Here is a riddle yet to be solved. Will Karin be a published author? Oh, hang on …. wait; the oracle of my youth the ever popular Magic Eight Ball. The Magic Eight Ball says; (I am shakin’ her as hard as I can while you read this), she says “the answer is unclear” ! LOL! Thanx Mugsy! I might have found my voice. Yes, it is a bit scratchy and un-refined, never the less it is mine and I like it! HHHMMMMMM, this www.wowOwow.com; what the frick empowering women. WHAT? Are you crazy or something?! GOOD FOR YOU! and good for country girls like me!

I too started my career in broadcasting in the south. My first job was at WKMT in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

They say children that have autism have parents that suffer from some sort of mental illness. I say that is a bunch of hooey! Anyways, I will talk you to guys later I have to give my 68 cats a bath. LOL! http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_64207.html http://autism.about.com/b/2008/05/05/autism-and-mental-illness-whats-the… http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=study-links-childs-autism

Keep On With The Keepin’ On! This is dedicated to Hillary Clinton! I refuse to give up; nor will my pick for the next President of the United States of America. GO HILLARY! I have kept my political views private until now. Hillary is clearly the candidate with the most experience in the political arena. She was the great woman standing behind Bill during our days of prosperity. Senator Clinton had the courage and strength to keep her family together during the scandal. Hillary Clinton has lead by example and has raised a beautiful free thinking daughter who contributes to our society in a proactive and dignified manner. I admire Mrs. Clinton’s tenacity and sheer will. Hillary Clinton has exhibited diplomacy and she has on her own made REAL LIFE CHANGE in our country. I will fight for Hillary and sing her praises through to the livin’ end of my days! I am not a woman of great means nor do I have much education but I am smart enough to know that Hillary would make an excellent Madame President. Hillary Clinton is the sensible choice and has proven herself to be a warrior and a champion of the people. It is my hope that our party will unify and that “The Dream Team Ticket” will be one of the most powerful entities on this planet. Thank you for reading my post and I encourage each and every one of you to express your opinion and thoughts.

Mitchell and I went to everythingunderthesun-Mart yesterday and we did not get stares because of my *autistic sons’ meltdown! We were noticed for our savvy SJP hat style. Mitchell wore the ever popular and never out of style policeman hat with a pair of ladybug wings on his back and I wore a little straw hat with a band of bold pinks and blue stripes. WELL, I had to pick something fun; Mitchell already had on the ladybug wings! FUN and SASSY! That is me and my shadow! *Mitchell has meltdowns if he is over stimulated and busy stores just send him to the moon and the poor little guy can’t get back to earth for quite some time.

Thank you Ms. Mugsy! I thought you were poo pooing my favorite childhood riddle when you said “good lord”. I was all kinds of red with shame due to my childish post. Edith Ann is a grown up child in an over sized world. Edith Ann and I grew up together! Or did we ever grow up? I want to figure out how this site will help us real life gals. BIG HUG to you Ms. Mugsy!

Ms. Smith, Thank you for your insights on the show. If you read between the lines of this post that is where the real story can be found. I admire you and have admired you for years. I never ever imagined anything I would have to say might actually be heard by Liz Smith. Now that I have your attention what should I say, my mind is a blank; I am feeling flushed with embarrassment. I think I like the site it has power appeal. I had mentioned earlier on the Edith Ann post that I could not relate to all of the strong and successful women on the panel. All of the women are millionaires and I am a woman of very little means and education. Where do I fit in? And one last thing, do you think www.wowOwow.com would be interested in talking about autism? My son M has autism. I may not be college educated however I do speak and write from the heart on this subject. Should you/www.wowOwow.com be interested in hearing our stories on autism then please feel free to have one of the assistants email me at kFeinNicholson@yahoo.com. I know your time is valuable and I appreciate you reading this little post. I wish you great success with this new venture.

Here is a riddle only wow staffers have the answer to. Where are the articles on autism to be found on www.wowOwow.com? I like the site. The problem is I am not a woman of means nor do I have much education. I feel a little intimidated by all the super smart, super strong and super good looking women on the panel.

Mugsy, A newspaper!

Q) Why do you use 239 beans in bean salad? A) Because one more bean would be too farty! I want to buy this book of riddles for my little boy with autism. I do a very good impression of Edith Ann! Off topic sorry! Out of all the millionaires on the wow website I have to say you are the only one of them that I can relate to. I will be sure to read all of YOUR posts!

HELP! Let Me Out! Mitchell has autism and is nine years old. When Mitchell was diagnosed I left this happy, bright world and went into the dark world of autism. It was the only thing I could do to keep him near me. I did not want autism to take my child. What ended up happening is autism took me instead. Mitchell is high functioning and is quite the little genius. While I on the other hand am locked inside the autism cage. Mitchell and I are most certainly attached at the hip. We do everything together. If we can’t do it together then we don’t do it! Sounds sweet doesn’t it? Well, let me tell you it is not so sweet. I am obsessed with him. I follow him around for no reason at all. I say I am doing it to protect him, protect him from what? I *sit with him when he eats so that I know he ate and is getting the food inside his tummy and not inside the doggies tummy. I sit with him in the bathroom while he takes his bath so that he does not drown. I sit with him when he is watching TV so that I know what he is watching is acceptable programming. I sit outside with him when he is riding his bike so that should he fall I will be there to pick him up. I sit on the end of his bed until he falls asleep so that I know he is resting and not dead. I sit with him when he is playing quietly so that I can protect him from some evil action figure that might come to life and poke his eye out! I am always so worried for him. What will happen if I just let him be? OH, NO can’t think about that; too many things could go wrong! RIGHT? He has had a babysitter one time in his life and I have never let him stay overnight with Grandma. Deep down in my heart I know I have to let him go. Usually I brush that thought away and justify my hovering with some lame excuse. Here is the hard ugly truth I do the obsessing to justify my existence! Can anyone else relate? Is it just me? Can anyone tell me how to get over separation anxiety? If you find the key would you please come and let me out of this cage? I refuse to take mothers little helpers. I would like some sound advice that does not involve drugs. I need to stay alert and functioning. * I always have my notebook and am usually writing/blogging never the less here I sit with him!
