People with Disabilities

I had a stroke about 5 years ago, im 34 now,
to cut a long stry short, I've been living in this boarding house for about 2 weeks, this guy has been showing an extreme amount of interest, and we started making out last night. We had kissed before, but not like that.
So I asked if he had protection.
He didn't.
So I told him to get some.
He said he couldn't get the car right now.
So I told him to walk to the gas staton.
He said he'd take care of it tomorrow.
So I'm not worth walking to the gas station?
How insulted should I be?
Should I be grateful for the attention im getting, considering the condition im in?
Should I make him pay for it through the nose?
Is his Impassionate cold nature due to his English heritage?( Im greek)
For pitys sake, He's been drooling over me for two weeks, I give him a chance and he does'nt jump?
Is he impotent?
or just stupid?

Is someone who is depressed normal, because they are sad.
Is someone with anxiety normal, because they worry too much.
Is someone suicidal normal, because they're just going through hard times, having a rough day, or just too much too handle.
Is someone paranoid normal, maybe they have psychic abilities and are afraid, not knowing how to accept it.
Is someone with trust issues normal, maybe they have had their share of bad experiences.
Is this person capable of working even if he or she is battling with their emotions, challenging their symptoms to become a productive citizen.
Should this person with any of these characteristics be employed

My wife recieves higher rate DLA care and mobility, she has been off work since february recieving IB since August, and the DWP have told her due to her receipt of higher rate care dla, she no longer needs to send in sick notes.

Due to her worsening health she is not going to be able to return, however her employer wishes for her to return to work and wants her to come and see their own doctor. While we have no problems with doing this if there was a chance she were going to be returning to work, there doesnt seem much point of it, so if she hands in her notice now, will that stop her receipt of Incapacity Benefit?

Thanks

her mother wants to save her the trauma of having periods and all the disruption that hormones bring.Predictably the usual suspects are up in arms shouting about human rights.How can a girl with no communication, doubly incontinent, no awareness of her condition have rights over her mother?

I lost my hearing completely at age 26, 10 years ago. I had no help with rehab the doc gave me tranqs and the social worker told me to 'learn to lip read, cos your gonna need it'.
It took me some time to accept the situation but i have worked hard to try to become accepted in the Deaf community, they are very nice and friendly towards me but i am not yet fluent in BSL and its difficult. I feel stuck in the middle. Deaf people think im hearing and hearing people think im deaf. The only other deafened in my area are the oldies.
Its all getting me down.....and i feel a freak

Why do deaf people move their lips when they sign? Today on the news I was watching this deaf guy sign about something. While signing, he was also moving his lips like he was talking. What's the point?

What are some adaptive PE activities that children can participate in that simulate a disability to teach them about the Paralympics? For example, sitting volleyball, where instead of standing, all children must sit so they can understand what it is like to play a sport with a disability.

I'm not angry or complaining, I'm just curious.
I wrote honestly and from my heart and I just want to know why people had a problem with it.

I am taking tennis classes 3 times a week. There are 2 disabled students in my class and they have their own mentor who makes sure they are safe, etc. So for the past two weeks or so, I have been noticing that one of the disabled students has a crush on me. He stares at me for a long time, but what is even more uncomfortable is he comes and stands right behind me, very close to me. I don't know what to do, it's making me feel very uncomfortable. I am kinda of shy to tell the kid off or should I talk to his mentor?
Do you think that kid would understand if it was explained to him not to stand so close to me?

I agreed to sell my house, but imprudently exchanged contracts before I'd found somewhere to move to. I looked for properties over a long period, but had difficulty finding somewhere I could cope with because of my problems such as partial sight and muscular weakness.
Now the prospective buyer has decided to sue me since I have passed the agreed completion date, and there is a possibility I may be evicted if he succeeds.
Can they force me to live somewhere I would find difficult or dangerous to live?

I was in Eureka Springs last month with my mother. Downtown we could only eat in one place, and she had to get out of her wheelchair with aid and step up a step to even get in it. We could not even shop down one whole street of stores because it was completely not accessable for a wheelchair, or even someone having to use a walker. I was furious! Most of the stores that she could get in on the other street had multilevels and she could not even go beyond the first little area to shop. What can be done about this, if anything?

Fall is on its way, chilly, damp weather here in BC. Which means a flare up of aches and pains and joint problems for many of us. How are y'all coping?

Yesterday was one of those days for me. Woke up so stiff it was like rigamortis set in during the night. Just breathing caused that ache we FMS people know so well. Hobbling around like an old crone of about 110. Then the last living light bulb in my kitchen blew. Which meant trying to find some good samaritan willing to come over and change it. Luckily my landlord showed up ! So I didnt have to go out and buy new tubes for it either. However he objected to the thermostat being set at 74 to try and get the damp out of the house. :-( I was going to have a steaming hot bath just as he arrived so that was out. I was wearing my jacket, wrapped in a blanket and shivering and aching - so he decided to fire up the wood insert in the fireplace ! Several hours later as the temperature hit 83 in the LR I was finally able to ....

I'm 15 and i know what it's like to be bullied.
I found that the more you get bullied, the more you get used to it.. till you get to a point when you don't care anymore.. but NOONE should have to put up with it :[
My 7 yr old cousin came has been getting bullied.. because she's sooo quite in school, so people pick on her. :@
I've always liked being "different" and i've always liked wearing alternative clothes and listening to alternative music so because i'm not the same as everyone else people in school take the piss out of me every now and then.
Soooo many people get bullied i witness it almost everyday.. the only thing that makes me laugh is the fact that the bullies are the ones with the problem! And they know it! So they take everything out on others cause it makes them feel good. This isn't even a question... but if you're getting bullied you're not alone..

We've been thinking about looking into getting a Carer/Home Help because we are both registered disabled and are finding certain things very difficult to do at the moment. does anyone get this sort of help and what can they do or aren't allowed to do? Also, how much does it cost? We're on some benefits...DLA, Industrial Injuries and Income Support. Honest answers please. Thanks in advance. xx
