As the parent of an Autistic child I'm getting more and more pissed off at the mainstream media's depiction of Autistic people as either cuddly morons or closet maniacs. The simple fact of the matter is that the Spectrum is so broad it is nigh unto impossible to create a realistic depiction of what an Autistic person is. I have yet to meet two that... Read More
So we're back form our mini trip. I'd love to say it was relaxing but between the horrible service at the hotel, the creaky, uncomfortable bed and the VERY demanding tweenager we are required to take with us everywhere, I feel like I need a break from my break. I didn't have a miserable time but I was hoping to at least have a chance... Read More
hey pretty, thanks for the comment on "Au"
I appreciate it
awww..sorry the trip sucked, I know how disappointing that is
my trip to Hawaii last summer was totally ruined by the workers going on strike the day we got to the resort
Well, it didn't so much "suck" as it did manage to tire me out more than it relaxed me and at my age the notion of a vacation is a LOT different than an 11-year-old's. That's why the Mrs. and I are working on getting away BY OURSELVES next year so we can do whatever we want or just relax.
Being part of this community has done wonders for my own self-image and it has slain in me at least one huge dragon in the realm of body issues. I won't get into specifics but suffice it to say that being here has been an education thus far and one I've started putting into practice. I'm especially thankful for the Big Cuddly Boys group for... Read More
Well thank you, Lykke. It amazes me how much society can dictate to us about who and what we are supposed to be. Thank God for SG and places like it that have the guts to stare into the face of The Establishment and all that it attempts to tell us about ourselves and respond to all that deprecating propaganda with a resounding, "Says WHO?" I want to lose weight but I want to lose weight so I can be healthier and live longer, not so people will accept me. The right people already do.
Time to hit the road, peeps! Of course where we're going will be amply Wi-Fi empowered so I will definitely be bringing along my entourage of magnificent SGs, hopefuls and adoring fans. As a matter of fact, anyone wanna ride the Twister?
Another school year is over. Watching these kids grow up in front of me is at the same time inspiring and humbling. I wonder what they'll be doing when they're MY age. What sort of people will they be? It's strange to think about. It's every bit as strange as looking at a picture of my mother realizing that, in the picture she's younger than... Read More
JUNE 21--An Amish man who sent hundreds of sexually charged text messages to a 12-year-old girl was arrested last week when he drove a horse and buggy to an Indiana restaurant where he had arranged a rendezvous with the child, according... Read More

You always know when an argument is over on the Internet. It usually goes this way:
"I don't like your opinion."
"Sorry, but it is just that. It's my opinon. You don't have to agree."
"Good because your opinion is stupid."
"I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm going to defend it just this one more time."
"Wabbit season!"
"Duck season!!"
"Wabbit Season!"
