I must agree Mark, that is my absolute pet peeve also. However, the ones that come up and tell me if I pray hard enough I will be able to overcome this really gall me. They don't understand their implication is that I obviously wasn't devout enough. How the hell do they know? Just my two cents. Please don't get into a religious "discussion." Quadius

Young people definitely think they're invincible but what I hate the most are the lucky ones that make a full recovery and preach that hard work can cure anyone and those of us that are still disabled are guilty of not trying.

It is weird how many look down or don't want much to do with the disabled. Funny though most of us used to be fit and able ourselves.I found that more and more people are becoming accepting and understanding, After a family member or some close friend becomes injured or disabled--then they can see with more impathy or understanding. Most people --especially younger crowd feel invincible and that nothing like THAT" will ever happen to them. Life sure taught me different, Life's complex trials can strike anyone at any given time, then we must fight, try to keep as best a possitive attitude and carry on as best we can.
