David Sedaris- Pretty much awesome. - We're disabled, not dead

Were disabled, not dead. Back off, sparky! David Sedaris- Pretty much awesome. Dec 24th, 2010 at 4:46 AM. I read this over in David Sedaris' Naked. And I thought it was snarky and hunourous enough to share, and I think a lot of us here can relate:. Peg would beckon the speaker close and whisper, "I collect the teeth from live kittens and use them to make necklaces for Satan.". WELL SURE YOU DO," they'd say.

Dear BigCorporateInsurannce Company - We're disabled, not dead
http://dot-gimp-snark.livejournal.com/286371.html
Were disabled, not dead. Back off, sparky! Dec 23rd, 2010 at 7:08 PM. Thanks ever so much for locating the security footage and determining that it was not the restaurant's fault that I fell. Since I landed in the drive-through. My injuries weren't that severe, although my hand felt bruised for the next month. Maybe I should just buy a new walker and send you the bill? Or, maybe I should just have you. Foot the bill for designing and building my own? 6 comments Leave a comment. Disability advocates never...

nightshade1972 :: Well, I have been fired by my neurologist
http://nightshade1972.livejournal.com/51255.html
Well, I have been fired by my neurologist. I started seeing my (now former) neurologist at the end of 06. Pretty much the only positive thing I can say about him is that he filled out the RFC which allowed me to get disability. Other than that, however. You do realize that it looks like you have a syringomyelia in your cervical spine, right? Um, no.total news to me. So New Guy wanted me to get a new MRI done to confirm what he thought he saw. And he didnt want an audience if that occurred. He snapped, an...

Friendly crips and our friends. Tags: sex and relationships. August 12th, 2015. How do you feel about online dating? Do you think it is easier to meet people online, or would you rather have the experience of meeting them in person? I think disability affects this. March 31st, 2014. Update on dating a guy with Asperger's. An update on this post. Things have been going really well! Now I come back for another piece of advice regarding the next big hurdle: sex. Cut for frank sex discussion. August 6th, 2013.

Friendly crips and our friends. August 15th, 2015. What do you call it when somebody tries to fix your disability? Somebody who isn't your doctor or nurse, but whose friend, uncle etc was 'just like you' and whose disability was cured by meditation, exercise, positive thinking etc? Also in my opinion, this was an example of how a little knowledge can be got by reading magazines or whatever, but it can be used in very nasty ways. What do you call this kind of thing? Describing disability: naming it. My bo...

Annoying memes - Let off steam!

Annoying memes - Let off steam! Jul 9th, 2012 10:07 pm. Does anyone else have a big problem with Facebook memes? These are those so-called inspirational photos with a cute or pithy saying on them. They often refer to some form of what has been called "crip-spiration" when a person with a disability is used to show all those able-bodied what anyone can do if they really TRY! The other one was a picture of Oscar Pistorious, the sprinter who is a double amputee and has just qualified for the summer Olympics...
