    The gardener let out dog out a few days before Thanksgiving. We have never been able to find it.

    We mourn for our ugly chihuahua.

    And she likes fat dudes, so you don't want to see that.

      I finally got both the h1n1 and season flu vaccines today at a health fair I went to. I would like to ask the group to keep and eye on me, just in case I do catch the autism.

            What in the world would make you scream about this? She's eminently qualified to speak on the subject. I'm surprised you haven't read her recent publications in the New England Journal of Medicine.

              I'm still working my way through her most recent paper in JAMA.

                  Jenny McCarthy was only ever qualified to do one thing and that has passed her by. That would turn you crazy too.

                    I'd imagine that most men still think she's qualified for contract labor, ya know, piecemeal work.

                        Well, I don't think Singled Out could make it as a daily anymore. She'd only be used for select bookings, maybe a Friday night special or something like that.

                          I had a doctor tell me on rounds, that he thinks ultrasounds will now be the "crazies" link to autism now that the vaccinations thought has been somewhat debunked.

                            Jenny McCarthy is smart in the sense that she caters to the needs of those parents that are vulnerable and she had the money to get the best therapy and so forth for her kid.

                            Autism is not a disease so it can't be cured, it's a condition that has a wide spectrum from severe cognitive delays to PDD-NOS or ASP. Problem is, most students with Aut. don't just have Aut. but multiple disabilities (yes, I know, I have said this before). Plus we all have characteristics of Aut in some way but doesn't mean we are...lol....just because someone is OCD doesn't mean they are Autistic...hehehehe.....either way, there are behavior modifications, strategies, and lots of therapy that can help a high functioning student function in society or be, as the old saying goes, 'educable' or 'trainable'......plus you get more SS money with a kid who has AUT vs one who had DS or CP or OHI, at least here in CA, the Welfare and free money state.

                                Social security money isn't doled out by the state. And severity of condition does not impact how much you get. They either deem you disabled or not.
