C-PALSY archives -- February 2001 (#435)Amanda,

How do you think Jim would look and feel with a goatee or full beard?

Sure beats shaving!  Imagine what he could do with extra time!!!

We don't post too often, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to vent a
little too! LOL

For all the new people and those who don't remember us,
my husband, Jim has CP. He is a walker, but we use a chair for long
distances because he tires easy.

Jim looks a lot younger than he is. (He's 34, looks 15) WE absolutly
hate to
go to the store or anywhere around a holiday because we are bound to get
some 'good-willing' soul "cooing" at him about what he got for
Christmas,
was he a good boy all year.. Just the other day, a lady went on and on
about
the Valentines bear in our cart. When he finally got out the words that
it
was for me, you would have though he was two and just pooped in the
potty!
She just went on and on about how sweet that was in that "Talking to a
two
year old" kinda voice!

I swear we are waiting for them to tickle him under the chin one day!
LOL

Another one that bugs the heck out of  us is the ones who always call
him
their "little Buddy".. For pete sake! He's a 34yr. old man!

We can't wait to finally have children!  How people react then is gonna
be a
site to see! Haha!
