I'm sorry, the link isn't working - maybe a problem with the end bit of the link.

The link works in the first word -- "this." The rest looks as if it's part of the link but isn't actually.

I suspect the oblique (slash) is missing before the "a" at the end of the link, so it's acting like the beginning of a new and malformed link instead of closing the existing one.

I like communicating through the internet because it puts me on equal footing with those who do not have chonic pain and mobility problems. I read books and watch films and see people running, jumping, moving, just getting up and walking to the door, or bending over to get something out of a kitchen cabinet, and I wonder at their marvelous mobility. This that are "normal" aren't "normal" for me - they are difficult, awkward, and sometimes impossible.

Another good reason to live online. I find it useful because I'm an introvert. Online I can socialize when I have the energy and there's always someone around. Doesn't take as much energy as f2f socializing too.

*Hugs* Sigh. I wonder how many people make it through middle age without developing some sort of disability - and that's not counting those who have lived with it most or all of their lives.

I don't see you much, but I always think of you fondly and treasure you.
