Lori Alexander 33: Counting Everyone's Calories

[Meeka]

Just because Lori didn't see children with autism does not mean that they never existed. I'm in my thirties so around her children's ages and children with autism were placed is separate units in certain schools in my area. My school did not have a special needs unit so I did not really see autism. There many have been some high functioning children with autism in my class but they are not as noticeable to a child. I'm sure that I saw them in the community but I did not notice them because I was just busy doing my own thing. Those student that were in a school that have a unit would have known about them.  In the past, mothers were blamed for creating autism and were called "cold mothers" and they were separated from the community. They did not go to school and did not go out much into society but were kept in the home and on the parents property or in some cases put in institutions. Lori is such a simple minded person. If I don't see it then in means that it doesn't exist.

You didn’t see autism 25yrs ago Lori?  

It's funny that she says that, because she in the past she has claimed that her son would have probably been diagnosed if she hadn't pulled him out of school.

Quote

One in fifty four boys are diagnosed with autism.  This is not good!  My son, Ryan, probably would have been diagnosed with ADD or autism if he had been tested.

Quote

I started homeschooling Ryan in seventh grade. I felt like sending him to junior high would be like sending him off a cliff into failure.  I had him read a lot and do math. That was it. 

So essentially, she realized the school was about to test him (in sixth grade), so she pulled him out in 7th.  

Lori just couldn't have one of her children diagnosed with autism or ADD.  They weren't vaccinated, so she couldn't have blamed vaccines.  She fed them good food, so no cat allergies, no autism.  In her childlike mind, autism has to be someone's fault, so the only solution was to avoid a diagnosis all together.

I've got news for Lori, autism is not diagnosed willy nilly as she seems to think.  And there is a huge difference between ADHD and autism.  It's not either/or, jackass.

[Sarah92]

And I wonder if after she pulled him out she consulted with a doctor. You know, just to make sure she was doing the best thing for her child. If you suspect that your child might be diagnosed with something you get it checked out! You don't just take him out of school and make him do reading and math.  You're not an expert in anything! Do you think it cured him? Okay yes, ADD has been at times an overused diagnoses in my opinion but that does not mean you just ignore something. He does have to go out into the real world.

Also because of Lori's  privileged life growing up it might have reduced her chances or meeting someone with autism. If she's surrounded by like people then chances are the parents would have the money to ship a child off for special schooling. Also if autism has any connected with poverty, I don't actually know this, then that might have reduced her chances as well. 

I also feel sorry for the guy she gets her oil painting thumbnails from. He's a phenomenal oil painting artist. I just wonder if he knows or appreciate what she's saying and connecting his art work to.

From today's post:

It’s easy for us to talk just to talk and to say things without thinking. We need to learn that it’s OKAY to be quiet. 

Lori should look at it this way- The less she writes, the fewer lies she gets caught in.  It's her desire "to write just to write and to write things without thinking", that leads to people taking screen shots of her contradicting herself.  

Quote

 This means we enjoy being silent and not having to be the center of attention or just talking about nothing important. 

A good way to accomplish such a mission, is to blog every.single.day, open 3 Facebook pages, make Youtube videos, get an Instagram and Twitter, and share all of your posts to Pinterest.  Then, if you really want to go all out, you can pay Facebook to get ever more attention.  It's the frugal way.  

Finally, don't forget to remind your readers that you went VIRAL!  This should be done at least a couple of times a week.  After all, you don't want to be the center of attention or anything!

Quote

If we do talk, we need to learn to carefully measure our words and if we feel like we want to say something mean or critical, we shut it down very quickly and say nothing instead. 

Side note- Questioning someone's salvation if they disagree with you, does not count as being mean or critical.

Quote

 We use no swear words. We don’t tell dirty jokes. 

No swear words (unless you are quoting a man calling women "bitches"), no dirty jokes, but it's A-Okay to hop online and talk to strange men about their sex lives.  It's what all of the godly women are doing.

Great lesson.   

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

Yesterday's blog was women need to stay married to addicts, even if they are shooting up in front of the kids, because as long as he isn't beating you to death it's OK.  Because you're saving his soul by staying and he'll be going to hell in a handbasket if you leave.

Today she's back on the meek gentle quiet train -- basically telling women to shut up and not speak at all.

So in 2 days Lori has advised her leghumper fangirls to:

1) Stay married no matter what forever, although if you're being beaten it's sorta kinda OK to leave.  But don't divorce and take him back the minute he says he's changed,

2) Just shut up, don't say anything, because women have nothing worthwhile to say anyway.

We already know godly women are supposed to give sex on command.   Sooooooo ........ never leave, be silent, sex on command?  Sounds like a blow-up sex doll to me

[dairyfreelife]

Speaking of autism not happening when Lori was young, did anyone ever watch the documentary about the "Rain man Twins"? They would be around Lori's age now I believe. They were a rare extreme as autistic savants, but it's solid proof that yes, autistic children did exist. 

