They took my money without even the courtesy of a reply. Pretty much the way you’d expect, since they require you to submit payment for the fine even if you’re contesting it.

]]> Comment on A Growing Problem by MEGR-mi http://www.toastyfrog.net/2008/08/06/a-growing-problem/#comment-197 MEGR-mi Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:33:15 +0000 http://www.toastyfrog.net/?p=185#comment-197 In the US, I heard a stat that 40% of the US is overweight. And Michigan is the fattest state of them all. I think if you looked at the issue closely, the obese kids, far and above, have parents that don't get involved in...parenting. They buy toys for their kids so the kids will "stay busy" and don't actively parent. While if you look at active parents (mainly middle-class and higher), their kids are not likely at all to be overweight. I will be having Thanksgiving dinner at my parents in less than 24 hrs and am frustrated because I will be served only fatty foods, and wine. With the diet I am on, I strive to eat only foods with 3g of fat or less per serving, every food at my dad's place will have at least 400% that. None of it is deep fried, or even fried, so you can see the confusion that people think only fried foods are fatty. They are not. In the US, I heard a stat that 40% of the US is overweight.

My children, who are not ADHD, but carry their own neurobiological 'disorders' of OCD and Tourette's Syndrome ... both say that "I am normal in my Abnormalities!" My oldest, in learning about his 'disorders' (he refuses to recognise them as a disorder, but rather, a difference) he realized that for a child with this particular genetic 'disorder' ...this DIFFERENCE ...this genetic mind make up .. he is a perfectly normal child. His brain makes the brain signals it is SUPPOSED to make for a child with tourette's and OCD. He is not abnormal ... he is not different ... he is normal in his abnormality ... HE IS normal in his abnormailities ... He has no problems with it ...and if people have trouble with him ... then THEY are the ones who have significant problems. I LOVE my child's take on life.
