I present to you, Tard Blog.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I would laugh at this, but then I'd probley end up having a kid who's got some mental issues due to karma, so I'll take the high road for once and just say, that's foul!</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I have a sister with Down's Syndrome and I still snicker at it</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Here's the way I look at it: how would YOU handle being a special ed teacher? You know you'd tell your friends these stories because you'd have to talk about it, or else you'd go crazy. My mother is a special ed teacher, I know she's put up with a lot of shit.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You do? Holy shit, I find out something like this here?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>For once? Just to relieve some of the guilt from watching South Park, eh? :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>And you, sir, are worse than Hitler!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes! :)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>She lives in Israel now. BTW, how you likin' Prime?</div>

On a related note, a NYT article about how children deal with an autistic sibling. (I'm too tired to find a non-reg version. Just make do.)</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>My best friend's brother(so he's like my brother) has down's syndrome. We always joke with him, tell him he's retarded, he calls us normal, then calls us Stupid-Face Chicken-Butts. He's also obsessed with DBZ. He thinks he's Goku. :)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>My sis can only say a few words</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Ah, well that's quite different. Aaron is blessed in the sense that he is like a 20-year old with the mind of a 9-year old.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>I've been reading this for the past hour...is that bad?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I read the entire page yesterday, which I was preparing for a presentation.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Misty, the autistic kid with Tourettes Syndrome. Fucking brilliant!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>What are you talking about? What purpose did God put these creatures on the planet other than to instill a kid-like sense of humor? BTW, cool avatar. (Still awaiting the movie...)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I take it you sent her the link?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I read the entire site, then TuckerMax.com and then everything else he linked to. No I don't really do anything at work.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Damn ,I have been stupid busy this weekend. I'll give Prime a whirl and call you before I leave for Florida.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Coo, let me know. Remember, it's not an FPS</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Okay, I started with the first story, when I got to the part where the daughter was born addicted to crack and with fetal alcohol syndrome I had to stop reading. So much potential life hurt and wasted.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Dammit, I didn't mean to double-post again, but oh well...anyway, I guess I've just been through too much shit in the last two years to not be hurt by reading about more people abusing the fuck out of their children.</div>
