AUTISM AND VACCINES AGAIN? WHAT IS UP NOW?
Feds admit vaccine'aggravated' autismCritics: Ruling major concession after years of government denials
Posted: February 28, 20086:43 pm Eastern© 2008 WorldNetDaily
The federal government continues to deny a link between vaccines and autism, but the U.S. Court of Federal Claims has ruled in favor of a child alleged to have regressed into autism as a result of vaccinations.
Several of the vaccinations included the controversial mercury-based preservative thimerosal, points out the National Autism Association, which sees the ruling as confirmation of the claims of many parents.
"This case echoes the stories of thousands of children across the country," said NAA President Wendy Fournier. "With almost 5,000 similar cases pending in vaccine court, we are confident that this is just the first of many that will confirm what we have believed for so long – vaccines can and do cause children to regress into autism."
Fournier called on the Centers for Disease Control "to acknowledge that the current vaccine schedule is not safe for every child and as with the administration of any medicine, individual risks and susceptibilities must be considered for each patient."

Did anybody see this? What do you think?
I am not a vaccine causes autism person. It does bother me that now school age children will be required to get flue shots. Isn't that for the parents to decide?

SPEECH AT SCHOOL TONIGHT--BOY DID I FLOP
............I caved you guys........really bad.
I was to give an "instructional" speech tonight. I gave it on a subject I know well.
How to start a blog. I got nervous and got that "choked up" feeling in my throat and my brain went blank and my thoughts went out the window. I made good power point slides....I practiced...I had my notes and had made an outline. I just choked!
I did so well at "Richland Community College". Heck, I was asked to join the speech "Forensics" team--the speech competition team--ASKED!! What happened? Ah well, it was only one speech. This next one is to be a "group" project and that stresses me out even worse, because I am already too busy! How am I suppose to get with the others to do this thing if I have no time to do it? Then I look bad, for not doing my part. Sometimes it feels like the anxiety or stress or whatever it is, is really thick and being forced down a tiny hole in my "center". Does anybody know what I mean?
I will quit whinning now. I will feel better in the morning and erase most of this...I know.
I was not organized and choked and kept saying "Do you know what I mean?" and "umm"., a cardinal sin in speaking. I forgot about my note cards and held them for security the whole time. I just messed up and looked like a fool. It should not have been that big of a deal.
.....He filmed it. He filmed it. I sound so strange on tape. I hear myself and heck, I do not think I sound that way in real life....but I do! I must sound like a real idiot. What is wrong with me? Why do I think I can be anything? I am too strange. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I think I can be more than I am? Why don't I just keep my place?

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE PLEEZE!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you blogger for fixing spell check.
I can not describe the pain in my feet or my heart.
I am so depressed over all the presser I am feeling lately. Work basically is insisting everyone work overtime and I am missing things with family. I worked 12 hours again, 7pm Sunday to 7am Monday. My feet are so sore. They act as though one day of overtime is not enough but I can not do anymore than that. The time is just not there. I am not the only one. They are demanding it from everyone---except themselves. They are "Administration" after all. When they are sick they take all the time they need, and require not doctor slips and get no penalties. They can afford insurance
School is requiring so much right now. I have papers due and speeches and presentations to give. My family had a party at my moms Sunday, for my niece, who graduated from college with her degree in Sociology-----guess who could not go.
My feet hurt on the bottom. It hurts to walk and that is all I do is walk. I do not mean to complain. I have to work tonight and tomorrow night, then 2 days off--not really because of school. Pray for me please.
My friend at work "Sally" is 42 and single. She has pre-cancerous cells in her cervix. She has a sister and aunt who died early from it. She went to the hospital for a simple surgery Thursday and they sent her home.....why? No insurance, will not take payments...she can not afford insurance, She is single....This sounds sexist and awful but........
I have been praying God will find her a husband to take care of her. I am worried about her. I think she needs a really wonderful man, who works hard and has insurance.
I am sorry.....call me a Socialist, Commie, tasty Canadian sympathizer but I want socialized medicine. I want it for everyone! Medical care is too expensive. Thew people who do not want it are people who can afford insurance and payments....otherwise, the attitude is we are useless eaters who are lazy and looking for a "nanny state" to take care of us.
Look, my nieces husband is a Doctor, they just built a multi-million dollar house. When their kids are sick...even out of state on a vacation....all they do is call their doctor and get special meds prescribed without any need of being seen by a doctor first. How nice.
Yes......Call me a Socialist or stinking commie! I want socialized medicine. The medical profession does not want it because they want more money but the problem is; it is not even realistic to think that a person can just walk in to a hospital or clinic and hand them thousands of dollars, when they only make about 10.50 an hour!!! Get real!
I gotta go get ready for stinking work. My feet hurt so bad. It is not funny.

