Wet Suit Abuse

It’s time for hubby to consider some hearing assistance. We had turned off the volume to the tv in order to listen to some interesting stuff coming across the police scanner.

After capturing a bad guy one of the deputies called in for more info on him. He had a lengthy history of law breaking ways including drugs, assault on a law enforcement officer and “intimidating a wetsuit”. What? Hubby asks me “did they say intimidating a wet suit”? Of course all I can do is burst out laughing but finally compose myself long enough to tell him they said “intimidating a witness”. Good grief.     

A POX ON THEE AUTISM!!

First let me start off by announcing "AUTISM SUCKS". For my son it's akin to having a terminal, terminal disease. There is no cure. I don't care how many people claim that diet, strict routines, behavioral modification and other questionable methods "cure" Autism because they don't. I have yet to see Breaking News about the discovery of a cure for Autism and until I do my son will not be a guinea pig for snake oil salesmen/women.

I have to admit though that in recent weeks I have resorted to searching for better vitamins, and chewable protein and probiotic pills. He is also being given very low doses of Melatonin in hopes of helping him sleep more comfortably. 

This is a non-verbal 20 year old young man and every time I have to shave him, brush his teeth, bathe him, change his disposable undies, change the soiled bedding or beg him to please try using the computer..I cry. I can't talk to strangers on the phone or in person about our son without choking up so bad that all I can do is make a few croaking sounds. He never sees this. My husband only sees this if he starts saying things like "aw, poor fella" about our son.

HOLY SHIT!!

Why is there a need for such a critter? Hubby was in his shack....er...workshop looking for twine to string off our above-ground pool when he noticed this thing next to his head! What the hell? We had to run a few errands and left the monster in a plastic container in the kitchen. I warned hubby that when we got home and I discover that the lid has been removed....he was in BIG trouble. Thankfully the spider was still imprisoned in his bubble gum container. After allowing it to pose for a few good pictures we released it in our neighbors yard!

Before you get all teary eyed over our kind hearts for releasing it....think again. Neither one of us had the nerve to kill it! Not because we didn't want to, we were afraid it would fight back! We chose to unleash it on the neighbors.
