Mimi_: OK...I know what...I'm afraid I do it to myself...at first, and even now sometimes, I feel awkward in the group because I have epilepsy and am not physically disabled. I have asked myself if I really belong here.

Mooooooo: hi sweet :o)
HelloKit: Hey laidback, SweetHP
lotaca: are all wheelchair users materialistic ?
SweetHP: Hi!
laidback: huh???
HelloKit: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, LOTACA?
zzdster: what the #$#$?
lotaca: I mean I have this cheap donated chair, and when I inquire of others
Wrenn: ?
lotaca: about their chairs I get snubbed
Mooooooo: ive seen a lot of complaining because one person has a Quickie and another one doesnt
*** zzdster is now known as Dster
AmyWonder: well, when I lived in a dorm for disabled some made fun of me
lotaca: It's not that I hold a passion for ANY chair
lotaca: but because mine is 10000 years old ?
laidback: yea thats what kind i got after ears
laidback: years
Mooooooo: I agree, a chair is a chair
Mimi_: and I've heard people talk about how 'cool' their chair looks, that for them it's like buying a car: it can't just be a chair with 4 wheels
Wrenn: i've seen some snobbishness at Ability Expo's - it's sophomoric.
SweetHP: Why should anyone snub you because of your chair brand name? We all need certain things that not all chair makers can provide.
Mimi_: ping me
lotaca: Sorry to admit it, but I thought we were supposed to help each pther, it really hurts
duckgirl: well with a chair must must conside comfort and easy moving when your in it all the time
Mooooooo: i think its like Nike's as opposed to k-mart brand
HelloKit: Well, I admit I like the look of my chair too... it does matter, but it's not what's important.
DopeHat: ping me
Dster: If the coolness of the chair is directly related to how function it makes a person then I don't see anything wrong with being proud of it.
laidback: shouldnt brag but is most near 2 car i will come unless i get rich
HelloKit: But I would never make fun of someone because I thought my chair was nicer.
SweetHP: I agree Dster!
Mooooooo: Amy, how did they make fun of you
AmyWonder: I have cp and they had md, and
Mooooooo: ?
lotaca: Cool chairs are cool chairs, all I did was ask
laidback: true hello
Dster: I really could care less what they look like I care how they perform.
SweetHP: Me too!
HelloKit: But for me, I know I'd rather be seen in my black and teal chair than in the raspberry pink chair I used to have... yuck!
HelloKit: But if someone else has a pink chair, so what?
SweetHP: I had a neon pink Quickie, but now I have an Action XT.
laidback: they were just js ppl in and out can b at times right all
duckgirl: I have to admit i like my cool...splatter white quickie
AmyWonder: when I cryed
laidback: aww
Dster: My chairs always have to much dirt on them to tell what color they are :)
HelloKit: LOL
Dster: and that is the way I like em.
Wrenn: lol
Mimi_: *g*
HelloKit: I WANT TO ASK YOU GUYS SOMETHING...
Dster: Gives them that lived in look.
SweetHP: The Quickie just couldn't hold up to camping and things like that...but my XT can!

