Man, instead of getting to go watch my little sister play in her All-Stars softball tournament, I am home watching my little brother. He is mentally retarded, with no real diagnosis on the horizon. He does show many autistic tendencies, so that is the general idea of it. He is 17, taller than me, with the physical strength that only 'special' kids have. And he...

Have you had any training in doing safe physical restraints? I work in a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed / behaviorally disordered kids and I have to stop them from hurting themselves or others fairly frequently. I know how tough it can be to hold someone safely who's much bigger than you and has that "special" strength. There are many things that can go wrong for both you and him and I'd hate to see anyone get hurt while trying to help someone. I'm not trying to pick on you, but if you're grabbing him by the head and he twists the wrong way he could easily become paralysed or possibly die.

I use and teach a method called Handle With Care. If this looks like something you could benefit from, I'd suggest contacting local treatment centers or social work agencies to see if there are classes available.

Good luck!

If he wasn't retarded I totally wouldn't have gotten away with a lot of stuff when I was younger. Break something? Blame it on him. He doesn't get in trouble. Victimless crime.



I'm going to hell for laughing out loud at that.

A lot.

Tonight was one of those rare perfect nights. I had to go visit my dad, which was quite a bit better than I expected, it seems like every time we hang out we get along better. Now I'm not really knowing what to do with all my pent up rage for him. He keeps being this nice guy and I am left going WTF?
Anyways,...

Jeeps are very cool but there are few things you need to know before you buy one.

A: Jeeps are loud. Very very loud. The soft topflaps around something fierce.
B: Jeeps can drive just about anywhere....but tires can not. Stupid people leaving stupid nails lying around.
C: You can never get the top up fast enough when it rains.
D: Breaking into a jeep is as easy as unzipping the window. On the plus side I have locked my keys in the car with the engine running 4 times now and I've never had to call anyone.

Other than that they rock. Go get one now.

Baby, sometimes I love you too much. That smell is the land without the pollution of the city. It smells even better in the early morning.

Well, I am about to be off on yet another wonderful camping experience. It is family reunion time again!! I have a checklist of shit about 4 yards long of stuff I need to get/do before I leave and , alas, I am not doing any of it. I really need to get my ass in gear, the bank will be closing in a few...

You used the following words in the Crazy Homo thread:
1) mangina
2) muff diving
3) reach around

Please be my friend.

Oh, the fact that you made valid points during the course of the argument was pretty cool too.

Had a blast at the river, floated the pony keg and had to buy overpriced beer at the Float House. Somehow managed to lose my keys (not in the river, though) and my brother lost my ID. My world is sucking right now. I've been spending a lot of time over at my mom's house, but I am home now. I need to go get...

I am in the midst of planning a weekend trip to the Guadalupe to go tubin'. It's for my baby cousin, she just graduated high school. What was supposed to be a fun plan has just disentegrated due to high school histrionics. Guess I should have planned for this. Her ex boyfriend wants to come, but I'm not sure of how her new boyfriend will...

Wow. Your life is like a mini soap opera.
At least things are interesting.

I'd rather it be boring. Amazingly enough, the weekend turned out relatively drama free.

One more cigarette then I'm off to bed. I've smoked too much and thought too much tonight. Posted relentlessly on the boards here trying to keep my mind off the tick tock tick tock that is all in my head. Time, my friends, is not my friend. Each minute is a tiny enemy, setting up traps along the way. I wish I could line charge...

Ok here is one of my favorite poems, figured I'd put it out for ya'll to enjoy...

Archaeology by Bonny Finburg

Young sexy women, an eternal fount of
sleek skin, alabaster and onyx,
honeyed eyes, yielding mouths.
But I prefer the avatars of elemental things.
Jill, baby faced irony and iron ass to boot.
Dangerous Diane, ineluctable eyes
that pierce the crust of bullshit.
Alice,...

I tried making moonshine once. Seriously. It ended up this putrid brown color. I was pretty sure it would make myself and anyone I touched go blind so I threw the whole batch out. I'm still a little sad about that.

Well, first time here on SG. In fact, just sent in an app. to become one (fingers crossed) I don't really know what to say about me, I am kind of an eclectic person. You may see me one day dressed up in my Texas finest, cowboy hat, boots & all, and the next in my favorite outfit (wife beater and shorts) I love classic...
