So much has happened, yesterday, tomorrow… IEP, Respite and more

So much has happened since my last post. Received a call regarding respite care for our youngest son David.  Every weekend, he gets to spend Saturday and Sunday with a host family.  this will give him a break from us, and us a break from him. Received a call from the facilitator for our facilitated IEP.  Meeting tentatively set for Feb 29th, 2012.  Keep our fingers crossed. Contacted Legal Assistance of North Dakota regarding assistance with my appeal for disability.  Sounds very promising. Scheduled appointment with my PCP (Primary Care Physician) to get checked out regarding the numbness I feel in my face.

a friend request and feedback to facebook.

I tried to “friend” someone I knew in high school and got referred to a feedback form that told me I was banned from sending friend requests for seven days because I was sending friend requests to people I didn’t know.  I wrote this in the feedback form.  At the bottom of the page before the submit button it says: “Sorry, we don’t respond to feedback, but we do read each one.” I have a lot of friends on facebook that I didn’t know before I had facebook.  This is a social networking tool.  why not use it as such?  I don’t send out an exorbitant amount of friend requests.  I don’t friend people I haven’t at least chatted with in a group setting of some kind. Why have a feedback form if you aren’t going to respond to the feedback? This is a follow up to an early entry
