...we
can't go visiting because we don't fancy hanging out in people's driveways. I'd like to add --- But we have done this! (Hang out in driveways because there was no alternative) It's just sort of cold now. And I like to sit down on furniture, personally...... ;-) ~~ Sooz The things that will destroy us a politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice. - M.

Why should anyone add something expensive and disfiguring to their house just
because they might have a visit from someone in a wheelchair someday? I mean, we understand that. We're not unreasonable. Oh, I realize that. I know you weren't complaining, just telling it like it is. I just feel rotten that I've never really thought about all the complexities that being in a wheelchair entails. You know those ramps that kids are always building for skate boarding? I was thinking it would be nice to have small, portable ones available for homeowners.

Specifically for you, though, Sooz, I think their timing left a LOT to be
desired. Actually, I don't think LDS missionaries are supposed to be out tracting after dark either. Definitely creepy.

We have a ramp into the house for a formerly elderly golden retriever, and it
works very nicely for persons of the wheelchair-propelled persuasion! The Blessed Fiddy, Patroness Saint of the Disorganized LC in Sunny So Cal Personality Development Specialist (Full-Time Mom!) |

They'd taken the forms off on Friday, so I guess the next step is doing the
tensioning and then framing can start. I'm so excited for you guys! Carol in SLC Some of my stuff: http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/peace.jpg http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/elissa.jpg http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/oceansprite.jpg http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/jarvis.jpg |

When I went to live in Canada, it was supposed that because Canada was an
"English Colony", they were much more conservative and even a little backwards. But it was when I returned to the States that I encountered sexism, and conservatism.

It is to a Westerner. Medicine has been practiced there in that manner for

"Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... Snippity: Worse, and unfortunately not as uncommon as the above scenario; a gay couple has kids; one of the couple is the biological parent and the other is not. The non-biological parent cannot legally adopt the kids because the other biological parent is still around and involved. You can probably imagine what happens if the biological parent in the gay couple dies. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay I'm pretty much staying off this thread, but this made me wonder. Say a male couple decides they would very much like to have a child, or children. Would it be possible for a lab to take sperm from both, and mix the two samples, thersby not allowing any clear picture of exactly what sperm impregnated the donor egg? Sana a blood test being done after the birth, this could be a way to say the kid is biologically the spawn of both male parents. Or is my imagination in over drive? Just letting the mind drift on this one. -- ~Candace~ Orphan Beads ~low cost and bartering for the financially challenged beader~ http://snipurl.com/6s4t Princess Auctions ~please see for most current updates and auction information~ http://snipurl.com/8s8o |

They do make folding aluminum ramps for wheel chairs. Mostly used to get
into vans but might work well for a step or 2. I think 3 stepd would make it too steep. For anyone who is interested the standard is one foot per inch of height. If your porch is 24" off the ground you need a 24' ramp. This is the Fed.Gov't safety standard. |

I personally don't understand.....Why aren't more of us comfortable with this sort of discussion?
