I am interested in the attitudes of the disabled. I am writing about my experiences with Cerebral Palsy--poetry and short stories. My goals: 1.Create an anthology for publication. 2.Research Sociology/Phenomenology of Disability--perception of disability by the disabled--its expression in their writing. 3.Master's in Sociology/Social Work and PhD in Disability Studies. I need academic research and writers who identify as being disabled who are willing to share their experiences and their writing.

I'm not the one to talk about me being brain damaged. It happened when I was born so it's extra harder on me to even think. I'm just saying thatbecause of experiences I have gone through, I would like to help. In other words, I'm there for you no matter what.

I have been having a really hard time coping the past month or so. I would love to go somewhere in the South Pacific. I have had no vacation since 6-'92 when my daughter was shot through the face by her fiance'. She was never suppose to wake up but she surprised everyone. We have no family support up here in Alaska. I got my asso. of arts about a month before she was shot. Tell me about your selves--PLEASE.

hello. i would love to share information on benefits for the disabled in other states. where i live you cannot get decent housing on a sliding scale. i've been on the waiting list since 1996; and if you saw the housing you must take if and when it comes up..........well......hmmmmm. only section 8 housing is offered to the disabled here. i am 49 but no one believes it? i have 3 grown sons. away. and widowed. i've had fatique and weakness since 1996; but work hard at living normally as possible! this year i had my lumbar re-built. my first traumatic surgery. bone degeneration. recovering well and researced thoroughly on how to avoid as much degeneration as possible. still...........living as normally as possible. i enjoy life and fun and have a goal to enjoy it even more. hoping to meet some sweet people across the us. mozarta.

I'm 50 ( I know, an "old fart" ! lol), and I've just celebrated my 1st anniversary with my lovely wife, Virginia (Feb. 14th )! Was married before, but did't work out ...I was young and foolish, lol Am very happy, Virginia is my best friend !! I speak English (obviously ) and quite a bit of Spanish .. Se habla Espanol ? I just retired from working with children for the local YMCA, and the school district for 11 years after becoming disabled (part-time career, of sorts ! Previously worked in the Grocery business for 13 years. Now, I devote my time to my lovely spouse, and my 2 handsome stepsons (Thank God, they don't look like me ! lol )! Have you heard that Country song, "Mr. Mom", yup ..thats me !! Ah .. the consumate "house-husband" ...kinda like it ... its fun !! ... Make dinner for Mama and the boys, keep up the laundry and dishes (Arrg !), and have lots of time ... watching my fav shows ("Judging Amy", "Law & Order", and "The Outer Limits") visiting "on-line, and hangin' with my buddy, "Tiger" ( "The Cat" / "El Gato", lol) !! I almost named my cat "Flaco" (skinny), but I thought it might hurt his feelings lol Its different being "totally retired" ...sometimes gets boring ..thats where you nice folks come in ... Anytime ANY OF YOU, want to visit, just drop me an e-mail, or I can read your messages in the group site. ok ? Sincerely, Ole' "PapaDoc" (thats what my wife calls me ..Ha Ha !) AKA ..

Hello everyone. I am 49 years old, a twin , the mother of two grown children. I have a neurological movement disorder called torsion dystonia. I also have an implanted pump which helps greatly with my continual muscle spasms and chronic pain. I was assulted by a "Monster" of a man which is why I have torsion dystonia. Rape sometimes ends in serious ways. I am generally very happy and involved as much as I can be in LIFE. I hope to meet you all soon. Chris

I was hit by a drunk driver head on going 80 in 1974 and am a disabled vet, age 55, a long time writer, just a quiet soul. I try to help everyone I can. Because I have had IBS for 6 months my diet changed drastically and I hope my Cancer risks have been lowered! All one can do is try to eat healthy and hope for the best! I am for the most part pain free, having to wear 2 back supports 24-7 , but I am happy and that is all that counts. I wish you all a great day. If you like ghost stories feel free to drop by my author website at www.whendarknesscomes.com If you have lower back pain, believe me, you do NOT have to accept that back pain. The 2 $25.00 back supports I wear help me to escape 90% or more back pain. I wear them 24-7 and hardly notice them. Mine came from wal-mart and you may only have to wear one, and perhaps your life will be better. I hope it will. If anyone would like to learn more about what you can do to help prevent Cancer, please e-mail me. I can e-mail you several files and you can be much more informed as to all the little things that will make a big difference in your health.
