I Hate This Cartoon....

 I really hate this cartoon.....http://www.caglecartoons.com/viewimage.asp?ID={41A990C5-7FCF-407D-8A87-DBDDDE9404EA}
I saw it in the week today.

First of all let me say I believe in free speech and they should be able to publish whatever they want... Second I do not know if I really understand part of the cartoon, I mean is the little fellow with the helmet supposed to be a certain person??
If he is not anyone in particular what does he stand for? The citizens of the U.S.A , or is he just some poor dude who has to wear a helmet??

Any way...since I wear a helmet and often find myself holding a someones hand to help me walk I sort of find it saying I look stupid.
Well I have been called stupid ...and worse, but yeah I guess I look stupid, or different anyway .
I am not stupid though!!!

Since this is The Girl With The Helmet's Blog...I thought It would be appropriate to comment. 

So yes I hate this cartoon.....To be completely honest I don't normally pay any attention to political cartoons but this one caught my eye.

A Book I Wrote

 There is a girl who wears a helmet, Maybe you have seen her?

 Maybe you stared at her because you were curious?  You probably want to know why she has that helmet on................

 ........I will tell you some things about her. She has a seizure disorder. Sometimes she will fall down and get hurt.

 Sometimes she might stare and not be able to talk.

 Sometimes she might just be doing something odd, like smacking her lips or picking at her clothes.

 Maybe you saw her have a seizure? Maybe it frightened you? It is o.k. to be a bit frightened, but please don't run away from her...........

 .......She still needs friends!! She likes it when you talk to her, she likes it when you smile. If she does not smile back .....she is probably having a bad day and is really really REALLY tired.

 How do I know these things? I am a girl that wears a helmet!
 If you see a girl or a boy having a seizure, do not  hold them down or try to force them to stop. Do not put things in their mouth. If they fall someplace dangerous or are standing someplace dangerous ( like a road) tell a grown up (if you are a kid).

You should tell a grown up anyway , even if it didn't happen in a dangerous place.

Be A Friend!

Cool idea but I don't think it will be as good as a helmet.

Party In The I.v. Room and Other Happenings

 Today I had to see the doctor. I guess I'll be trying Lamictal .
After that I had i.v. , my friend the lady with the red bag was there and someone new............Mike.
 Mike saw my leg brace and he used to have one too, he had to have it for years but he doesn't need it now. That made me happy, he doesn't need it now...and sad, he had it for years.
Mike doesn't have a gallbladder either.
Mike eats similar foods as me.
He was very nice and told me a joke.
He wore my helmet some, and asked if it suited him ...I said maybe if it had a different colored flower on it. He said if it had cauliflower on it!!! I said I thought broccoli would suit him best , " Good, that's my favorite, said he".
We laughed and laughed.
One of the nurses said it sounded like a party in there . ( That's  because we made it one)

Mike doesn't have seizures.. he has cancer.


Afterwards Mommy took me to the store so I could get some new shoes, I needed some for fall and since I have to get 2 different sizes I thought I had better get them early before sizes sell out. Well we found one that fit the brace and one that fit the other foot but they were not the same style, I was disappointed.
Then later a person that worked there asked me if I found what I needed and I told her my tale of shoes and she and another lady found me what I needed!!
Hooray for Wal-Mart !!! When you need to buy two sizes without going broke it works.
Kids sizes always seem to have less selection , and when your in your 20s it can be rather frustrating.

Sunday I made it to church and had lunch with Grandpa!!
Afterwards rubber band man came!! He used to be a postman and he goes around shooting people with rubber bands and giving them rubber bands so they can spread the love. The first time I met him I was afraid of him because he shot rubber bands at me through the open can window when I was ten and I was setting in there waiting for my Dad  and rubber band man said to let him in!!!!! No way was I letting a strange rubber band shooting fellow into the car when my dad was in the store. It turned out he knew my dad. 

Last summer we became friends again at my cousins wedding.

Saturday my dad took me to a concert and Grandpa came.
I really enjoyed it , I had lots of seizures and that was not so good.
A man came up to my dad and told him that he really should give me some cannabis, that he didn't smoke it when he was a kid and that he really missed out and he had a friend that has seizures and it helped him. ( slightly surprising since it wasn't that kind of concert, or place ...I mean I think the place was even a tobacco free school zone!!)

Anyway I wish it was legal for everyone...............I wish.

A Helmet Can Be an Fashion Accessory

Haha, But for real it has got to work!!

Hello world, What I want to know is when you look at me with my helmet , walker or wheelchair, what are you thinking when you stare at me? If your curious I don't mind. I probably would be too!!! You can ask me questions, if they are too personal I'll let you know.

 If people staring bothers you smile away...and everything will be alright because very few people will not smile back and if they don't they are not worth worrying about, you could pray for them. Maybe they had a bad day.
