I just got here this morning and had to go back and find it. Wow. I realize I'm being redundant to everyone else who posted, but seriously - that couldn't be further from the truth. What an @ss.
I too can usually appreciate her and if this was true, I'd just keep my mouth shut. But, I now see she's just a miserable cow. Who just says stupid sh*t like that just to hear themselves talk?
Cookie, I hope you know that she's a moron and there is not one bit of truth to what she said. If anything, I think you are just amazing and would hope to handle it all the way you have.
I could be wrong, but I really dont' think I've ever found her funny or even snickered at any of her snark. She's just deliberately nasty hiding behind a computer screen - real person or AE makes no difference - stupid is stupid.
Ditto! I can't remember who said it in the other post, but she made an excellent point. You talk about his DS becaue it's part of him, but it's not the only part of him and it's not all you talk about. Um, hello, Miles in a tutu had nothing to do with his DS and was ADORABLE!
I'm not going to speak for Cooker but I know that if I were in her shoes, I would be filled with self-doubt every day. And one of the things I would doubt about myself is if I was doing right by my child -- am I defining him by his DS. I'm sure that is such a hard balance to strike. And to have some asshat on a message board TRY to make her feel that she isn't balancing that well ---- so very sad!!!

Seriously, this makes me want to cry!
The thing is, I KNOW I'm doing a good job at balancing that, which is why it shocked/pissed me off/hurt my feelings to see someone question that on here, even if it was Gibs. I'm over it now though.

Cooker you are amazing. You've been so graceful at balancing all you're going through right now. I wanted to throw something at Gibs when I saw that comment last night.
I swear she's still just bitter no one would give her extra gymbucks. Ever since that day she busts out her worthless trash talking. [worthless b/c it's never funny and is rarely relevant or even remotely true].

Re: For the record, Gibs is a moron
I do enjoy her snark from time to time but that comment to Cooker crossed the line.

Yeah I was pretty shocked myself when I found that this morning. I appreciate all the support from everyone on here.

Gibs is a miserable sack of crap.
