i saw a lady in a manual wheelchair with a conversion kit which made her wheelchair motorized, you can see the wheelchair is a manual because it has the manual wheels and then you see the additional equipment to make it motorized.

i did not think to stop her to ask her, but since then i have wanted to do that to my manual chair......

could anyone help, please give me web sites if you know them

thanks in advance for yor help

For every seemingly positive their are at least 10 other negative traits as well.And no ,I really do not believe most 'aspies' are pontential Einsteins.I actually think of them as rather stupid in the general I.Q. way too.

Personally, I'm not afraid of "so-called" thugs in the hood. Not even these Neo-Nazi turds. I'm more scared of white suburban teenagers mixed with anti-depression meds, they will be more likely to steal my identity online or shoot me and 30 others at a starbucks.

i am from switzerland and i speak fluent german, french, italian, spanish and english, why people in america are only taught to speak one language, i lived in 7 different countries, kids here speak at least 2 different languages by age 3

you people are so selfish and try to segregate yourselves from the rest of the world! when you should learn how to communicate with people from different countries.

and i know your ancestor came from europe but they were stupid enough not to teach you their native language. you could have all at least learned the language the aboriginal in america spoke. instead your ancestors conquered them and forced them to learn english and kipnap their kids to put them in christian schools and forbid them from speaking their native language what ashame and latino is not a race, people in spain are white not hispanic, dont consider me a different race because i speak french, spanish is a simple language not a race, there is only three races,

I plan on buying 10,000 crickets and letting them loose in the school hallways. Only 1,000 students go to my school, so I think 10,000 will get the job done.

In choosing a 'leader', or 'role model', 'exemplar', etc, is one being true to one's self as such?

If one acts not in accordance with the truth of one's experience, runs one not the risk of following the falsehood of another's delusion, impressive, even intellectually coherant, though it might be?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, given
Love is the law, love under will - love understood in the sense of assimilating one's own experiences per se, which of course includes the experience that others also exist - or should we all simply super size it and go for the Golden Arches position?

My Christian friend is always preoccupied with gays.
He criticizes them all the time.
He talks about gays 24/7. He's obviously unaware that he does.I'm starting to think he's a closet gay right?

I see there are more hate crimes commited against whites than any other race. Also there are so many racist shows and a couple of completely anti-white networks. What is going on here?
Can this be stopped or is it okay?

I am getting that impression by reading many of the questions and answers in this section. I find we have an expectation that they should treat us well and generally not be disrespectful. Are we bogging them down ( specially our offsprings and grandchildren) by the weight of our expectations?

If you want to mention race, I think "Black" with suffice, and many educated Blacks agree. (It's who I heard it from.)
After all, we are "White". Fair is fair.
Isn't "African-American" wordy, as well most Black Americans have never been to Africa, so correct me if I'm wrong, but maybe you still prefer it.
Or maybe dust off, "*****"?

i have been confused for quite some time now. Im not sure whether i like guys or girls or if im just going through a stage. Like when i think of girls it seems that i feel that they are beautiful and cute and such but i really dont have a desire like most guys do to just have sex with them all the time, and i really dont really think about them in that way. Im not sure if im trying to block the idea out of my mind because all my life i have been taught that being gay is bad, but i do find myself thinking about cute guys. I have never tried any thing with guys, and i am so confused ( as i have stated may times before). So basically i am 17 and am a junior in high school. I guess i like girls but i find myself liking them in a more cudely way, not really too sexual. I think of guys and think that i might want to try doing things with them, but feel that their insensitive most of the time, and then again somethimes i dont have those desires. Can someone help please, this is killing me.

Yes, I have a mental illness, but that shouldn't stop me from working, should it? I'm tired of living off of SSI & Social Security all the time. Where is $643/month gonna get me? & they call it a benefit. I'd rather work & make more money. I know plenty of people with mental illnesses who have children & jobs & manage very well. Why does no one want me with children or a job? Yes, I know it's stressful, but I want to be ABLE-not disabled. & people contradict themselves by saying I use my disorders as a crutch or excuse, but they don't want me to live a normal life.

Also, I'm starting school again, & people are trying to talk me out of going to school, telling me I'm not mentally capable.
