(Lots) lps in the news, no order whatsoever

[Guest guest]

I've been off here for about 2 months... I just had to take a break

from it all, even a break from myself and my excessive mouthy-ness!

I knew I was getting too mouthy on here and for what, to constantly

prove I'm right? Then I realized, whether I'm right or wrong, or

whether you are or not for that matter, I missed the following part

of me... a lot actually, and that was sharing all of what I found on

all of us online with all of you:). Whether it was on us in kids or

adults, in sports or academia, in Achondroplasia or the rarest from

of dwarfism out there... and wherever we were found around the globe

too.

So, for you all... and like it was in the past too, for you all to

decide on yer own as what to like or to agree with any of them.

Note: Some of you might have known of these already, I dunno?

However, if you did, oh well:P. However, if you didn't, it's great to

be you today!

In no absolute particular order, here they be:

Mom of an lp writes letter to the opinion section of her newspaper

about the derogatory nature of the word, midget. To read it, it's the

second letter down on page. You go, !

That adoption case which I believe many of us are familiar with is

appealed to the highest court in Iowa, read here:

http://tinyurl.com/28xqw7

I think the above kid should stay with those he is spending his early

years with, those who know him the best and who love him as he is, in

Iowa. My opinion only:).

A key protein has been discovered, Osteocrin, and one that may

encourage natural bone growth. So, hey, maybe ELL will be out one

day on its own and this may be the way to grow? Who knows, and

prolly not for many year too? Tho, I dunno if want a larger back even

if it does help me grown several inches vertically:P.

7 of the last 9 Munchkins in vid and article, and you gotta see it as

the reporter goes to each:). This vid was taken inside the Culver

City hotel in California, where they all had stayed almost 70 years

ago for the filming of the now famous 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz.

An American Express comercial may come up at start, so wait for

Munchkin interview.

That the short bodies for Schultz' Peanuts comic strip

could their bodies been really 'modeled', so to speak, after a

colleague of his named, Frieda Rich, an lp? A new biography of

the famous cartoonist suggests that, amongst other things as well.

Frieda, you on here? Or for that matter, does anyone on here

my sense of humor is odd, shut up! haha But, still, did you all know

that, 'Dwarf Crime' in Sweden is a 'Growing Problem'? I kid you not,

go there if ya doubt me!!

It did make me wonder if one of us was traveling on a train in Sweden

would one of the dwarf gang members give us a break and not rob our

suitcase's contents, ya know, kinda giving us a professional courtesy

thing. lol And now, I see I have to affix an additional sticker to

the outside of my luggage along with everything else required:p, when

Yes indeed, Alyce! I am VERY happy for him, to have received

this recognition of his work. And what a great picture of him too!

I will never forget the very first time I went to Hopkins, scheduled

to see Dr. McKusick, in hopes to learn which type of dwarfism I have. As

soon as he saw my hands and feet he became so

excited, he immediately began dragging me all over Hopkins to

show me to other colleagues! I can still hear him saying, " Look! Look at

her hands! And her feet too! " I was astounded how anyone could possibly find

MY hands and feet so amazing at all! But I will always remember with a

smile, how it was all I could do to keep up with my hands that day. : )

Congratulations, Dr. McKusick!