Mimi_: Hello Han! :o)
HelloKit: IN THE DISABLED MESSAGE BOARDS ON AOL, ESPECIALLY THE PARKING BOARD, PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE FIGHTS OVER WHO HAS MORE OF A RIGHT TO THE DISABLED PARKING SPACES...
duckgirl: Sweethp...I have to disagree with you my quickies has been all over the world thru all sorts of stuff
{Tripod}: drag race?
* Lao-tzu says greeting, grettings to all
* Lao-tzu says greeting, grettings to all
Mimi_: and brag about who had the faster chair, Keith?
duckgirl: hey how do you get to those boards
Mooooooo: greetings
lotaca: People with LEGAL placards/plates do
AmyWonder: they were all guys: I was thee only woman
Mooooooo: To the new arrivals, all questions tonight are in bold and caps
HelloKit: IS THIS A DISCRIMINATION THING, OR COULD BUSINESSES, ETC. HAVE CAUSED THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T PROVIDE ENOUGH SPACES?
lotaca: I'm sorry, did I start something ?
DopeHat: but we wouldn't fight
laidback: m quickie has the big tires and lot of power 1 thing i like i dont get stuck
Dster: It is more of a legal/moral/medical thing in my mind.
Mooooooo: It's simply a factor that whether abled or disabled, people like to bitch
SweetHP: Duckgirl...do you have aol?
laidback: true hello theres not near enough
Mimi_: In misc.handicap, there was griping overthe elderly using handicapped parking
{Tripod}: that's right Moo
lotaca: Business IS to blame, followed by the abled body folks who use someone elses placard
Lao-tzu: ooh boy, i'm going to be silent for a while trying to figure out what's going on
Dster: It is always difficult for Dr
Dster: It is always difficult for Dr
duckgirl: sweetHpAOL is not my provider
Mimi_: my grandmother is 93 and uses a walker...is she less entitled to use a h. space just because her disability is the result of old age?
Dster: It is always difficult for Dr's to enforce public policy.
HelloKit: I MEAN, PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A MORE SEVERE DISABILITY, THEY'RE MORE ENTITLED. IS THIS JUST BECAUSE WE STRUGGLE TO GET AHOLD OF THE FEW SPACES THERE ARE?
Mooooooo: I know exactly who should them
laidback: old pll have just same right as we i think
Mooooooo: anyone who needs a lot of space to get in and out of a car
{Tripod}: i agree again Moooo
Mimi_: or who has trouble walking very far, like my gramma
Mooooooo: that was next :o)
lotaca: Wouldn't be a parking problem if parking slots were used correctly
HelloKit: I UNDERSTAND THAT, MIMI. BUT WHAT I DON'T LIKE IS THE FACT THAT EVERYONE GETS A PERMIT WHEN THEY TURN 65.
{Tripod}: the space thing is it
DopeHat: do what i do take two regular spaces
gordon4: No they don't get a permit wgen they turn 65 here in RI
Mimi_: well, that's ridiculous, Carly...they have to have a legitimate disability
{Tripod}: i've yet to take two
duckgirl: I like the taking two spaces idea
Dster: Why not go for the disability hat trick and take three spaces :)
laidback: 1 thing that ticks me is 1 they have the space for us but its so small if u have a ramp u in the drive wave and have to look out 4 cars
laidback: !!!
duckgirl: this parking situtatio is way out of control
Wrenn: hahaha - hat trick
lotaca: more ways than one

HelloKit: ANYWAY, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'RE MORE ENTITLED TO OTHER SERVICES BECAUSE THEY HAVE A MORE SEVERE DISABILITY?
AmyWonder: they should make a whole row os reserved spaces
duckgirl: there are way to many hanging plates arouns here...I hate it
{Tripod}: the only thing that tics me off is when they stick the nose of the vehicle over the side walk
DopeHat: and don't call the police cause they won't come
lotaca: Not enough parking stalls, too much misuse by the non disabled, inadequate facilities and a partridge in a pear tree
DopeHat: or ramp
HelloKit: LOL lotaca
Mooooooo: hah
HelloKit: Ain't that the truth...
laidback: lol

Mooooooo: this isnt unique among this disabled
AmyWonder: but never talked about it
laidback: brb
Mimi_: you deserve to go there too Carly
Dster: you take up a parking space at camp?
Mooooooo: plain old envy and jealousy
laidback: k back
{Tripod}: don't worry about Kit, you are deserving
DopeHat: if they say its ok then go Carly
HelloKit: LOL no I mean the bed, the food, the space I take up at camp. Someone doesn't get to go, because I'm there.
Mimi_: You're not less deserving than someone else Carly
SweetHP: But Kit...there is more than one camp.
{Tripod}: you care to go, and i believe that is enough
Lao-tzu: Dster you asked why *they* don't ask disabled people before they build something. I thing that perhaps it is up to us to become more proactive and actually take part in the design process. That may be by actually asking to be part of the comitee in charge or banging on the door of the council-person responsible
Mooooooo: yep
AmyWonder: Kit, you have a right to hace fun too
Dster: there is I have never been to camp...I mean I have been camping but that is different.
Mimi_: good point, Han
laidback: same here
Mooooooo: i went to camp once
Mooooooo: never got invited back
DopeHat: yea that sounds good lao
Mimi_: hahaha
AmyWonder: just cause you aren''t dying
Mimi_: I wonder why, Daniel....*g*
HelloKit: DO YOU THINK THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE LEARNING DISABLED, OR VICE-VERSA?
SweetHP: I went to camp quite a few years!
{Tripod}: is this camp just for cp people?
Mooooooo: because they had to take me to the emergency room 3 times
laidback: never have alwas just got in trouble with my cuz !!
laidback: hehe
Mooooooo: depends on what you mean by discriminate
Mimi_: Well, at misc.handicap I've had people e-mail me wondering 'what I'm doing there' :oP
Dster: as mama gump used to say disabled is as disabled does.
SweetHP: Where I live it is vice-versa.
HelloKit: LOL
Mooooooo: haha