FROM A SIMPLE MIND.......
My kids are being little stinkers this morning.
I finished an outline for a speech I have to give next week. I sent it off to the good DoctorB to have him check it. I like speach class. I am making power point slides to go with it.
There are some business people in the same class that I am sure, will give very good and professional presentations. I am just wanting to get the basics right. I am not looking to be the "best". I did get an "A" in the last speach class I took and it was a fun class.
Junior is scripting a lot lately. Too much, in fact. It just occured to me he has speech therapy this morning. Gee, I will never keep up.
Hey, just a question....
Why are vitimans so big? I do not get it. They are so hard to swallow because they are so big. We are suppose to swallow them aren't we? Not choke to death! Hmmmmm.........
(WHY WONT MY SPELL CHECK WORK? I HAVE REPORTED IT.)

HERE I GO AGAIN!
Oh my, my, my........
My class today starts at 8AM and goes until 12 noon. I am exhausted. What else is new?
I took Noddy and Niles to see the "Golden Dragons", the acrobats from China, last night. Junior stayed home with the hubby and they had a pizza party. He loved it!
Work tonight at 11pm-7am tomarrow. Then another 12 hour shift Sunday into Monday. This will be the sixth or seventh Sunday in a row for those long 12 hour shifts. I wish they understood I am exhausted! I walk aproxamately 12 miles a night on a normal 8 hour shift. The 12's are a killer! I can not complain though, as they have changed my schedule to accomadate school.
When I "grow up" I hope to do something that matters. I desire to make a difference. Sometimes I think I am roo idealistic and dream too much. Maybe not.
I will have to get some good sleep before tonights work lest I fall over. LOL
Did any of you see the "Larry King Show"?
When will somebody care about the normal parents and the problems we have with our autistic kids in public school? When will we be heard by somebody? When will anybody care about the fact that we love our kids more than anything and do not see them as a burden? When will someone see the sacrifices we have had to make. When will someone care that out of desperation and love we have had to begin homeschooling our little ones and that we see it as not a sacrifice but an act of love? Who cares about the average parent who strives to make things better for their children? When will someone care about what you and I have to say? When will someone care about what our children have to say?
Blogging has put me in touch with the most inspireing parents in the world. Someone needs to ask us some questions...It is about time!

GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN. NIU.....
I saw the news at 4 in the afternoon yesterday.
May God help our children.
My thoughts and prayers are with our children at NIU (Northern Illinois University).
I am so sorry so many parents lost their children. I can not imagine the grief and pain. May God hold you in his hands and rest you there. It is just so sad...what a loss to all of us.

WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE REALLY BORED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS.
fxsmom,
Thank you so much for the award. It is my first one!
There were bargin, bargins at Wal-Mart yesterday. I went in there when I got off work. I wanted to pick up something for the kids for "Valentimes" day. I got Junior a new winter coat for next year, it was $9. I got 20 pairs of assorted Hanes jogging pants for the kids, they were only $2 a peice and 6 shirts for them at $3 each! WOW! I got as much as I had the money for. I got them deli pastries too. I do not think they cared much one way or the other.
I had school last night and it is different. I will be having Thursday and Fridays off for a few weeks, to accomidate my Thursday and Saturday classes. That is one thing that work has done for me. They still want me to work too much. I will have another 12 hour Sunday into Monday. It is the 6 or seventh week in a row now. Can you believe they called yesterday and wanted me to work my days off. I said NO! I do not understand what is going on with scheduling, but someone better fix it. People are getting upset.
I am excited about taking Noddy and Niles tonight. I hope they have a great time. I will have school in the morning (Saturday) at 7am, then back to work at 11pm Saturday night. I do not know what a day off is. I need a break so bad.....at least I think I do.
Well it is 4:47Am on a brisk Friday morning. I think I shall go to Wal-Mart for milk and hair color. Sounds like fun!

