Yes, this a local thing. (Dr. P, hi) but I was laughing hysterically at this while walking this morning. Probably looked like a maniac.

Pretty sure St. Louis is one of the few places where kids are "required" to tell a joke before getting their grub trick or treating.
Here's one for your kids if they need one.

Heck they told me it might be six months or it might be never. Have to wait six months before they can surgically "attempt" to repair it.Happy for you. Good job. All that clean living over the last few mths.So I'm officially NECK BRACE FREE!!!! Well, for now anyway. Doc told me not to throw the neck brace away and I replied I won't. Only for him to say, no seriously. Start rehab next Wednesday, although I feel fine honestly. All of the exercising I've been doing has paid off. I need to get x-rays again in two months from now too just to make sure I'm 100%.
Oh yeah, plus I can drive. :banana: But no high impact activity. Guess I'll have to put off returning punts in the NFl and my body building aspirations awhile longer.
Mrs. SLB started crying after the doctor left the room. Apparently she was hoping I would have to wear the brace longer. She's worried something is going to happen to me. I'm guessing it makes her feel secure knowing I'm under house arrest. So kind of a Misery thing going on here. If I end up with broken legs, you'll know why.
Thanks for the well wishes and good luck on the job Fishes.

Had a really awkward conversation with ex-future-ex-mrs. fish. We basically broke up over not seeing eye-to-eye about parenting stuff. We made a half-hearted attempt to try to see if we could work things out, but it was clear that it wouldn't work. Today I let her know that it's never going to work, and I'm done talking about it.
I told her that I think her daughter is on the autism spectrum and she should get her evaluated. She flipped out. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I'm right. I have a friend with two ASD kids, and I've learned a whole bunch from her about the warning signs for parents. This kid has a lot of red flags. Mom's in complete denial that her kid has any issues, but the daughter just started kindergarten and already got put in a group that meets at lunch with a counselor and the principal because of inappropriate behavior in the classroom.
I know I wouldn't take it well if someone told me there was something "off" about my daughter, but I was around this girl for 6 months and she's definitely got some problems. Mom's just too defensive to admit that they exist.

she's a single mom, with no dad in the picture. every guy she goes out with ends up getting run off because of her daughter, who dominates her life. I think admitting that her daughter has a behavioral disorder means to her that she's failed in some way. I would have stuck with her, but she denies all of the problems exist and just blames everything on jealousy and a need for attention. she's a really loving, bright, imaginative kid. she just has no social skills whatsoever and treats people, including me and my daughter, like objects. she won't follow basic instructions or even feed herself half the time--her mom still feeds her at the dinner table to get her to eat. when she's home, she needs constant attention from her mom and can't sit through even a brief conversation between two other people without interrupting, to the point that if someone else is talking she'll hit them to make them stop.she does weird stuff like licking people, and makes strange word associations--the last one she asked if "raw" meant the same thing as "disrespectful." I asked her what she meant and what was being talked about when that came up, and she said, "you know, like a seed." she gets transfixed by objects to the point of not blinking and if she's trying to do something like eat at the same time, she'll drop the food on the floor and not even notice because she's focused so intently on whatever she's looking at. if you point to something, she'll look in an entirely different direction and say she can't see it.

Yeah...ASD for sure. This may sound terrible but the best thing you can do is get away from this woman. She needs to focus on her kid.

I agree...and it does sound kind of terrible and selfish, but I also don't have the ability to become part of this. I can't focus on my career issues and my daughter and become involved with this situation. I figured I had nothing more to lose by telling her what I thought...she's in complete denial that her kid has any issues, but maybe if she starts actually looking at the situation she'll figure it out and get her some help. her school picked up on something in the first 2 weeks, but she has a complete blind spot when it comes to her daughter.

Dang. So sorry to hear that. There is no doubt in my mind Cal would have been the same way if he was left untreated. Please let her know that there is hope and things can get better. My best to her daughter and you both.

Oh yeah, for the second straight time I saw my GB at the doctor's office (he's a drug rep) right as I was being called to go into the room. He didn't see us sitting there and as he walked up to the receptionist, she said my name, he looked so confused. It was pretty awesome.So I'm officially NECK BRACE FREE!!!! Well, for now anyway. Doc told me not to throw the neck brace away and I replied I won't. Only for him to say, no seriously. Start rehab next Wednesday, although I feel fine honestly. All of the exercising I've been doing has paid off. I need to get x-rays again in two months from now too just to make sure I'm 100%.

A good high school friend of mine has a daughter who I'm sure has Asberger's. I don't see them much, maybe once a year, but I keep saying to myself "something is just off here." Her speech was so slow to develop and even when it did, she had this weird way of talking and strange personality. By the time she hit 7 there was just no way to believe this was a normally developing girl. I've never discussed it with them for many of the reasons you mention, but is this just what people do? It's not like he's an acquaintance. I've known this guy since junior high. You'd think he'd tell me what's going on. I suppose there could be some latent shame or something (no reason for it, but I could see that being a natural reaction), but it puts me in a weird position when I can tell something is up yet they never speak to it.

I don't know. My ex and I have always been very aware of my daughter's behavior and health, and careful to check out any red flags...especially after the divorce. This woman seems to have a complete blind spot when it comes to her daughter...she knows she's different from other kids, but focuses on her being unique and imaginative, and doesn't acknowledge the behavioral problems. If I ever even hinted that there were behavioral problems, she'd get defensive and it would start an argument. For a while, we just agreed to see each other only when our kids weren't around, but you can only get so many babysitters.

I almost closed this post with "best $100 I ever spent" and I totally would have meant it.I was just about to start knocking back some beers, but decided to run home real quick and grab some food for later. Oh yeah, you guessed it...the power is back on. FML. If I'd have waited about an hour, I'd have still been home when the lights came back.I got a hotel room for the night. Electricity, running water, cable, and intertubes. I'm so happy it's scary.

Barely. I've squeaked by every week so far. Only have one TE left and he hasn't had his bye. Doomed, am I.Ahh, the joys of parenthood. Came home from work today, soaking wet and filthy from the bike ride home. I was about to close the garage door when my son says "hold it" and asks if he can borrow my rake to go rake up my 90 year old neighbor's front yard out of the goodness of his heart. Unprompted. What a little guy. Same guy pretended to be interested tonight when my whiskey swilling lunatic aunts (in town from parts unknown, all of them, bringing the Overstreet Crazy total to 4 for the night) forced him to listen to them repeat stories and drone on and on (ask Charv about my mom's sisters). What a little guy, this Cooper.Same guy comes home, showers up, gets ready for bed and as I go to tuck in this champion of youth and kiss his head goodnight I notice a slight....stench. Hair is wet, but it's not Pert fresh or Prell clean. It's...kind of smelly, like a wet dog after a soggy walk. So I ask this do-gooder,future mayor; "hey Coop, did you forget to use shampoo tonight?" and he sheepishly replied "yes", and I said "when was the last time you washed your hair?" and he paused long and hard before responding to me...."July".'shuke said:Who else is still alive in the FBG survivor contest?

One of my crazy paralegals had gone to take care of her mom on Long Island last week. Mom was committed to a mental institution and is now dying. Now, I haven't heard from the paralegal since Monday. In other words, things no more sane here than ever.
