  • It happened before

    It happened before and it happened to people just like us. The Holocaust happened because the general population allowed a group of people to become scapegoats. If we don’t look at each other as equals and respect each others rights, the same thing could happen again.

    You might wanna look up Pandemic Response Bill or RFID or New World Order, Army Class 31E, FEMA, Martial Law, and the G20.

    Your thoughts?

  • Did you know Speech problems are a disability?

    My son C is in Kindergarten. I received a call earlier this week about concern about him having speech problems. I had never really thought about it. I can understand him. When I sat and thought about it though I realized, yes, he does have speech issues. There are a lot of people who can not understand him. I asked him if his teacher always understands him. He said no. I asked him what happens then. He said he says it again :)
     
    He is soo cute. I really don’t mind letting them test him for speech issues and getting the help so that he can be understood easier. The papers came to fill out to let them test him.
     
    It came with a huge thing about parents rights and rights when it comes to IEP’s. (IEP=Individualized Education Program) and also all about IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). Talk about a lot to read.
     
    At first I was like why all this stuff. Christian isn’t disabled. I understood all the IEP stuff for W. He has educational issues but I was thinking why Christian? I was even thinking that when I started witting this. Then it hit me! Not being able to be understood by your teachers and peers is a big disability. Yes, he maybe able to walk. He may be able to hear. But many many people can’t understand him. That is a major disability. Hopefully this disability will be able to be fixed (Most speech issues can be) and he will be able to go and make more friends (something that is hard to do when many people can’t understand what you are saying) and do the things that he wants to do.

    What do you think of when you hear disability?

  • A very important reminder

    I have a very important reminder for those of us in the United States and Canada!

    This is the weekend that we all need to remember to turn our clocks back an hour.

    Which do you prefer spring forward or fall back or do you just wish it would stay the same all year round and not have to worry about time change?
