I am just checking my email and seeing all the messages on this. I saw the first

one that Tina wrote and she was not making a political statement. She was saying

how the magazine used inappropriate language when talking about a person with

Down syndrome. (Thank you Tina, we will send them our statement and hope to

educate them)

My mother always taught me to never talk about politics, religion or sex in

mixed company. The reason for this is because in a large group not everyone will

see eye to eye.

WE ARE A FAMILY! We are here to love each other and support each other and share

information with each other.

If we begin stating our opinions on this political race that is in America (keep

in mind that not everyone here is from America) then we will break up our strong

bond as a family that we have grown here.

It is fine to talk about Gov. Palin and her baby Trig when talking about

advocacy and Down syndrome. But, when it comes to talking about your political

views, I worry that we will get into a very heated discussion and we will lose

site of why our support group is here-----FOR SUPPORT!

I have good news for you though! If you enjoy heated debates on this race, a

group of parents of children with Down syndrome are talking A LOT on this egroup

designed especially for this! (I advise you get daily digest or sit at your

computer all day long and filter email! LOL) The link for that is http://groups.

yahoo.com/ group/DownSyndro me_Political_ InfoExchange

Thank you all for understanding the importance of keeping your opinions about

this race off this list. This is the only way to keep our family together!

Thanks

oooops, my bad ~ sorry

 

I don't post all too often and when I do, jinkies, lookie what I did!  LoL

didn't want to cause an avalanche, just making a comment about an observation

 

hope you are all well, by the way

 

have had a very long summer with my husband and I seperating and 'working' out

custody, visitation, child support, etc. 

 

AND on a lighter note,  a few days ago I was on my way around town doing

errands.  I was at a stop light and someone was honking their horn.  I usually

ignore honks cause I never really think to consider they were doing it for me. 

Anyways, this gentleman continued to honk and finally rolled his window down. 

He asked me what why my MDS magnet was about because he never seen one.  I

quickly told him to go our website and all sorts of info was there.  The light

turned green and we waved to one another.  Hope he took my advice.

 

 

Hugs to you all and take care.
