Disabilities-R-Us

Welcome to Disabilities-R-Us.  Isn't technology amazing?  My girlfriend has Cerebral Palsy and makes
good use of technology.  I have not heard of Dragger/SofType, could you tell me about it?  Also, what  games do you enjoy playing?

Pay property tax each month rather than once a year.  Solves the savings issue and the tax issue.

I am also annoyed that we are not allowed to save money in order to make any kind of purchase other than daily trinkets. The system is designed to keep people down while furthering their own jobs.

That is a very awesome chair Ragman.  I am so happy for you !!!  Now all you need is an action cam to document your wild excursions.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I got stuck with my four wheel drive and got stuck with my powerchair. Yet I continue to cut across fields, yards and off of paved pathways. If I had a dollar for all the stupid things I had done in my youth where I really should not have survived. I would be a ...

"Not Impossible Labs got its start with an impossible idea. Our friend, LA artist Tempt One, was fully paralyzed due to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). He couldn’t move his body, talk ...

I get it. I agree with you all. A local "ahem" nonprofit group here makes tons of money for their pockets while parading people in public places to abolish words. Lets rewrite every law book, law, medical book every few years because of a word used.

1) City sidewalks aren't kept up, some are not passable by wheelchairs.
