Certainly you and Isabella caring like this strengthens a person's heart. Thanks a lot and as always you are in my prayers for utmost blessings and protection from harm. Others here too but just letting you know how much I love you and IsabellaLinton.

No but she may as well be. She negotiated better than my actual old L bringing conflict to a halt, and even used her skills to get those scammers to give me the file 1 year later, after they repeatedly lied. Amazing at writing and logic. She is an occupational therapist for people in rehab.

Jeddah is not supposed to be like the rest of Saudi Arabia.

I heard that it has been a progressive and liberal place since the Middle Ages. Because it's on the coast, and the people there have contact with many different ethnic groups through trade and migration.

A need to begin my next class assignment that is due next Thursday.

I don't want to go back to the hospital, but I'm worried that might be happening soon.

Thanks for the info, Blooie.

Probably one reason why what you said isn't well-known is because Makkah is off-limits to non-Muslims.

I've known plenty of people of the Islamic faith who are not fanatical, and who get along with people of other faiths.

My sons therapist is currently teaching Torah to an autistic client at his family'srequest. It's interesting bcuz she is learning along the way as she designs his programs and learning tools.
She said the child has to learn different prayers for eating, for example, depending where the item came from (eg wheat, water, ground like a root vegetable, tree)... She said she tried to teach him the bread one but he refused as he was tired of learnibg so she gave him leeway and said the general eating prayer is fine since he is so little.

Its funny because she is Muslim for over a decade maybe 2 decades now... And she said their stuff is harder since God made them the chosen people so maybe standards are higher.
But I got mad because Muslims have it easier and are lazy in everything and just shop.

I told her that. Because this family is going out of their way paying Bridgette for that extra program on top of the childs normal therapy. Even though he is special needs they don't want him to miss out.


And when she was teaching how to do autism teaching n therapy in one country(i think Kuwait) she said the therapists would just make the nonverbal ASD kids lie down on ground n turned off the lights.

if the child got up they would spray him with a water pistol so kids would be trained to just lie down the majority of the time
And either slept or lay there awake till their parents came to pick up.

N the therapists were getting paid very generously but the parents had no idea this was what was actually taking place.

Bridgette had to train n teach them to do the proper way and they gave her a tough time since their way was easy money.
But the kids were never benefiting. I imagine they prob got worse from the frustration.


So my point is one culture is so deeply involved and humanizes ASD so the kid is held to similar standards and at least att1wmpts are made to engage child in learning

While the other mistreating them and parents didnt even bother questioning what the kids are learning or anything that would tip them off as to what a horrible scam it was.

My dog is tired of his dry food but he has a lot of allergies. I'm seeking a new adult kibble with no wheat, corn, soy, flaxseed, beef, duck, kangaroo, lamb, dairy, or pinto beans.

He's allowed chicken, turkey, rabbit, pork, egg, and rice. He's also allowed fish but he's tired of it.

I wish there was a website where you could just click the ingredients you want / don't want, and it would show you the right food.

Yes he gets a lot of home cooked chicken etc., but I still like to give him a kibble.

When I mess up socially should I address it so people know I'm sorry or ignore it so that people don't notice? I honestly don't know.

This whole month is just... Crappy.

You know what? If I have my energy levels right, I'm gonna decide that I won't be giving it away.
I should stop compulsively give out and help others when it is so. I realize this, the unconscious and a light facet side of myself that my ego credits herself for.

I'm just gonna use this energy into helping myself transition to a healthier habits in long terms, than compulsively help someone in some situation in short terms.
People can take the damn care of themselves. I have to take care of myself. I have to learn the self-care of energy accounting if you guys know what I mean.