Mooooooo: hi assid
DopeHat: heh
assid: HEY HOWS IT GOING
laidback: hi assid
Mooooooo: great :o)
Mimi_: hey assid :o)
SweetHP: There is more support for the learning disabled than the physically disabled. I live near Roanoke, Virginia.
laidback: same old u?
Mooooooo: what is the rario?
Mooooooo: ratio
assid: IF IT TAKES ME AWHILE TO TYPE ITS BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE ARM WITH 2 FINGERS
assid: :)
Mooooooo: of learning to physical disabilities
nate_: Where i live the people that threten to sue get the help
laidback: that works
Mimi_: no problem, assid :o)
Dster: I think there is more support in general because there is less opportunity for that population.
assid: INEED A SUPPORT GROUP!!!
HelloKit: A lot of us are slow typists here, assid.
{Tripod}: hey assid use what you got
HelloKit: Same here, nate.
Dster: Not to mention us bad spellers assid :)
SweetHP: Of course...most people here think if you're physically disabled, then you're learning disabled as well.
Wrenn: :) assid
laidback: hey have ten still cant type worth sh@t
laidback: hehe
assid: HOW ABOUT MY DICK
Mooooooo: very true Sweet
Wrenn: lolol
DopeHat: i type slow
HelloKit: Very true, SweetHP... even our school district is guilty of that one.
Lao-tzu: Before my accident I had a different perception of disabled people; I didn't understand how many variations of disability existet, however, even before my accident I have never discriminated against slower learners or for that matter anybody. What I have learned is to deal with the different forms of disability (not everything of course -- I don't know them all) As far as that thing about people saying 'I'm going to ask a *stupid* question'
Mooooooo: my elementary school was like that
assid: I UNDERSTAND
Lao-tzu: I have alsways replied 'the only *stupid* question is the one that doesn't get asked'
assid: well my person needs to help go pee
assid: byree
Mimi_: thank you, Han, for saying that....I have lots of 'stupid' questions :o)
*** assid has left #disabled

SweetHP: I would say, by ratio, there are more learning disabled here than physically disabled. However, most with physical disabilities here stay in the closet.
SweetHP: They think they can't do things everyone else does.
assid: if your lost all of your appendages would you have rto type with your private parts
HelloKit: DSTER HAS A QUESTION...

Dster: no I dont
HelloKit: DO PEOPLE ACT DIFFERENTLY TOWARD PEOPLE WITH CONGENITAL DISABILITIES THAN THEY DO TOWARD PEOPLE WHO ACQUIRED THEIR DISABILITIES LATER IN LIFE?
HelloKit: Oops, forgot to bold that...
Lao-tzu: SweetHP: do you really think that way, I have met many persons in wheelchairs that run support groups, myself, I just came back from the Residents Executive meeting, etc.
SweetHP: When I got married to an able-bodied man, it was thought that he was condemning himself to a life of taking care of me.
SweetHP: Well...where do you live?
HelloKit: DO PEOPLE ACT DIFFERENTLY TOWARD PEOPLE WITH CONGENITAL DISABILITIES THAN THEY DO TOWARD PEOPLE WHO ACQUIRED THEIR DISABILITIES LATER IN LIFE?
HelloKit: There.

Dster: More likely to get the Isn't he a miracle crap if you have had it all your life IMHO.
laidback: cool sweet congrats!
* HelloKit agrees.
SweetHP: That didn't keep the kids from picking on him calling me a 'M-F cripple'.
{Tripod}: i'm kinda scared to be with a woman now after the accident. I just don't know how to make them comfortable about my condition
Mooooooo: People tell me 'im special' all time
* HelloKit gags!
Wrenn: I sometimes think but hate] that I am less discriminated against because I have a late onset disorder and don't look i'm not being intentionally offensiive]
Dster: Another thing is that the recently disabled spend way to much time and energy on cures IMHO.
Mooooooo: the next one gets his lights punched out
DopeHat: i get tired of that moo
Wrenn: look disabled - sorry
{Tripod}: i agree Moooo
laidback: yea know what u mean moo
SweetHP: Oh but how about how much of an 'Inspiration' you are?!

Wrenn: my DREAm is to have a nice relationship with someone else with my disorder.
Wrenn: more understanding
Mooooooo: what is your disorder?
{Tripod}: i have a son and i am scared he will be ashamed of me since i am in the chair now

Wrenn: hmmmmmm
laidback: ppl have been like that with me sweet
Mooooooo: I prefer a breathing deduction
Lao-tzu: SweetHP, I guess children can get pretty nasty. I have 2 grown ups (26 & 27) and the younger one and his friends still ask me to pull out my old Fender Strat and jam with them. They lift me into places I couldn't otherwise get into
