Hey all, from my previous post, I know you are all aware that I am moving in the next few months. To briefly recap, I moved out to go to graduate school and it didn't work out because of problems with my roommates (not because of my disability). Now my parents are hesitant about me moving again, and they were not at all convinced that I left due ( Read more... )

Hey everyone, I was just wndering is anyone has had/ knows someone who has had a 24 hour live-in? I'm noit just talking about a employee/roomate who works overnight. I'm talking about a person who is "on" for 24 hours a day. If so, how did it work out? Thanks.

Hey all, hope your winter/spring has been good. So I have a couple questions about over-reactive parents. Looooooong story short,  I moved out from home to go to grad school and it turned out that the girls I had arranged to live with (I had known them as friends, and one had been my aide for 2 years) turned out to be terrible, controlling, and ( Read more... )

We bought a house with a 3 acre yard in the middle of nowhere 10 years ago when we were strong and healthy.  DH is sicker than I am and I end up doing most of the chores.  I do not look forward to mowing that blasted 2 acres of grass this year.  Last ( Read more... )

 Hey folks, so I was wondering what you use in the car. I just got tie downs so I dont have to transfer but I'm kind of worried about what I ordered for for additional support. I have  a regular seatbelt that keeps me in my chair  (metal buckle) at all times. I ordered a chest harness  (only for the car, I don't need it to sit) which is technically ( Read more... )
