how on earth did you manage to get on Ray's ignore list (how do you know anyhow, but that's a different question!) he's a big sweetie pie. but you're right he does deserve karma but I have to spread it around.

He keeps me updated on when he takes me off and then puts me back on. I did well this month, I stayed off the list till the 13th! :D

I think that ray and many others find me a trifle annoying and/or irritating - take your pick or both if you prefer! ;)

Joyce said dad wept tears of joy ..because so few adults ever spoke to his son ... Because the son was a Down Syndrome child...

Amazing what you can do with a few words ...

Ah you really are a lovely man...I was told when I had my daughter that she might have Downs...so we had all the tests and thankfully after about a 3 week wait, we were given the ok. I now think the parents of those little kids are just great - me myself, I was scared stiff and am not afraid to admit it. Its hard work, but at the end of they day - they are your children and you do what you can to give them a good life. :)

What bull, one little act of kindness doesn't make up for all the alarm and despondency he spreads through here, and yet the women are weeping. I think I'll go and read some O'Henry short stories.
Must find some sweetly playing violins to go with them though. :D