LARRY KING TO INTERVIEW AUTISTIC PEOPLE ON CNN?
Autism Breakthroughs
Jason McElwain inspired the world with his incredible shot at a high school basketball game. Larry King talks to him and others about autism. Monday, 9 p.m. ET
This is going to be CNN. I just thought some may be interested.
So when are they going to interview a normal average mom or the struggles of low income parents? Nobody wants to interview people like that. If they are talking to autistic people and not rich Hollywood stars, maybe it will be a descent show. We will see who the "others" are. I bet they are rich and famous people. We will see.
I DID NOT GO....
I told my sister, Gene, that I was not going. I was just too tired. I also had told her if I did decide to go I would not bring the kids. She said "Well don't come at all then. I just thought Noddy and Niles would have fun with the other kids.". So I went to bed. I got off work and went to the store. I will have to go to bed shortly because I must be at work at 7 tonight and work until 7 tomarrow morning. I will not have a day off until Thursday. It feels like forever.

IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
I am so sorry for not being able to visit your blogs lately. I miss doing that. I have been so busy. I just want to be left alone to sleep as long as I want to and it is not happening. This thing for my mom is really not good, but she is 86 years old. She has been missing my late father real bad lately and talks about wanting to be with him. My sisters just wanted to cheer her up a bit. They got an "ELVIS" impersonator and everything. I kinda HAVE to go. Maybe I will be alright. I promised the kids we will do something special together on Friday.
AM I REDICULOUS?
I worked last night--There is a suprise party for my mom at 12noon today--I have to be at work at 11pm--I have to work 12 hours on Sunday--I will finally be off Thursday night and Friday night---if you can call it that--I have school Thursday night and Saturday morning. I started my work week on Wednesday night. I am tired.
I know it sounds mean, but I am going by myself to moms party. They are having it in a bar, of all places. They=my older sisters who planned it. They always plan things at this place. I absolutly do not drink and do not like being around drinkers. When I first heard about it from my sister Roberta, she said "I know you are not going to like this, but we are having it at LockStock".
I am not a stuffy, party pooper. I do not mind going to family gatherings when they all have beers and such....But some of my neices and nephews, the younger ones, are bringing their kids...I just will not do it. I do not want my kids in a place like that. What kind of a messege does that send to children? One sister is thrilled that now they can go there and not worry about the smoke from cigerettes (new non-smoking laws). Big deal! No smoking but you can drive home after you have had a few drinks? I do not know.....I just think it is no place for children, even if the others are taking theirs.
One sister said, she thought it might be too loud for Junior, so maybe he and Hubby could stay home. They just do not want Junior there as he will be different. That makes me sick. He is so cute. Roberta asked this morning, if I was bringing the twins. I told her no. She just can not understand why not. The hubby and I do not go in those places, so why would I take my kids. I would not go if it was not for mom. I hate drinking and drinking and driving.
Drinking kills people, hurts people, breaks up familys. It makes husbands beat their wives and children and causes car wrecks and deaths of the innocent. I will not particapate. I will not send my children the signal that that is how we have "fun". We have drilled in their heads the evils of alcohol and drugs. Scenes of Britney Spears has been a good example for them. Why would I take them to a bar for heaven sake!
"No drinking and driving" + parking lots in bars + drive through liqour=oxymorons?
We are a weird country. Weird laws. Weird people. Do not drink and drive but you can drive to the bar. What are we thinking? I would wager a bet that the vast majority of people who drive to bars, go to drink beers and such, wouldn't you? Gee.
What do you think? Am I rediculous?

