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 love Japanese game shows. I think it was Dr. Monkey V Monkerstein who said he missed the old days when Spike TV showed lots of Japanese game show clips before they started their All UFC, all the time format
ReplyDeleteI miss Most Extreme Challenge, but not enough to watch any other Japanese game shows.
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again! They are the strangest folks.

ReplyDeleteI watched this clip yesterday. And three times today. It's oddly compelling.
ReplyDeleteOMG, those things are full of mercury. That can't be good for him.
