The only problem with it is that it don't talk back to you, and it

Hi Carol.
I got my canine from Seeing Eye. The policy at Seeing Eye is not to
train you how to use escalators. However, my trainer showed
me just the same. It is trivial. However,
if you don't do it right then I'll never forgive myself.
Also, although I am trained on how to use the escalator, I use it
as little as possible (e.g., maybe once a month).
I always use the stairs or elevators.
If such are not present, only then will I use the escalator.
it simply isn't worth the risk.
Perhaps you can contact your school and ask them to show you.
I hope you understand my situation.

After my injury, I was told I was given a drug simular to the one

is for reducing the swelling in the neck, causing less injury to
the spinal cord.  It must also be given within hours of the
injury.  I'm not sure if the drug I'm talking about is the same.
Correct me if I'm wrong.  Anyone else have anh insight on this?

Tandy from Rob
Your comments concerning software piracy, especially those concerning
the piracy of screen reading programs or appropriate. However, your
comments concerning the social welfare system of the U.S. should be
tempered with the fact that employability of the blind in the U.S.
depends not only on skills, but as I understand on which State you are
in. Don't jump to the conclusion that people do have a choice, as to
whether they take some low-paying jobs. Here in British Columbia, if
the job doesn't pay enough to get you off of the welfare system, you are
advised not to take it, especially since you will lose your medical
benefits. You will not be able to get back on the welfare system, until
you have used up your savings.

I am putting this forth, so that you realize the universality of the
problem, in various countries. Your argument would have been much better
without the attack on the "lazy welfare, recipients"

Yep, that's what we need, more people with fat or badly trained
guide dogs.  I've had a dog for something over twenty years and
cannot remember ever needing to have the dog on a bus seat.  Car
seats are another issue with these smaller cars and even the cabs
getting smaller.  Someone who doesn't know enough to keep a dog off
of a bus seat has no business having a dog.  I'm sure you were
being anecdotal here, of course.

Mark,

While I'm not an expert on Driver Rehab, I can tell you that there
are several adaptions that will reduce the effort needed to steer.
These are all power assist devices that while reducing force, also
reduce the feedback you get through the wheel.  Some high quads use
'zero effort' steering.  Contacting a custom van modifier that does
handicapped or wheelchair lift equipped vans should get you pointed
in the right direction.  They will know of the optiona available
for you car.

Hi I guess that I must bee a little strange but I am glad that we
have the free mater mailing stuff. I am a school teacher and have
to mail about 20 or 30 books out a week. and the ones that I mail
out that the school wouldn't pay for would put me in the poor
house. As to the tax thing that I know has come up here, here is my
thoughts. I have to put out about an extra 1000$s every year just
to get back and forth to my first school. After that the mileage is
on the school. That's just one expense that sighted folks don't
have to put out money for. That doesn't count the cost for becky
dog's medical stuff and verious trips to the grosery store. that
cost me 5 or 6 dollars at a time. That's another things that folks
who have a car and drive don't have. I know as I used to have a
sighted wife and a new car. The expensis just don't add up. I have
to spend more of my income for things than normal. c u l Marvin

I think I found a ALJ who was tough.  However, my rheumatologist
did not advocate I take a stab at it.  I was complaining to
my Congressman about it so he told me to go for it.  As I
understand it, the only reason(s) I could not qualify was because
of my age and I am not in constant pain.  I do have an unstable
back joint, and pointed it out.  I have half as much mobility
in my back as I should due to systemic Ankylosing Spondylitis.
I have heard from someone in Job Service that he thought it
is government politics since 1980 which was working against me.
It could be, too, I am under 50 years of age and have been making
less than $1000 a year so I would be qualified for SSDI for certain.
I might have had better success if my rheumatologist was all for it.
If I would not be able to borrow money from my parents to attend
higher education, I am certain it is seen to my situation would

Hey Dout. If you're having trouble with canes getting stuck in
drains, get a heavy duty cane. They take a beateing and keep going.
Heck I tried to break 1 once and it didn't break. It;'s reenforced

have to replace on them is the tip. Just a suggestion from Calgary

this is a reply to your views on handouts and freebees.  this christmas
i'm gonna turn the tables around.  you know how when its time to give
money to collectors like bell ringers such as the salvation army etc.
but a blind person is never asked to give.  well i am going to volunteer
to drop a buck in a few buckets this year to see what happens.
hopefully this will start project a positive image of the blind and
besides make you feel good knowing you may have helped somebody in rough
times.   instead of being seen as a taker we may be seen as a giver.  of
coarse we may be thought as independantly wealthy....think positive

Hi Donna,
I mix half water, and half Skin So Soft together in one of those spray
bottles, and then just spray it on to my dog, and  my little pig.
This way, its not at all greasy, gives them a nice soft, shiny coat, and
will keep the fleesoff at the same time!
There is also a wonderful herbal flee powder that you can find in any
good independantly owned health food store that smells good (not like
that rasty stuff they give you at the vet's) you just rub that into the
coat, brush it in by brushing the coat backwards first, then in the
proper dirrection, and your doggie, kitty, piggy, whatever will call you
blessed!
