I think we need to replace the phrase "kick 'em in the c*nt" with "Clodfobble 'em". WTG

I just hope she reads it. I made myself cut out several bits about her personal failings, but I'm afraid there's still a decent chance she's going to toss the whole thing in the trash after the first few sentences. I actually included a photo of the kids to try to counteract that temptation, because it's a lot harder to just throw away a picture of cute kids, right?
God, and then I saw this today. Made me cry. This woman says a lot of what we're all thinking but never say, if you're curious. Last edited by Clodfobble; 07-18-2009 at 11:22 PM. |

Hey, could y'all do me a favor? Go here, and just do a quick entry of your name and click Send. This will send a fax to Nancy Pelosi's office urging her to include autism in the H.R. 3200 healthcare bill, and basically make a nationwide version of the Connecticut law I just talked about, superseding the remaining 37 states that still don't cover autism treatments in one fell swoop. Or, if you really feel like being proactive, you can call her at (202) 225-0100 and bitch her out for specifically excluding it in the first place.

Done, Clodfobble! And keep up your good work, to think if everyone were as proactive as you.

Awesome!
But of course, you submitted them anyway. And eventually, they started paying them. And why? because of people like you.

It wouldn't accept my address. We get that now and then. We're about to be re-addressed for 911, so maybe that'll work.

I just figured do nothing: sounds like the organization takes care of getting them to The Nance.

Man, what a smack-yourself-in-the-forehead moment I've had. You think you're so good at this, you've totally settled into the diet and you completely have a handle on it... Okay, so, both the kids are on calcium supplements since they're not getting any dairy. They make these little gummy bear vitamin things for kids these days, but Minifob refused them for some reason, so he gets a liquid that we can administer against his will rather than something he has to voluntarily chew. But Minifobette liked them, so that's what she's been taking.
The label says: Quote:
On her second day without them, she began nodding and shaking her head yes and no for the first time. The day after that (today,) she said her very first word ("bear") since losing all her words three months ago (none of which, incidentally, were "bear.") As an added confirmation, Mr. Clod and I have a running agreement that I won't tell him when I experiment with the kids' diets/supplements/etc., and he will tell me when he thinks the kids are being particularly good or bad, as an objective comparison to how I think they're being. He has mentioned three times in the last two days that she's being remarkably interactive and playful. Even when you know it's real, it's so hard to believe it sometimes. Now I've just got to figure out what to do with a 3/4ths full economy-size jar of calcium gummy bears. |
