GleeCrip: 30 Days - A Challenge
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2013/11/30-days-challenge.html
Saturday, 2 November 2013. 30 Days - A Challenge. A Post a Day for 30 Days. Samantha is doing it and challenged me to revive my blog. I have missed one day but will pop an extra in to make up. I feel good lately. The sun is shining and it's getting warmer every day. My best time of the year. I don't feel like writing about the problems of Ableism or the shitty system (same same). But the toilet. Yes there was one but no sign on it and Peter the VP didn't even realise it was there! It's great fun and my B...

GleeCrip: Crips
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2010/09/crips.html
Tuesday, 21 September 2010. Glenda - Going to the Minister does not work for ordinary crips. Others - "crips"? Way to put the cause back 20years, Glenda! Glenda if we dont refer to ourselves in a positive manner, how can we expect anyone else to? That is a very offensive term. Here is a blog post where the woman refers to herself as a cripple and you will see how powerful it is! Http:/ wheelieanurse.blog.com/2010/09/02/just-when-you-thought-it-was-safe-to-get-back-on-the-train/. By the way crip is also:.

GleeCrip: Dishes
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2010/08/dishes.html
Friday, 13 August 2010. You know that screen saver called "Marquee" on Windows where you can type in words and then they float across your screen like a banner? Mine was "Love your disability it gets you out of doing the dishes". HAHAHAH. Grin grin grin. Yup. A middle aged man looking like he'd just won a million dollars. An ease, an access he had never experienced before! It struck me almost like an arrow to my heart what deprived and imprisoned lives we lead. Disabled for sure! View my complete profile.

Monday, 20 December 2010. From the Carer's Recognition Act - nice to see it defined:. Who is a carer?

The disability may relate to a physical, intellectual or mental illness, a chronic disease, a terminal condition or may relate to a person who is frail and therefore needs assistance to carry out daily tasks. Who is not a carer? For the purposes of the Act).

GleeCrip: BLAH MORE BULL!!
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2010/07/blah-more-bull.html
Saturday, 31 July 2010. Last week I received a letter from Domiciliary Equipment Services here in SA because I am due to get a new wheelchair soon. I have been driving an electric wheelchair for over 15 years. What they are telling me is that before I can have my new chair that I have to be assessed as MEDICALLY FIT TO DO SO by my bloody DOCTOR and then a further PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT by an OT or PHYSIO. What would my doctor know about driving a wheelchair? I am so ANGRY about this. SOOOOO insulted. I thi...

GleeCrip: February 2009
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 February 2009. I want my drugs back! Oh dear. Here I have been riding on a steroid induced high for a couple of months. Have been gradually weaning off since a month after I started them. On doctors advice I have been slowly weaning off the Prednisilone at 5mg each week. A friend warned me that I would hit a low when I stopped and it was a helpful warning. Friends say "Why can't you stay on them? Naa, very bad in the long term in many ways. Links to this post.

GleeCrip: Ableism and Ableist People aka Let's call a Spade a Spade
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2013/11/ableism-and-ableist-people-aka-lets.html
Sunday, 3 November 2013. Ableism and Ableist People aka Let's call a Spade a Spade. Do NOT use the D word. If we keep referring to their label for us then that is where we will stay. Disabled. THIS discrimination belongs with those who do it. Call it after the people who discriminate. Call it Ableism. Put it where it belongs! You are not Normal.". They cost thousands upon thousands. I bring my own chair so get them to bring their own chair! He giggled as if I was talking nonsense. The people in control, ...

GleeCrip: November 2013
http://gleecrip.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 11 November 2013. On the topic of Institutions, big or small, for disabled people. I haven't had the right to question ableism let alone challenge it till lately so how could I possibly have all the solutions for every disabled person? It would also be extremely presumptuous of me if I thought I could. Ahem, so we put old people in institutions so that the band only has to go to one place, for the convenience of the band! Isn’t the usual way that the band goes to a venue and the people go (...
