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
Arg! Eeeew! Eyebleach!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Probably better that than using one after someone with conjunctivitis, but psychologically speaking, I'll go for the gritty eyes.
ReplyDeleteWHAT. THE. F**K?
ReplyDeleteOf course I had to hold on to find out just what the dickens that could possibly be advertising. And now? I will never look at my towel the same way again, even though I currently live alone. WHO KNOWS WHO BREAKS IN AND USES IT WHILE I'M OUT!
Was that a loofah?? Great reporting here Chris. You should always post stuff up when you're on pain meds. How you feeling these days, any better?
ReplyDeleteHa! Google just tried to talk me out of visiting here. I got a big ol' warning telling me I would see unsavory stuff that I could never ever un-see if I clicked the 'continue' button.
ReplyDeleteGoogle may have been right on this one. Eww.
I still love you though! Now, please excuse me, I need to go wash (or burn?) my towel....
@Scope: No amount will help.
ReplyDelete@The Jules: Now you are going to make me look something up that is disgusting, aren't you?
@Veggie: You're right you know, the towel fairys come at night to wipe their junk on yours. Followed by the ice weasels, but I will leave that to your imagination.
@Diane: Doing a little better, the pain is manageable now, thanks!
@Cora: Google knows me so well...
wrong, wrong, wrong
ReplyDeleteMy gross meter is set pretty high...but this actually surpassed it without even trying. ewwwww!
ReplyDeleteUGH! Please help me un-see this.
ReplyDelete@Raven: My meter is off the charts, and it even gave me the willys!
ReplyDelete@Char: Scope got all the eye bleach, sorry you are on your own.
Missed your comment That Girl, sorry about that! Yes indeed wrong.
