Over achieving Amuputee

[Ranitak at aol.com]

i often tell people "my reality is different from yours".
they <tabs and some amps>  just don't get it..  and i'm fortunate in that i 
can walk.  but there are days when i live inthe wheelchair.
i went somewhere, and applaud them as the had a w/c accessible bathroom.  but 
when i got in there, they had a galss table blocking the entrance to the w/c 
stall.  how stupid is that?
anyway, you get the idea.
