Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I notice that the next village/town is hosting and feting North Dakota...they LAID ON EVERYTHING, including a funfair!! It's a tiny town in a farming community... But the big fun happened in Dublin. Friend of mine is a young wheelchair user...he also like to EAT...during the week he visited his Doctor to be told that if he gains only a few more pounds he will be in the " morbidly obese " range... So there he is, sitting outside his Doctor's surgery,waiting for a lift, chainsmoking, bearing (upon his own admisson) a remarkable resemblence to " Jabba the Hut " when three elderly ladies descend upon him on the assumption that he is involved in the special Olympics... We are still trying to work out which event they supposed he was involved in...pie eating? *chuckles* He reckons that it just goes to prove people only see the chair, and SOMETIMES that can cut both ways...apparently, for a couple of weeks in Dublin, all you have to do is sit in a chair to be perceived as a greek god on wheels...I hasten to add that he really does NOT have a problem with this misconception.
