Sometimes one person's voice 'gets the band rolling' but its helpful if more than one is concerned about something to voice their opinion. Someone on here not yourself mentioned about how some should get over it? Whether it bothers them or not the words used in a derogatory way not by people who don't know or if there is a media event that is degrading to someone with dwarfism people have the right to be concerned and aware and to let the media know if they choose to it bothers them. I have friends average, short statured and other disabilities. They are of different races, religions, nationalities. I don't question there concern when something negative appears in the public eye because unfortunately some not all see that image and get the wrong image of not just one but all.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 OH MY GOSH! That is awful! I have never heard of this .... I have been to a million doctors.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Please folks, maybe I used a poor choice of words to describe MY DEFORMITY, but when I buy clothes I am very much reminded of what my proportions are. The other side of the coin is that I can reach stuff that most of y'all can't!LOL Please accept my apology for my description of nobody but me. Another item of note: I don't think that having the breastbone deformity I have mentioned means that you have CMT but I think a lot of CMTers have it, also a high palate is part of that symptomology. I don't have it but my great uncle did. Jim Nash in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I was wondering if anyone found it hard to read. This is actually easier for me to read trying to decipher many typos.

It's interesting how all see it differently. ****** I had no problem reading it at all..in fact there was little hesitation on my part but I had my husband try it and he did have difficulty and mispronounced several of the words. I wanted Lane to try it since she is young and in the reading/learning stages but I could not drag her away from what she was watching on TV ( I think it was the top 100 most interesting celebrity women..I find it odd that she likes to watch this stuff )..anyway, thought I would put my two- cents worth in and I am going to try and get her to look at it tonight. **************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 OH MY GOSH! You've just proved my vp's point of view that my son can NOT have an iEP based on poor writing and spelling abilities. Nope he says w/ technology these things are NO longer that important. Now if we can just get him to write this in black and white or on tape!!!!!! By the way I had a HELL of a time reading it. Then after I got the gist of it all of a sudden I could read it w/ little difficulty. My oldest went hey wait a minute...it's all wrong, but then had zero problems reading it.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'm trying to make up a list of common words to describe the sensations arising from different air flow effects, both adequate and inadequate. For starters, there are words/adjectives like: stuffy, close, humid, cold, warm, stale, fresh, clammy, and so on Feel free to contribute - the more the better.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 H, My Lord, Cindi.. could she see the steam coming out of your ears? J Charlotte From: IPADDUnite [mailto:IPADDUnite ] On Behalf Of Cindi Swanson Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 5:28 PM IPADDUnite Subject: words And another thing! I was at my 40thhigh school reunion this weekend. A former classmate was talking about a mother who wanted her mongoloid son to go to church. I said are you talking about a child with Down Syndrome. She said well that is the term we used in my day. We both came from the same day...some of us have not come a long way at all. Again, still a lot of work to do.
