Re: Workers and new driveways.

Yeah, I can empathize with you some.  I have repairs I need for my home, friends from church say they'll help, but they don't.  Insurance company does it's yearly assessment, and I get a red flag for the work not being done.  End result, home owners insurance is canceled.  For a month and a half I h...

Re: Musings

Lying is not a matter of how they feel about you, but how they view themselves.  Because when they are found to be lying, that destroy their credibility.

Re: *BANNED*

Tigger, don't take it so seriously.  I also moderate a few sites, and I know that it takes having a thick skin.  I use that comment on occasion myself, both in humor and realistically as I have encountered mods in other areas that would ban just because you mis-spelt something.  One would do it just...

Astonishing

I am astonished by how people react to me because of my impairments and experience. case in point- college.  I have returned to college.  And with me being 45, it's not hard, but it sure is tough. You see, years back I used to be a major horn-dog.  If it moved I...we...you get the idea.  Always lega...

Re: How Not to Park in a Handicapped Space - ugh!

I almost got arrested a couple months back for how I confront people that park illegally.  I've been threatened with arrest for harassment as the cops say I have no right to look in the window for a placard.  So now I focus in people parked in fire lanes.  A man or woman in a wheelchair has far more...

Re: Losing *everyone* in my life because of disability

I hear ya.  I'm 45 and been dealing with my impairments for a long time.  People cannot see them readily, therefore they do not exist.  And then I'm either a liar, a faker or mentally retarded (when they find out about them).  Happens everywhere- work, school, church, etc. ad nauseum. One church I w...

Re: A slight rant.

Ragman, don't let it get on ya.  Folks get ticked at me when I say I'm a cripple.  Oh well.  It's me, not them, their opinions don't mean shit to me.  I have been evicted, fired, shot at, beaten, sexually assaulted, raped, jailed, and I'm sure I could findd a few more crimes I've been victim of SPEC...

Re: Honesty

Honesty- is it worth it?  Yes. I have a reputation of being too honest.  Is there such a thing?  In some instances, yes.  Do I benefit from it?  You bet.  Everytime. "The truth", they say, "will set you free." It may not make me wealthy, nor find me a job, but at least *I* can sleep at night knowing...

Re: What's up with the wave of police brutality to disabled people?

Nothing new about it.  I have been harassed by cops repeatedly, but never arrested locally.  Not here where I live, at least.  The cops won't do anything to me here because I now own my home.  Before, back in the day of just renting, it was a common occurrence.  To the point of losing count how many...
