QUOTE (Queen of Megadon @ Jun 12 2009, 12:40 PM) THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY. Seriously busy weekend ahead! it's my son's birthday. It simply defies reason that I am the parent of a teenager. Congrats on the birthday! Hope you all have fun. My kids are 12 and 14, so I know the feeling.

Woo Hoo!!!

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ May 20 2009, 02:20 PM) Here is a movie that needs remaking (and it is, I know...but it's a brilliant candidate): LOGAN'S RUN. It was fine enough for '76, but it's a movie just ITCHING to get a 2009 glossing. Never saw the original...

I thought it was a decent ending, as far as season finales go. I never would have thought Agent Walker would turn out to be such a badass! I was as surprised as anyone that Almeida was up to no good. I liked this season. I hope next season is just as good.

I remember when the original came out, and being immediately turned off by the title track by Kenny Loggins. I can't imagine a remake being any good either.

The world is different now, and we've surely lost something for it. That is absolutely right. I hate that my children haven't had the freedom and the time outdoors that I had as a kid. We were told to come home when the street lights came on... yep I was about to jump into all kinds of "when I was a kid..." but I dont want to be that person just yet! LOL suffice to say, I'm glad I had the freedom I did then, and I'm sorry that our kids dont have that same kind of freedom. My kids don't even want to go outside. All the kids are plugged into their XBOX or PS3 games, playing online. There are a lot of kids in my neighborhood, but I very rarely see any of them outside playing.

I love this show.

I'm sick of temps in the teens and snow and salt and grey bleakness. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s114/jkr77/discount-paxil.jpg Don't worry PTA. The days of hanging out, having a beer at T & A, and checking out the scenery in Hoboken are just around the corner. Hang tight my friend!

I don't know that I've EVER seen him look so serious! Yeah, he looks very stoic. That's serious business for a kid his age!

QUOTE (Rolinda Bonz @ Feb 23 2009, 03:57 PM) i've been meaning to post, but i've been putting it off, because there's so much to tell!! i took Tim, my 9 year old son with autism, to tucson last monday to meet with a HANDLE practicioner. we met Kim in her home for 2 hrs to observe Tim and try various exercises with him. it was really neat to watch the way she worked with him and the level of respect with which she treated him. she is an RN, but she is unlike any teacher or doctor we have ever visited, in that she explained everything she did to Timothy, why he was here, what she hoped to do, why the door was closed, why the curtain was open, what he was hearing even though he pretended to be busy with toys, what things in the room made him curious or agitated. i could see those things too, but i never would have paid any attention to them had she not pointed them out. Kim's description of things reached Timothy on a very personal level, and he liked and trusted her almost instantly. then she sent us away for 2 hours so that she could focus and prescribe a custom program for Tim. when we got back, she gave me a long list of exercises and explained each one of them. what i'm to do, how to do it, why to do it, when to stop, what to expect, etc. and then she guided me in trying them with Tim. about 15 different things, they take us about 10 minutes to do each night now that we know how. at first i didn't give too much credence to them, but when i did one wrong, oh boy! he jumped up off the floor and said "that's enough!" from that i knew there was definitely something to this stuff. tuesday night we tried them at home...took about a half an hour with me continually referring back to the paper list. wednesday night was much quicker. timothy is eager to cooperate. after we were done he started crying inconsolably, and i realized he was late for dinner. i quickly heated up some canned ravioli, which he hooved. the weird thing was, he didn't spill any. he didn't get any on his clothes or smear any on the wall. he did use his napkin, only for the first time ever without prompting. on thursday, i figured i'd better feed him before we got started with the exercises. but as i was making his dinner, he asked, "exercises?" friday was uneventful, but this weekend, i am happy to report that his bm's were normal and regular WITHOUT taking any miralax. life is good. (yes, i know that's more than you wanted to know...its more than i want to know too! ) anyway, last night we watched the dvd that we made at Kim's house, and Tim was absolutely delighted to watch himself on tv. he kept rewinding and replaying and laughing at TimmyTV. i asked him if he liked Miss Kim and would like to go back. he pointed to the door and said "go see him." today we drove down for a follow up appointment with Kim. we did the exercises and learned a new one too. we'll go back once each month for 7 months. i am intrigued and hopeful. Very cool Roli... It's always good to hear success stories.

Love this movie! Lots of memorable quotes, but here are a few of my favorites. [Thinking to himself] Ted Striker: I've got to concentrate... [his thoughts echo] Ted Striker: concentrate... concentrate... I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Hello?... hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon... Manny Mota... Mota... Mota... [Crowd Cheers] Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it? Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious. Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee. Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you. Young Boy with Coffee: Cream? Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men. Johnny: Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto! It's a twister! It's a twister! Jive dude: Shiiiiit Translation: Golly!

Merry Christmas all!! Enjoy

They did a great job with this program, and he took it very seriously. I'm pretty proud of this kid. (D.A.R.E. is "Drug Abuse Resistance Education") Nice Job K!
