And a darned good one, of that I am sure.


Crazy Flamingos and Knotty Lady,

You can afford to act like I am complaining, it wasn't you who took the verbal abuse. I bring it up because a thread is begun on the slurs that ought not be used. But in reality, those terms are no more, and undoubtedly less painful to read, than a long description of one's presumed cognitive incapacities.

Not to mention, the added insult that was said that I "fingered my butt"...

First of all, I have a mentally retarded daughter. She has not ever done that, but it is hurtful to read that about me, knowing it is a picture painted of the highly medically involved disabled among us. I have worked on staff at an ARC and there was a man there that was a rectal digger. It is a terrible behavior that coincides with being extremely mentally retarded.

So that joined with the many other insults I have been the object of here of late, your making light of it, simply shows your own lack of tolerance, your own lack of compassion, and more obvious than you must realize, your lack of ability to refute my position politically or philosophically.

I do have a neurological disease that has taken a steady progression this year too. Perhaps I cling to typing at a forum, even where I am being hurt quite often, only cos I can no longer write with a pen or pencil. I am losing certain motor skills. Since I can type, I guess I attempt to type my lil heart out. My children will take good care of me, but it is not the way I had hoped my "golden years" would turn out. At any rate, thanks for the wine and cheese.

Right back at ya! When I write with far too much incoherence to be a member here, I trust one of the mods will make me aware.
