God Bless the Stallings and Thank You "Johnny" for being a Bama Fan! ROLL TIDE!

Well that always is a shame. I like Stallings a lot,too.I'm sure he and his wife were great to him.

Sad story. I also liked Stallings. RIP Johnny...

they treated him like a normal person. while the Stallings were in Tuscaloosa, "Johnny" had a job. everyday after work John Mark would come to practice and work with the equipment managers. the football equipment room at Alabama as of 2 years ago has John Mark's name on it.

Good...I think for anybody,parent or not, the thing to do is treat all people with disabilites as if they had none---to the extent that you can....and in an honest way.


I know I'm full of ca-ca....but I live near someone with Downs and talk to him a lot. One day he was talking about someone else who was bothering him and he broke in with.." you know ,I realize have Down Syndrome ,but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

I hope I didn't show my shock...don't think so. For some idiotic reason I was really floored by watching him tell me he knows what he has and did it in a very clear way...he understood what he has.

I was the one that felt completely stupid.

good man morty for spending time with him.

Too kind....but it's the very least any of us could do. You are ,again, too kind---but I didn't type it for me. I had forgot about this passage of time and thought it sort of important to throw out.

Honest...I was that dumb. I do not even give one thought to someone like him realizing what they had. I can't tell you how dumbfounded I was when he said that.





Fucl<...he probably did notice it. I'll bet his thought was.." Normal people------what are ya gonna do??"

your new #1











(intelligent post)

Well it does beat thud and blech.

thud


blech

trashcan



:rolleyes:

Don't forget my brilliant use of the too forgotten gerund.

I knew deep down I liked you for a reason.

I could not begin to fathom what it would be like being a parent of a child with D.S. People like John Mark are just up against it every day, from day one of their life. The Stalling's are an incredible family and I'm sure John Mark is enjoying life in heaven as we speak.

RIP

very sorry to hear that the stallings lost their son. parents are never supposed to bury their child.

glad i'm not the only one. feels as tho soccer is being shoved down our throats-thanx espn!
i'm ready for football. HOF game tomorrow, not that it really means anything. but at least i get to watch my 'skins, a rarity.

anyone watch the HOF inductions? i did since two of my favorite players got in, darrell green and art monk. ah, those were the days....

we watched but it was tough. i felt like i was in church.:rolleyes:

yeah, it got a bit preachy a few times.


but we at home have decided jesus is a baseball fan, not a football fan. all that saving going on and all!! :D

I envy anyone that can watch a preseason NFL game for more than 15 minutes.

i can make it until halftime at best but ALMOST any football game is better than a baseball game.:D

FTFY

Go Auburn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thebby! obb is swearing! :p

I'll cut you some slack since they dont have any major league teams in your area...

Most of them have bets on it though, right? It's pretty hard to watch if you don't have a bet on it.

I am trying to stay interested in this HoF game and I am a DIEHARD Colts guy. I did enjoy the first drive.

I work with some folks with different problems like Down Syndrome. Some of the best employees this company will ever have, any company. Never miss work, never complain. They do the job and go home. It could be the dead of winter below zero wind chill or 95 degrees with 100 percent humidity. Joe, who has DS, is a man in his late 40's who takes care of our grocery carts as well as trash. All he wants is to be treated the same as everyone else.

Don't stare, don't go out of your way if not needed. Treat them as your equal and see how your bond may grow.

we're about 80 miles from the O's and the Nats and 3hrs from pittsburgh. i'm a Bucs fan so we're out of it on opening day.
there is an A-team here, the Suns. i think they play against the Lexington team?

i've never bet a football game.:o

Like I said there are no major league teams in your area...

ouch...

Hey your state isnt much better...

Neither have I. Its illegal here.
But I have made wagers straight away
with the fanatics of certain teams.

It is great being in a place that has so many
ATM fans that are acquaintances. Cowboys also.
But ya gotta be careful with them boys.
Their fans have become wary.

When the Spurs go 5 rings in 10 years...

WALMART CORRIDOR....

Charcoal air...

Duncan cant hit the curveball

Tomorrow everybody in Maryland/Northern Va and DC will be getting some because the 'skins won handily tonight. Hall of Fame or Super Bowl they don't care. That damn song will be giving headaches in a bipartisan way for the next week.
