Thank you, Lovely Lisa, for letting your light shine so that we may all be inspired to give back. You're exactly right: Do we really need another tie or sweater?

Grameen America looks like an amazing charity. It warms my heart to read about this charity which is doing so much good in the world.

Thank you again for being a part of #12DaysOfGiving!

I'm sooo hoping I get to hear about your Bungee Jumping Adventure!! :-)

I'd really *like* to get a "12" tattoo on my @ss! That would be great! (I have a feeling my honey will veto it... so I'm recommending YOU get one next year!) :-P

Friends, fans and followers can share the holiday spirit to the families of the women and men who gave the ultimate sacrifice by supporting and donating to GYBN and same organizations. The least we can do as a THANK YOU!

I copied this from my Facebook Notes in response to your "What does autism mean?" paragraph. Thanks for what you're doing--you rock!

This is autism
by MVWJ on Friday, April 2, 2010 at 7:55pm

Not knowing what is wrong when your child screams and cries for hours, because she isn't able to tell you.

Never hugging or holding her because touch doesn't feel the same to her.

Never hearing her say "I love you," and knowing you probably never will.

Not knowing her favorite color, favorite place, or favorite smell because she can't tell you.

Taking her to the hospital for another painful, countless, pointless
test; and seeing another child, who is clearly very, very ill, and
feeling only envy. Yes, envy, because that child's suffering will end
soon, and your child will suffer a full lifespan.

Knowing she will never go to college, get married or have babies. Ever.

Knowing there is nothing you can do to help her, or console her, so
you simply cry with her--albeit on the other side of the door because
she doesn't want you in the room.

Knowing that when you are gone the burden of her care will pass to
her sister and wondering which child to worry about more--the one in the
institution or the one in the lobby fighting with the bureaucrats.

This is autism.

I wrote this a couple of years ago and I thought I would post it
today for Autism Awareness Day. As I read through it just now I realized
I'd forgotten some of the most important things about autism:

Wondering what she's thinking that's making her giggle.

Loving the way she wraps her arm in mine while we walk.

Acting surprised when she pushes me in the pool even though I've been waiting and waiting!

Basking in her childlike innocence and knowing she will never outgrow it.

Thanking God for her everyday, and not being able to imagine her any other way, and knowing that's okay.

This too is autism

Bonnie, thanks for stopping by. You should definitely meet Mark, he is such a great guy to hang out with and talk to. :)

The book was never published, though the story of what we did has been published in a book about social media and relationship building.

Did I miss the bieber do? #3 is a wee bit scary.... I still love you! This is wonderful and I'm so proud to call you my friend!

Re: About The Social Media Adventure

Bonnie Sayers — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:19:06 -0000

Neat story. I have been on twitter for over three years now - guess we never crossed paths in our tweets or twitter chats. I came to find your connection to autism for this fundraiser. I also read about Mark Horvath - and still waiting to meet him, but I am in Los Angeles not far from his home base, but he is never in town for long. Nice to meet you here and on twitter and empire avenue and your FB page.

Since comments indicate this is over two years old - is the book published now?

She seems absolutely adorable! I'm hoping this $500 gets raised too, for my sake, just as much as for the kids. :)

Re: The Ugliness Takes A Turn Toward Beautiful…

Aimee is a good friend of mine and she is absolutely adorable! I hope this extra $500 gets raised!!

Re: The Ugliness Takes A Turn Toward Beautiful…

Joseph Ranseth — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:58:01 -0000

The picture on Twitter is before I grew my hair out. It's still ugly, will be getting it cut soon. :)

I will definitely go out on a date with this Aimee woman, she is adorable and I love her commitment. We just need to raise the next $500.

Re: The Ugliness Takes A Turn Toward Beautiful…

Ginny Griffith — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:04:42 -0000

Is the pic on twitter the new haircut?? Looking good:) I'd totally encourage you to go out for a good time!!

Oh my, Brenda, this made me laugh. :)

There are a few pictures of the beard here: http://www.crowdrise.com/Jo...

How's that work? ;)

Grow the beard out and we can talk.

Re: Crowdsourcing Breakups – What to do with an unused engagement ring?

Jfahlman — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 22:00:14 -0000

I think you should keep the ring and use it to gay marry yourself, just to bring attention to a worthy cause. Then if you ever get sick of yourself, you could pawn it and use the proceeds to gay divorce yourself, and settle amicably by putting half your things on the left half of the room and the other half your things on the right hand side. Maybe this farce will make people realize what a joke it is to refuse to let gay people get married if they want to.
