It gets even funnier folks: Toronto man robs bank after strapping explosives to wheelchair

The very first wheelchair found in recorded history
How far back in history does the wheelchair go? Also, rich (and lazy) royals were some of the first to ride around in “rolling chairs.” Guess who gets the prize for the laziest royal of them all? All will be revealed on my Disaboom blog right here. – Tiff

Is it messed up if a rock star dates an amputee?
They may be divorced now, but one of the wealthiest rock stars on the planet – Sir Paul McCartney – picked a one-legged woman to marry out of all the other perfect women in the world. Is this a sign of insanity? Read my blog on this unlikely pairing here – Tiffiny, the fashionista paralyzed blogger (bio)

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.

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).

And here’s how I school these kids RIGHT (my full Disaboom blog)…. – 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
