Minnesota Memories

My own version of Deep thoughts by Jack Handy....

I remember the last time I went fishing with my step father as a young boy. Waking up at four in the morning, loading up the boat with a case of Schmitt beer for the man my mom called her husband, and a canteen of Kool-aid for myself. Sitting on horseshoe lake in northern Minnesota for 12 hours, as my step-father finished off his case of beer so we could then head back to shore and set up camp for the night.

Step- dad would toss me the fish to be cleaned, while he headed off to the local store to pick up another case of beer and leave me there all all alone.

The next morning, when the park ranger arrived on the scene to investigate just how my step father had been eaten by a bear, he just scratched his head and asked me....."Just how did those fish guts end up in his sleeping bag?"

The Curmudgen Grudge

While I realize there is a recruiting thread the clan forums for our little place in the 2old2play.com universe, I feel the need to thank Bear96 for creating this nice little environment for those of us who can't commit to game play all the time.

Bear started this clan back in July of 2006 at back then we got a few takers but not much had been going on. At that time I had created GSN for the sport gamer....it became to much for me to soon. It was then that I realized that I didn't have what it took to be involved in a commited clan of any kind....not becuase of members, but because of family and other real life issues that creep into all of our lives from time to time.

Over the past few weeks, The Grudge has seen a nice little growth within it's membership. More and more parents and grandparents are finding us and with any luck, more will fill the ranks soon.

Thanks you Bear for having a great idea for a clan and not giving up on it when things went slow.

The boys diagnostic assessment...

Some of you who've read my previous entries regarding my youngest boy are well aware of some of the issues we've had here in the home when dealing with his Aspergers Disorder.

I've recently recieved his official assessment and let me tell you...I'm confussed more now than ever before.

Diagnostic Assessment

Axis I

299.80 Asperger's Disorder.

314.01 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,Combined Type

307.21 Transient Tics Disorder, Recurrent

Axis IV

Stressors are social situations

Axis V

Current GAF is 55

Is there a Dr in the house? Damn, if I had to go over everything that is listed in this assessment I'ld be here forever...thank god we go back to the Dr on Tuesday.

I love my boy very much...he's really a good kid. I guess the hardest thing for a parent is to look at a child and wonder what we could have done to spot things earlier in life.For now the hardest thing for me to do is to acknowlege the fact that it's looking more and more as if I need to file for disabilty for the boy.

Me think it's finally time to join up with other parents of Asperger children. I want to thank my wife, who is not the mother of my kids, for all of her support,love and understanding, when it comes to my kids..I love ya Deb...you've helped me get thru this more than you'll ever know. I thought that after raising my boys alone for 13 years, I'ld never be able to find anyone willing to stand by my side...and you've been there with me from the day we met.
