Thank you for posting that information - my son had that problem and it started in 1st grade and he wasn't properly diagnosed until he was 8 years old. It was the worst 3 years of his life. We went to doctor after doctor until he was finally helped. It took minor surgery and the problem has resolved itself and he is now 16. His condition was actually diagnosed as Spina Bifida Occulta and is totally preventable by taking folic acid if you are a woman of child bearing age. The condition can occur prior to a woman even knowing she is pregnant.
We met those gentleman at a NASCAR race in Sonoma this past June. It was so neat to be at an event with thousands of people and run into someone from home. They told us about their vintage firetrucks and we told them about our cars. Hubby invited the guys over and we parted ways. It was a brief exchange but we thought it was such a neat coincidence that we always remembered them. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of these fine men and to the firefighter brothers as well.
You guys are so dense that you can't figure out that "ObamaRules" is fraud? Please he's no more liberal then Robert Novak; he's just a troll looking for kicks.
Unlike the US, yes Australia does have a great health care system. They also have compassion which sometimes seems to be lacking in other parts of the world.
Given the recent verdict, it sounds like the parents should be claiming that they were practicing their religious beliefs and there was nothing wrong with the children.
My daughter works for Goodwill as a cashier. All the employees at her store work there full time with benefits which is far and above what most retail stores provide for their employees. So yes Goodwill might not be the cheapest but they provide a valuable service to disabled people as well as good jobs with benefits for their other employees.
Heavy snow here in Battle Ground and its been snowing since about 4:30. We've already had 3 accidents on our corner just north of town!
