Community recruitment

My friend Chloe posted the following and I'm passing it on if anyone out there is interested or knows someone who is:

I am back on the sped_mama community bandwagon and trying to drum up some new members -- moms, dads or caretakers of kids with disabilities, age 0-21, who receive services from their school district, county, feds, etc. If you think you might have lj friends who would be interested please post something in your journal or otherwise pass it on. Thanks!

I figure I might as well use this LJ friendslist for something not self-indulgent.

I hear drunk people

Waiting for friends to arrive at the bar last night I got to overhear drunk drama. One guy was yelling at his friend, "I know what you’re doing! You’re stealing my friends. You’re always stealing my friends. You’re not my friend."

His friend, not nearly as drunk, replied in a voice soft enough that I couldn’t understand individual words. He was trying to soothe his friend but it wasn’t working. A woman was also with them and caught my eye and knew I heard the drunk’s outburst . She gave me one of those what-are-ya-gonna-do looks that come with a shrug.

Drunkie saw this, looked over at me, and stormed out.

My friends arrived but I guess the bar was emptier than usual because I kept being distracted by alarming statements coming from the tables around me.

"I have body issues! All women have body issues!

"I’ll beat up your father for you if you want me to."

"Is that a rat under that table over there?"

I decided against hanging out for a second pitcher.