THE NEW "LOOKS" IN STYLE...
LEFT:
Here, to the left, we have the "I am a space shuttle girl" look.
Here, to the left, we have the "I am a space shuttle girl" look.
RIGHT : The "Out of the hamper" look.
LEFT :
This is the "I brought my own barf bib" look.
RIGHT:
The "I really did not know what to wear, so I put this on" look.
LEFT: This is the "Gee I really hope they hire me" look.
I know we are all anxious to purchase these lovely, stylish items as soon as possible!Where would we be without "high fashion" experts, like the ones who designed these clothes, to guide us into what we should wear. Go to the grocery, pharmacy or gee whiz Wal-mart! and wear one of these outfits. I am sure you will get lots of stares.
FASHION--just for fun
Oh! and great newz ladies....The dried out, over processed, bad hairday look is in. I have "high fashion hair"! I am actually in style! Get out those blow driers and krimpers.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WEATHER?
I went to school last night in 34 degree, freezing cold, windy rain! Then there was a litteral TORRENT!!!!!! All the sudden all the roads and streets were flooded.
At 4:30 , I looked at the clock and then out the window. I got this little feeling inside saying "You need to leave early for school". It was wet, rainy and cold but nothing extreem. The radar showed lots of rain coming, but it was 34 degrees at the time. Just icky wet rain.
So I left early and half way there a daluge started. By time I got to school it was just awful. There was a lot of thunder, lightning and wind. Other class mates began to arrive around 5:30 or so and they were telling me everything was under water, just that fast.
We took our test and had a wonderful guest speaker from the FBI-A criminal investigator. He investigates crimes against children. He was just awesome! Those guys are my heros, for sure! Not many people can do that. He is just an awesome person. Those people who do that work are true American heros, right here on the "home front" that is for sure! Any way.....
It continued to rain and rain. It did slow down a bit. By time we left the roads had cleared up.
Now, I wake up and find out they had tornadoes, down South that have killed at least 20 plus people! It is the middle of winter, for goodness sake! Thank God it did not get to 32 degrees last night. We did not have a freeze here. What is up with the weather? It is crazy! We had thunder and lightening and rain all night. Storms come in the Spring. It is suppose to be warm to storm isn't it? I am truely confused as to what the weather is doing. That 9-11 inches of snow we got a few days ago....Gone! Just that fast and with all the rain, it is a mess.
What is wrong with the weather?
(Spell check is still not working and I need it)
At 4:30 , I looked at the clock and then out the window. I got this little feeling inside saying "You need to leave early for school". It was wet, rainy and cold but nothing extreem. The radar showed lots of rain coming, but it was 34 degrees at the time. Just icky wet rain.
So I left early and half way there a daluge started. By time I got to school it was just awful. There was a lot of thunder, lightning and wind. Other class mates began to arrive around 5:30 or so and they were telling me everything was under water, just that fast.
We took our test and had a wonderful guest speaker from the FBI-A criminal investigator. He investigates crimes against children. He was just awesome! Those guys are my heros, for sure! Not many people can do that. He is just an awesome person. Those people who do that work are true American heros, right here on the "home front" that is for sure! Any way.....

DID YOU SEE THIS STORY?
I was scanning "The Druge Report" a few minutes ago and saw this story.
Middle school issues ban on intentional flatulence
By Holly S. Anderson VillageSoup/Knox County Times Senior Reporter
"CAMDEN (Feb 1): The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief: "flatus expelled through the anus." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.........."
Interpetation: Boys are playing farting games. And, what else is new?
Isn't it funny how somethings never change...just the people do. Gee...guys were doing this this back in the wee, early 1970's, when I was in junior high. (Forever) It is not a big deal or some new sign of social degredation. It is what all male of the species seem to participate in, when they are searching for masculinity and the desire to be part of a group. Some men still participate in this ritual through, what is suppose to be , adulthood.
I am amazed that the principals and teachers and other rediculous "professional" do not remember what they were like when they were young. Or are these disgusted school officals young and have we raised weird, NT children? Do any of these people remember childhood and early adolecence at all? Gosh, we had better be careful. Do not laugh or you may get hauled into the principals office.

STRESS AND STORMS AND HUNGER
We got like 11 inches of snow the other night. Friday night I think. Then we had intense fog as the temps rose. SSunday night we had 32 degree thunder storms with rain then hail and a tornadoe to the northeast of us--32 degrees! Huh? Then two days of intense, thick fog and rain. The snow is almost gone and it has rained all night. How is that for crazy weather?
I got home from work on Monday morning. Went to bed around 10:30am so I would wake up and have the evening with the kids. No such luck. See I worked 8 hours Saturday night, got home at 7am Sunday and had 4 hours of sleep and got up and went to work at 7pm Sunday and worked till 7am Monday. I slept till 9:30pm. My "Monday off" was gone and all over. I have been up finishing my paper for school.
I have no idea what I am doing or how to cite referances for APA documents. I have been using the Milikin University page on how to do it but.....It is the most nit-picky-jot-tittle kind of referance you have ever seen. I do not have a clue as to if it is done correctly or not. I have no time what so ever to go see the tutors in the library. That is a comfort I do not have, time wise.
I advise anyone starting college to maybe take an advanced English course at your community college first or make Advanced English Comp your first course. Really!
Tomarrow, today, whenever it is, Junior has Speach and we have errands to run. I have money saved for a nice used car and I will get one. I am going to wait until the weather straightens up a bit. I refuse to by anything junky. If that is the case, I may as well keep what I have. I want something with a tail pipe, new tires, air conditioning and a great starter thingy.
I feel fat but I am hungry and have not ate since this morning. I am going to look for food!
My "spell checker" is not working for some reason. Forgive the mis-spells.
