This is good news. Let’s hope it keeps spreading. I always feel a little guilty taking Uber knowing that there’s no way for someone in a wheelchair to take it. I know it could be tricky to pull off with Uber’s model but I always hoped there’d be a way. Now, Uber WAV is a …

iWanted An iTurd
Ok, it’s official. My experience with the captain has truly warped my brain. I saw this satirical piece designed to make fun of the ridiculous products people will buy, and a small part of me went “Hmmm! I could have used that!” Let’s just say that at the beginning of my saga, I was pretty …
Loving This Story About Loving Lani
Someone shared this sweet post about someone’s guide dog whose career ended way too soon, and it gave me a little scare. LaniJo, that crazy dog, sounds a lot like the Shmans, who is snoring here beside me. I would have to ask Steve, does she sound a little crazier than Shmans, even? But the …
Lumosity Isn’t Looking So Glowing Right Now
When I first saw those Lumosity commercials on TV, there was something about them that struck me as wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Steve would laugh at me because I would see a Lumosity commercial and immediately start picking it apart. Just look at
Day Of The Duh
I never thought I’d write a great big post about ISIS-related things, but here it goes. I don’t even quite know where it’s going to go until it’s written. I’ve just had a simmering thought soup on this topic, and every now and then it bubbles up and throws a thought to the surface. Ever …
A Confusing But Funny Breakdown Of The Syrian Crisis
I saw this hilariously, erm, simplified? version of the Syrian conflict on Facebook and couldn’t stop chuckling. President Assad (who is bad) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the rebels (who are good) started winning. But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called …

Some Helpful Tips From A Deafblind Person
I saw this article called ten things deafblind people want you to know and most of them are things we’ve talked about in the good old blind guy user manual, like don’t grab our dogs/canes, stop moving stuff around, and don’t patronize us or say we’re inspiring if we’re just existing, stuff like that. But …

Let Me Introduce You To The Captain!
I’m just going to tell you right now, that throughout this post, I’m going to sprinkle songs, starting with this one. It’s time to name Captain Nameless Illness, and no his name’s not Kidd, but that was the first song with a captain’s name I could think of. It has taken me a long time …
Thanks from Tansy to Trixie
One thing I neglected to talk about in the latest holiday wrap-up was the fact that Tansy inherited a couple of gifts I gave to Trix that she didn’t care for. She got the neat-looking squeaky duck, andthe much-sought-after Skineeez raccoon that Tans stole from Trix over and over again. Today was kind of a …
Goodbye 2015, You Mixed Bag Of Wackiness!
So yeah. There’s only 2 whole days left in this whirlwind of a year that is 2015. How in the sweet merciful hell did that happen? I feel like I’ve been running on what I thought was a treadmill, but now I realize that it was one of those moving sidewalks in the airport and …
