Using a wheelchair: The ultimate people-filter
You’d think using a wheelchair would totally suck when it comes to the always tricky endeavor of making new friends. And I used to think this way too. But then, not so long ago, I came to the exciting realization that my wheelchair acts as the ultimate people filter… And the rest – Tiff

Leg warmers, and their “magical” medical properties
I’m always a sucker for gifts, so Garvey Rich over at Functional Comfort must be psychic. You see, as a blogger (if you’re semi-popular or moreso), there’s this bad ass phenomenon of receiving free things in the mail from companies, with an end goal (on their part) that I’ll blog about their said product in a positive light. Free advertising yo. So when I received 4 pairs of leg warmers and 2 pairs of arm warmers in the mail from the people at Function Comfort, I must say I felt I’ve moved up in the eschelon of blogger-dom. This is the first time a company has ever sent me free…

No, I don’t sleep in my wheelchair
Do you sleep in your wheelchair? How do you shower? How do you go up stairs? These are just a few of the innocent questions kids have thrown my way. It’s funny. Kids sometimes think that my wheelchair is magically grafted to my ass. And even more amusing, they think that if I leave my wheelchair, I’ll poof (!)…spontaneously combust (or worse). I can survive without my wheelchair thank you very much. Yes, it would suck, but my body doesn’t require a “chair with wheels” to continue cellular regeneration. And here’s how I school these kids RIGHT (my full Disaboom blog)…. – Tiff

Anyone who says this is a blatant fearmongerer. Click here to read the rest of my blog entry, in my attempt to educate a misinformed public – Tiff

Daily makeup tip
When it comes to mascara, it’s all about the wand/brush, not the actual makeup. So be sure to note the wand before purchasing. This is why I love Maybelline Great Lash. It’s cheap as hell, the makeup is nothing spectacular, BUT THE WAND, oh, the magical wand…it does amazing things to my lashes. Look for wands with very defined brushes (these ones will separate your lashes more, which in the process will make them appear longer). – Tiff

Does this wheelchair make my ass look fat?
How can the beautiful young women of the world – who happen to have disabilities – overcome the common stereotype that we’re not as great as someone who‘s completely healthy? How can we prove to the world that the men and women we date shouldn’t be ashamed to love us openly? To be with us without fear of what their family or friends may say?

Wha? Some actually wish to be have an amputation
I’m always endlessly amused by the wack-job psychosis that humans can sometimes develop. Acrotomophilia – the desire to be an amputee – has to be one of the weirdest ones out there. These individuals strongly believe they were destined to be an amputee, and won’t feel complete/whole until an amputation of one of their limbs (usually a leg, beneath the knee) takes place.
