My Gather is so slow tonight.

I'm excited to have gotten one of my articles posted.  It's about autism and Mardi Gras.  I hope the link works... :)

Well I supposed I don't understand how to post 'working' links. Please cut and paste it. (Well and anyone who knows how, could you tell me again?)
Larry H. Jan 20, 2013, 8:30pm UTC
glad you got it posted.

Congratulations on having your article posted. I've been Mardi Gras several times and it never occurred to me how it would impact a child with autism.

Good article Mylinda. Great advice for those in the area or a family visiting.
William M. Jan 20, 2013, 8:47pm UTC
I should be getting to it in my emails soon.

I am glad you got your needed article posted. I very much agree with Nancy.
Tim T. Jan 20, 2013, 9:12pm UTC
WOW...great piece Mylinda. Perhaps you should consider sending this to the various newspapers in the areas of the country that celebrate.

I have to go look...

Nice to get something to post.

Congrats, glad you were published.

I had no idea. It was great to visit your post. I love how sensitive you are to your autistic child, yet still working with the other children.

When you mentioned you were working on articles for Mardi Gras and autism, I just assumed two different articles. I had never considered the two together.
One of the things that frequently annoys me is when people don't plan for taking their children places where they will have nothing to do. You went above and beyond in the article. It's good advice for any parent when facing crowds. Toddlers can easily get overwhelmed with the length of a long parade and food choices are important.

some days it's slow and some days it's not I guess we get what we get
Mylinda Elliott Jan 21, 2013, 4:41pm UTC
Yes, I should learn to be happy with what I can get. :)
Terry M. Jan 21, 2013, 8:49pm UTC
I have the same problems at times.
Rachel D. Jan 22, 2013, 11:22am UTC
Congrats on your Yahoo posting!

I can not see it.

Great that you were able to get it posted!!

Sometimes this site can really be slow. I've got to check out your article now.
Ms Lee P. Feb 5, 2013, 2:04pm UTC
I just read your article and it's great. You are a very special lady.
