Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
For a long time, this cute little commercial would come on TV telling people where they could go for various health care needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-HXORRzxL4 It certainly caught my attention, and I thought, “who could possibly think of turning something as boring as health care options into a musical? but they’re smart.” But there was one …

So yesterday I had my first refusal by an Uber driver. I had a cart full of groceries and the fellow just kept saying no dog in car, and even tried once to tell me to put the dog in the trunk. Nope, no dog in trunk. He actually got quite hostile, and told me …

I got some pretty sad news yesterday. I never have met this man, but I know he’s been involved in the GDB family for years. I have written about the puppy truck before, when it had its accident and when they built a new one. Basically the puppy truck drives around dropping off puppies to …

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 …

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 …
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 …

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.