Asperger's and other mild forms of autism were not known when I was young. The only autistic children were the severe ones who spent the day in the special education classroom. The ones with serious mental disabilities, the ones non-verbal.

This could be applied to her for sure. Donald Trump would also do well to heed this advice. The world would appreciate it.

Are the twins named Flo and Kay, or is that another set?

Yes, that was them.

Hi.  First time I've ever posted.  Been lurking a long time.  With regards to Daniel Gerhartz, who is the artist Lori keeps using on her Facebook and blog images...well, I contacted him a few days ago to let him know of both her use of his work and the content of some of her writings.  He replied that he would be looking into it.  I felt pretty confident that she was not getting his permission, since that just seems to be how she rolls.

Welcome to FJ!   I think I've read some of your comments over on FB, unless I've got you mixed up with someone else (I don't comment or 'like' anything involving Lori for reasons involving semi-fundie family members of my own, but I appreciate everyone who challenges Lori in one way or another). I hope Gerhartz puts some serious fear of copyright infringement and legal action into her. Thank you for contacting him! 

[Koala]

Good!  She "borrows" images and content way too often. It's high time someone called her on it.

[AlwaysDiscerning]

I see at the bottom of today's post she gives credit to Daniel Gerhartz. Was that up there this morning? Maybe he since contacted her since she posted this morning and she added that in?

I don't think that was there this morning. I scrolled through her posts and noticed that she has added that note to several of her posts in which she used his work. 

As a "published author," Lori really should be very aware of the proper steps to take when featuring someone else's work.  She is just so arrogant she probably assumed these TRUE professionals (people with real talent) would overlook her actions because...you know...she had a post go viral and all. I think she should issue a public apology in her next post. 

Ken, how about you insist your wife do the right thing for once and make her apologize for her thieving ways. 

[SuperNova]

Lori has been adding the painter's name to the bottom of her posts for at least a week or more. I liked one of the images she used about a week ago and looked up the artist because she had credited him. I seriously doubt that she asked for permission to use the images, though. She's a taker.

[AlwaysDiscerning]

Darn if Anna only contacted him a few days ago and she has been posting the name for more than a week, he will probably check out her site and see nothing wrong, but then again...even if you credit someone's name, if you add to their work like how she puts the post title over his paintings, is that still an infringement, even if gave credit?

"Having a meek and quiet spirit means we are content and even aggressively pursue contentment. This means we enjoy being silent and not having to be the center of attention or just talking about nothing important. If we do talk, we need to learn to carefully measure our words and if we feel like we want to say something mean or critical, we shut it down very quickly and say nothing instead".

 

This reminds me so much of a book my father had titled, "You Must Relax".  My sisters and I still laugh about it.  

I nominate "Aggressively Pursuing Contentment" as another thread title.

In her spewing of garbage oh-so-holy words of wisdom today... ' When she opens her mouth, for it is not always open...'  

Need I say more?

I love this.

Ken Alexander There is no issue of less of a godly man. There may be times that a couple believes a wife must work to make ends meet, and that decision is between them and the Lord. But as she is working they must keep mind that it is not God's ideal for her or the kids, especially if they are young.

They will be standing before the Lord some day giving an account of how they raised their kids. It would be a shame to tell the Lord that it "was necessary" that the wife worked, but our kids did have issues created by not proper bonding with Mom, or kids lost to the world instead of saved for eternity. How often is it truly "necessary" that Mom work full time outside the home when the kids are young and how often is "necessary" just another way of saying, we wanted more of what the world has to offer? Consider this in light of how the rest of the world lives on 1/10th, or less, of what the average American makes. If it is truly necessary I believe the Lord will provide his protections on the kids, until Mom can get home to properly care for her greatest treasures.

Shaila Sims-McLaughlin I agree, it takes 2 incomes just to make ends meet.

Thank you, Shaila Sims-McLAughlin, for making me laugh on a Monday morning!

So, Lady Lydia fired a shot across Lori's bow:

Damn, I never thought I'd see the day when Lydia would look totally reasonable.

I can see it all now.  Ken and Lori are at the Pearly Gates and Jesus walks up and sits down with His Heavenly Ledger.  "Well, I can see here that you, Lori and Ken, allowed yourselves to be caught up in the pursuit of commercialism by both of you holding down jobs while you had children.  Don't you understand that this isn't Biblical and goes against the words of all those guys who wrote it some 300 years after I died?  Yes, that's right, I sat down with them and had them pen exactly what I wanted them to say!  I had some trouble bonding with my mom after she began working as a weaver and I know it affected my heavenly relationship with her.  Sadly, we hardly speak now and I haven't seen Joseph in 2,000 years".
