"Turkey's Done!"

I am the mother of three young men, two of them ( between them) have tourette syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, autism and bipolar,and severe attention deficit. The third recieved the gift of good health.
The word retard sounds very ignorant to me. Ignorant in..lack of understanding. Before I had my children I had no idea either.
Families such as mine are so thankful for empathy and compassion in our world. Unfortunantly that is not often the way it pans out.I believe humor,and education are the best way to teach people about differences. Our favorite movie is 'What about Bob " great tourette scenes ( I need to learn how to insert a clip from the movie). Anyway, I thought I would share what a large part of my life has been about. Humility is one of the lessons I needed to learn, my children have taught me alot.

I can't even imagine. It must be amazing to do whatever you want. I will be there one day soon I hope. Although being married changes your options too. Part of the giving and getting. I guess in the end it's so cool that we end up at burning man, and sometimes wonderful stuff happens.
Burning man ( in 2 burns ) gave me a new beginning. In the end I recieved something there that I cannot quite describe. I finally found my tribe!!! Thank you Burning Man Community... you are so freakin awesome!!
When I was Taking about humility I was referring to my kid screaming and yelling in public , and learning not to take the comments of others personal. I just know there has got to be an art project in here somewhere!
Anyway, I've said my piece.

I have no filter. Think what you want, but my love of Language, is only a partial indicator of my true personality. I just don't care to protect most people's delicate sensibilities. I've found, through experience that MOST eplayans are nothing like their screen selves. Some, unfortunately, are. If words upset you, then life has a big suprise in store for you!

[Ugly Dougly]

I was taught to beware of labels. Better to read the table of contents and find out what's really inside.

i agree.


words are just words...sticks and stones do damage, but if you give a word power and meaning, it is from within.

it's not the word, but how you react to it.

i had a discussion about this last night, as i too, often use words that are "offensive"....after watching Frank Zappa on crossfire , i more firmly believe in "It's just words"...

use them, play with them, make fun of them, throw them around, but don't ever let them hurt you.

i guess this all leads to the question of censorship, when to be an asshole, when not to be, community standards etc etc, what is acceptable and what is not.

freedom of speech is a two sided sword, but i dont really believe in the concept of 'hate speech"...it's really all based on perception and point of view anyway.

[Ugly Dougly]

Meh. If i have combat boots on and you have bare feet, then it's pretty lame of me to say "hey you should wear steel-toed boots" unless I only know how to be an asshole.

But I have other choices, I can avoid stepping on your toes. Kindness doesn't take much work.

One thing Danielle can't seem to wrap her head around...is how my friends and I would call each other "cunts", in a casual manner. The answer is, we showed each other our friendship through action, NOT words! Plus, spicy language feels good on the tongue. As long as someone is upset by words or speech, I find it irresistible to poke at them. Same with art!

Had 7 chidren , the 2 youngest have addiction problems , my son likes booze which he seems to handle ok . Keeps his job and all , but he likes pain pills and booze mixed and he has been lucky he anit dead. My youngest daugther likes meth , has a boyfriend who just got out of jail , and they like to steal thier way thru life. He will violate parole again and go back to jail and I hope she get caught for something also so she can clean up. Those 2 were the youngest when the ex-wife left me to care for all of them. Just 4 the of the kids ,the other 3 were from other wife . The 2 youngest were 7 and 9 and still have problems forgiving there mother . They are out of the house now , my son has his own place , but my daughter comes and goes , dont know where she is most of the time. Its nice sometimes the house is silent and I can do what I want . There mothers family has alot of mental illness , and it hit my ex at the time she left us . All my ex's brothers have it and they are in there 50's and still live at home. I think my daughter suffers a little from this to , one reason I think she makes so many bad choices. I give her my home if she needs it , cant throw her out . My kids taught me to be nice
