Yet another blog to add to the billion others. Friday, January 4, 2013. State Budget Hearing - 1.4.13 - Medicaid Waiver. Here's the speech I gave:.

Ivy's Two Cents: June 2013

http://ivys2cents.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Yet another blog to add to the billion others. Tuesday, June 4, 2013. To explain or not to explain: That is the question. When talking to the public don't explain your disability at great length and then turn around and ask them to treat you like everybody else. It's a very contradicting message and I would love to see people with disabilities (and parents) stop using this way of introducing themselves. Do you hear people say, "Hello. My name is Bob. I have high blood pressure."? No, you don't. Leave...

Yet another blog to add to the billion others. Sunday, March 16, 2014. Rustin Cohle Quotes - HBO True Detective. Hats off to HBO, fine job! The one-liners (or a few) in this show were fantastic. Not to say I subscribe to what was flying out of Rust’s mouth, but maybe I do in some strange way. It intrigued me enough to blog about it. By the third episode I knew I wanted to make a list of my favorite Rust quotes, here they are:. 8220;At least I’m not racing to a red light.”. If the only thing keeping a per...
