lawrocket 3 #26 March 25, 2004 1. I had stitches 9 separate times before the age of 5. Child services investigated child abuse on my parents and the ER doc told them that it was a case of parent abuse and self abuse, and that the kid (me) had problems. 2. I failed out of college, got back in, and still managed to graduate at the same time as my friends and twin sister, and with a higher GPA than the friends. My wife is hotter than your wife.

mirochristie 0 #32 March 25, 2004 #1. I was born a left handed child. In pre-school a stupid/moron teacher forced me to use my right hand instead (and forced my parents also in correcting me back home). I developed Dislexia, thanks to her! and other huge problems with my reading skills, math and others. I saw most of the letters upside down or backwords... (Ej: "d" , "p", and "b") for me they were the same. When other teachers told me to raise my right hand, I would rise my left because every kid would say: "That`s the one you write with" .... So! Can you imagine all I`ve been through in school and college, cause of that stupid teacher?... Fuck her!, I had to take summer school EVERY SUMMER and tutoring also...every day! I ended up in a special school for kids w/ ADD, Insomnia, retards,...fucking every disability, until I got fed up w/ it and my parents switched me to a Art School (a normal school w/ concentration in Arts. 2hrs per day of Art workshop) this school helped me understand stuff in a liberal way and I graduate w/ honors! Don`t EVER do that to a child, ok?!!! Let them be! #2. Isn`t that enough?LiquidSky @(^_^)@ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #33 March 25, 2004 QuoteI developed Dislexia, thanks to her! A child does not develop dyslexia. It is a neurobiological and genetic condition. It is not good that your teacher forced you to use your non-dominate hand, but this did not CAUSE you to have dyslexia. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #34 March 25, 2004 1) I was probably the only kid to cry throughout the entire Bozo show (I was pissed I didn't get picked for Bozo Buckets.) 2) I was probably the only person to cry thoughout my brother's wedding (I was pissed he was leaving me all alone with my parents.)There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have injected myself at a bare minimum of 10,220 times with insulin. (daily for 28 years) (Diabetes-Type 1-diagnosed at age 10) The first 12 years of injections was with insulin derived from pork and/or beef- then changed to Humilin insulin for the last 16 yrs. Despite its name, (Humilin) this insulin does not come from human beings! It is made in a factory using a chemical process called recombinant DNA technology. I have not ever been hospitalized or had any health related problems due to diabetes.
