nowadays in the era of Paris H.
ReplyDeleteWhy didnt' Chris Elliot make the list?
ReplyDeletePS - I'm considering only leaving comments on posts older than 5 days.
LWDL: I kind of thought he would show up for sure, considering I have actually been mistaken for him in an airport!
ReplyDeleteI would have said Hemingway.
