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. 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
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?"

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
Man, I didn't know they were doing a remake of "Sophie's Choice".
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, which was more awesome, the magic stick that sent the Jeep flying when it hit the radiator, or power sliding the horse under the flatbed trailor?
Wordver = sograte
It all looks so realistic!!
ReplyDeleteThe Ralph Macchio video had me laught my head off too!!
I didn't know that jeeps could jump cars like leap froog? wow! And the horse that clan slide under the trailor...he should play baseball for the Cubs. The making of a classic.
ReplyDeleteThat was so over the top it was on the roof! But awesome at the same time for that very reason. It sort of reminded me of early Robert Rodriguez (back in his 'El Mariachi' days when he had no money and a big imagination) only this was like Robert Rodriguez on STEROIDS. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. I got tired just watching that. talk about some Action Jackson.
ReplyDeleteum. ah. Well.
ReplyDeleteI have just CONVENIENTLY lost my appetite. I'll be back three times a day for the next six months. Ought to get me to my target weight in no time.

ReplyDeleteFirst, it's obvious that he can't be stopped, because the protagonist is masala and mullet-powered (whereas Rambo just had the mullet). I mean, they are not merely brass, but his balls are made of titanium. How else could he stop two horses with his crotch?
It seems that this leading up to him crashing that wedding, where he will undoubtedly up Dustin Hoffman's turn in "The Graduate," by five-fold.
