No ways !!! disabled  (dɪˈseɪbəld) adj a. lacking one or more physical powers, such as the ability to walk or to coordinate one’s movements, as from the effects of a disease or accident, or through mental impairment b. (as collective noun; preceded by the): the disabled. Usage: Nowadays it is better to refer to people with physical disabilities of various kinds by describing the specific difficulty in question rather than talking about the disabled as a group, which is considered somewhat offensive. Some people also object to the word disabled to refer to facilities for people with disabilites, and prefer the word accessible Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged, 12th Edition 2014 © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014 I hadn’t given this much thought , I guess I’m too stubborn for my own good, too proud to admit it perhaps but for the first time this week I began to ponder … am I really disabledContinue reading “Disabled …Me, no ways …?”

For me as summer looms large so doesContinue reading “Its going to be a long hot summer”

I was rather shocked , disappointed in myself to see I last posted in September….I must admit it’s not due to writers block…rather lets just say blocked writer ! The hands decided not to really cooperate …more like type 5 lines then freeze….repeat. Motivation wise that and the state of the world over the pastContinue reading “Nobody said it would be easy…”

“2020 has been a gut-punch…” so Alexa keeps telling me when she reads the news…(I can only take a few minutes at a time …I guess everyone is getting a bit sick of the constant barrage of questionable “News” …(No ?)
