My first employer as a nurse was with a Ohio facility for the - as they referred to back in the 80's-90's - MR/DD. Over 400 residents lived there! They kept you alert, but that was my favorite job as a nurse. We would take them to the Ohio Special Olympics every year. It was fantastic to see their expressions when they competed. Priceless. I am currently doing home health nursing care and one of my clients is a young man of 22 who is profound. I don't know why, but it just "something" I felt when working with special needs clients.
People have to remember 3% of us are not normal and did nothing to be that way. They cannot hide behind a mike and pretend to be " RETARDED " it for them is a life long trap that they have no exit from. Unlike the radio poop-heads.
I got to the point where I just didn't have the #### thing on, unless I needed it at a stop for some reason. Life is just too short for me to spend it listening to garbage.
Brsims ...... Someone sent me a really bad joke years ago ..... Seems they built a computer with a IQ of 1,000 turn it on and got words so big and math so hard that they had no clue what it was saying .... They turn it down to a IQ of 100 and it talked about football ... SO they turn it down to a IQ of 10 ........... It was thinking ...... and thinking ..... and thinking THEN ...... 10-4 good buddy ....
