what's up with that?

How are ya? I'm not bad, thanks for askin! Anyone out there with a physical disability?? Show of hands......... anyone?? Well, as you all know... I'm a proud card-carrying member of muscular dystrophy... well... perhaps not proud.

"Hi, my name is Jay... and I have muscular dystrophy!" (Now you say... "hi Jay")

Anyway... for those who do have a disability like yours truly, what bugs ya? I will tell you what bugs me... when people ask, "how are you able to manage without giving up?" Truthfully, I HAVE NO IDEA. But I don't say that... I just say "I just do what I can" which is absolutely true. But what kind of question is that anyway? What choice do I really have? I don't have options, do you? No, I didn't think so.

**sighs** thanks for listening, I needed to vent... could you tell?

I think I'm going to make this a weekly topic... I will have one complaint and one positive (balance is one of the keys to a healthy life)... okay, so the above was my one complaint, now I need a positive**thinking**

Okay, I got one! I just got my brand-new voice-recognition headset! Yes, I use it to operate my computer, it's quite nifty. If you need the website to where I ordered it, just drop me a note.

So let's review... compliant: no more "how I do it" I just do it (like the Nike slogan... hope I don't get sued). Positive: new headset!

Till next time, don't forget to buckle up!
