No Pity Shirts

I was thinking about offering disability-related t-shirts on this site, but I did some searching and found a site that already offers some great stuff.

The site is: No Pity Shirts - "The best disability-related and motivational stuff in the galaxy!"

I plan on ordering the shirt that says "Gee, I'm tired. I'd love a Wheelchair. It's easy, just break your neck"!

It rocks!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard this when I was waiting in a long line: "Gee, I wish I could sit down too." Some of you blog readers have asked me about what's appropriate to say or do with a wheelchair crip. THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE!

Nuff said.

Can't we all just get along?

Lizards aren't cuddly, are they? You tell me. This is Ken, Baby Doll's new mate... hopefully. This is Cutie Pie, Junior's new mate... most likely! Here's a close-up of Cutie Pie This is Cutie Pie's and Jr's first date! I think it's love... so far, so good! Ok, here's the story. As most of you know, I raise reptiles . I have 2 snakes, I breed Leopard Geckos, and I have a toad and two Prehensile-tailed skinks . Well, now I have FOUR Prehensile-tailed skinks! My first two skinks were Baby Doll (female) and Junior (male). I had thought that they could live together, but it turns out that even though they are both the same species (prehensile-tailed skinks, aka Corucia zebrata ), they are different sub-species. Baby Doll is Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti (my spell check is going nuts right now!), and Jr is Corucia zebrata zebrata . (Here's a link if you want to read the technical stuff.) Needless to say, they did NOT get along at all. They literal...

Here Doggie!

While shopping at Sprouts today, I had a guy in the next checkout lane actually whistle at Frankie. WHAT?! He whistled to him like he was calling the hounds back from the barn. Then he went to reach for him. I actually placed my hand on this guys chest and said: "He's not a ranch dog, you shouldn't be distracting him, he's working." Mr. Cowboy didn't even apologize... but he got schooled! Oy.

Axe Me A Question

Go ahead and ask. Ask the questions you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair. Nothing is too embarrassing. You might as well ask me on this blog since you are somewhat anonymous and don't have to look me in the eye. What have you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair? Here, I'll start: Q: "Hi, my name is LaLaundria! I wanted to know how do you take a shower?" A: Well, LaLaundria, I sit down. On a shower chair. I have grab-bars installed in my shower/tub and my commode rooms to give me extra balance. A shower chair is a hard plastic chair made to fit in showers and tubs. I have a shower massage type shower head that helps get the water closer to my hair. Howze that? Ask away, no question is off limits! (Oh Jeez, what am I getting myself into!)
