In this episode, we explore just what makes a store wheelchair accessible. Will Michele and Betty (the powerchair) find a store with an accessible entrance? And once they get in will they find the narrowness of the aisles results in them knocking down countless numbers of clothing racks like Godzilla through Tokyo Bay? Find out in this segment on Out & About.

A question about disabled people and their parents?

Posted: June 23rd, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping | Tags: , , , , , | 4 Comments »

What does it say about parents who let their severely disabled people live on their own(usually in a group home but still!)
and what does it say about parents who keep a disabled woman home(has hearing loss, speech problems but not mentally retarded and is highly functional) because they’re afraid she’ll get hurt, make a mistake, or die. they refuse to let her move out or drive. Volunteer yeah but no job.

So is it better to have your disabled child at home protected or on their own? I am constantly reminded that less functional and worse off people than me are living on their own(group homes or not).

I’m 25 and on SSD for 600 a month. If only there were camping furniture for every room I’d maybe move out! I can’t afford to live on my own anyway and I don’t qualify for the group homes because I’m not mentally retarded nor developmentally retarded.
I tried everything I could and they still wouldn’t budge. I made mistakes. They’re keeping me home because I did(not breaking the law mistakes)

My counselor is trying to work on my mom’s fears and get her to get me driving and she only called her once! it’s been a month since my counselor called her.


Advice about a family vacation please?

Posted: June 14th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Travel For Disabled | Tags: , , , , | 3 Comments »

My parents want to bring me on vacation this summer, but we cant get on a plane because my mom absolutely hates planes.

Next weekend they want to bring me, and my brother to NH. to see the white mountains. I really don’t think I will have a good time. I don’t see the point in driving around for a weekend looking at trees.

My parents and I do not have a good relationship. We fight constantly and are considering going to family counseling because we disagree so much. I am the youngest in my family. I am 15 years younger than my brother (who is mentally disabled). He is 30.

I know there is no way to get out of this, but I know that spending a weekend away from my friends and fighting with my parents constantly isn’t going to be my idea of a vacation.

Any advice on how to make things better?

Question about Raspberry tea and TTC?

Posted: May 21st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Disability Aid Reviews | Tags: , , | 11 Comments »

I’ve read that raspberry tea will help thin your cm to better aid in sperm mobility. However, the only raspberry tea I can find around here is a brand that is called celestial and it does have caffeine in it. Will it still have the same effects as a non-caffeinated brand? Has anyone find this to work while TTC?
