You stutter?

Affirmative.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

You have a future, see Biden

[tmthforu94]

Affirmative.

I used to have a terrible stuttering problem. Currently, I've been in speech classes for over 8 years, and it has definately gotten better, but it comes back again when I get excited.

I took the intensive one-month treatment last summer, and came back to this year's session at first to get more practice, but later on to hang out with this year's people. The people in the course last year were mostly socially awkward, boring as hell or plain weirdos.

FTR, their treatment techniques are excellent and they work (as long as you use them, o/c).

Yeah, my treatment wasn't as intensive. I was pulled out of class twice a week for 30 minutes. It was a great break from school.
The worst part it is, there are times when you have something really important to say, and it's just so frustrating when people can't understand you, and say "what' over and over again.

LOL. Hamilton, you're so out of touch it's not even funny.

Do you realize that for every one family in this country that makes more than yours, there are ten thousand that make less?

Or, to phrase it differently, out of this entire country, the number of people that are worse off than you would be the number of people that live in this country outside of the city of Chicago.

That doesn't make me out of touch. That is a significant decline in family income from previous years, marking my use of only. I have advocated for the less fortunate many times in Atlasia and across the forum. I work two jobs and go to college. I don't get everything handed to me platinum coated and golden you know.

No one's implying you don't work hard, Hamilton. At least I'm not. But just please REMEMBER when you consider what is for the best for our country and society as a whole, your family is beyond the top of the top of the top in terms of wealth, and what benefits families like yours probably won't do much for the vast overwhelming majority of Americans. Nor am I saying that your family hasn't worked hard for what it's achieved and accumulated. Just never forget that regardless of how much your family has toiled and scrimped to reach where it is, never allow yourself to be convinced for a minute that the society our country provides hasn't provided--directly and indirectly--many of the opportunities that allowed your family to succeed.

Just think about it before you think about making "only" $500k last year, or more importantly when you vote on matters. OK?

Yeah, that sucks.

My friend told me that he got onto a bus here in Ottawa (OCTranspo) and asked the driver "Do you go to Blair?", but he blocked and couldn't get it out (he did in the end); and  the asshole driver told him to get off the bus and drove away.

I don't say this often, but I hope that piece of sh**t dies in his stupid bus.

The guy should carry a pen and paper around is my suggestion.  When you have a disability, you need to plan ahead.

Which reminds me of an anecdote. When I was young, I had a lisp with my s sound. In junior high, I was put in a speech therapy class with two retarded guys, which was an interesting and valuable experience for me actually in and of itself. I learned for the first time, that it is not appropriate to compete in a relentless manner with everyone one met, among other things, and it was actually more pleasurable sometimes to just help other folks out as best one could.

Anyway, I was fortunate, very fortunate, in that after about 3 sessions, the speech therapist suggested I make the s sound with my tongue at the bottom of my mouth, rather than the top, and the lisp went away instantly, and that was my last "class."  I have formed the s sound with my tongue on the bottom of my mouth ever since. If only everyone's disabilities good go away so easily!

I had a problem with r and w. Still pops up from time to time, but when I was younger I basically just had to repeat 'red rats running around in circles' 50 times every night.
