Yeah, my sis was in labor for 72 hours. Yuck.

I've been out and about with my nieces and nephews (there are sixteen of them—I come from a family of six children), and none of them have ever been unduly upset by scars or serious illness. Kids are tough. When my neph and I were walking through a store and he saw a woman with an amputated leg, he asked me what had…

My roommate is a model. I'm debating whether or not I should show this to her. :/

I don't know if I even watched TaleSpin. If it was on cable, I did not have access to it. In fact, if it was on regular TV, I only had access when my mom and siblings weren't home.

Me too. When is new season? Soon? Please?

My brain went to Duck Tales and has stayed there. Meh.

My point is, though, YOU don't know they were just assholes. Do you have some sort of access to their health records? Probably not. It is very likely that some of them WERE assholes, but to lump them all together because you can't see who is and who isn't disabled is very, very silly. And not all invisible…

I have two service animals, both cats. One helps with anxiety, the other detects seizures (she detected a seizure this morning). Sorry, you don't have correct info and you aren't legally allowed to inquire about this woman's disability. If she tells you it's a service animal, legally you have to leave it at that.

I have severe allergies, a couple that are life threatening and some that are just annoying. I'm also disabled. Here's the difference. When allergens are present, I can leave. I can wear a medic alert bracelet that says which drugs I'm allergic to. I can check labels to make sure I'm not eating food I'm allergic…

Transport can be frustrating, but remember that there are "invisible" disabilities. I've had people (including bus drivers) be incredibly rude and purposely try to make me trip and fall (I guess they want to check the validity of my disability?) when they see me pay the reduced fare and sit in priority seating. I loo…

It seems really weird to me. I live in SLC, I'm disabled, and active in the disability community. So much of the community is very, very animal friendly. I've never had a friend receive any type of harassment when they take their dogs into stores. Of course, I've never been to Ann Taylor. Is it at City Creek? If…

I recommend it. It's always good to have a box for the box.

I just felt horrible for my therapist. She was so nice and good at her job, and her creepy husband ruined both of their reputations.

Almost everything I own is second hand, and I keep it in very good condition. I only wash clothes when they are actually dirty, though. People in the US overwash clothing a lot. If I have spilled something on my clothes or they have a distinct odor, I throw them in the wash. Undies of course, I wash after every…

Socks are wonderful for dusting AND . . .

I haven't bought new clothes (besides a swimming suit and underwear) in two years. Before that, I didn't have a lot of options because I lived in small towns that didn't have very good thrift stores, but I still got a lot of clothes second hand and then wore them for years and years. In high school, almost…

No one has ever been able to hypnotize me, but I tend to be pretty untrusting. My sister, on the other hand, was hypnotized (or hypnotized herself) just by watching one of those cheesy stage hypnosis shows. She actually thought it was really scary. So I can see how it's possible.

Yeah, the 1 in 10 with autism. You realize that the statistic Autism Speaks (a "charity" most autistic people and people with autistic children/loved ones think is complete bosh) includes ANYONE one the autism spectrum. So if you have very mild Aspergers, congrats! You're one of the 1 in 10! Basically, Autism…

So, saying that your kid might get a life-threatening illness if s/he isn't vaccinated is fear mongering, but saying your kid might be disabled if she is vaccinated isn't fear mongering. Ok.

My nephew can't be vaccinated because he had a serious reaction when they tried to give him his first shots. It makes me really worried, especially because my sister is friends with a lot of "no-vax" types. I have friends who almost lost their kids to whooping cough (one who's child hadn't been vaccinated yet, one…
