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...
