Voting Question: Mom says I owe her rent but she and I don't have a job....?
My mom and I had a verbal battle today because she said I owe her money. I will be receiving Pell Grant refund money in 2 days. She's upset because I wouldn't give her money but I did agree to pay her back gas money she used to steer me to school for 2 weeks when my bike was stolen. I even agreed to pay for a water bill. So I did agree to pay her $120 but she wanted $250. This refund money isn't income to me. She never told me what I owe her unless I have some money from the school. I helped her out so much to the point I even signed up for student loans to help her....now I have to pay back $2,750 after I graduate. At first she said she'll help me find a car with the student loans but tricked me and used my debit card and took out money to use for rent. I thought I was doing the right thing... My mom is on section 8 so she pays almost little to zero for rent. She doesn't work and she does nothing but snooze and watch television. She also has a mental illness. But she still can steer and bath and eat...but she talks to herself a lot. I am a college student, I am trying to find work in this bad economy and I take care of my twin disable sister. My mom uses my sisters SSI check to pay for water bills/rent and her car payments...but mostly her car payments I am only 21 years old. I don't have income and my mom doesn't have income so is it right/legal for her to charge me rent? There was no rent agreement and my mom and I never communicate....try communicating with a mentally sick mom; its really tough.

Resolved Question: insects in rental house?
when our future landlord showed us the home we are now renting the tenants who were renting the home before us had just fogged the home for insects,but we figured in louisiana this was normal thing in louiaina.there was no signs of any insects and home was very clean so we rented home we signed the lease which said it was a four bedroom home it ended up being 3 bedrooms and a renovated garage. so our son started to move boxes to the home and we rented a truck on saturday. as we were unpacking which took a while because my husband and i are disabled. when opening the cupboards we saw roach traps. we didnt open cabinets before because previous tenants where still living in the home didnt want to invade their privacy. when we went to put things in kitchen and bath closets we saw roach traps in every cabinet. we spoke with landloard on the 5th of july we moved in on the 3rd. the landloard told my husband to try to treat on our possess then if not work she would clall someone . we have sprayed every week but the german roaches never cease even their babies are every over. we sent her a list of concerns she came and let herself in the home then said knock knock, she had attitude being mean and uglyshe refuses to accept the fact tha the a/c is not big enough fpr the home so it runs non cease.she argued this and told us the digital thermostats run diferent that if we wanted the temp to be 75 then put it on 70 which she must think we are stupid. and then told us the oher teants never said anything about roaches and she has never seen german roaches in slidell la. then said if we want she would give us a phone number of an exterminator if we would liked. we wanted but when first told her she said for us to try to take care of us and if couldnt receive rid of them she would call someone. so are we obligated to pay for exterminator or is she?we have another problem our 20 yr old son was cutting the gass with blade facing away from home.but a rock still came from the other side and broke the sliding glass door just one side. but landloard acted like their wasnt any insurance on the home.so she told us she would pay half of the door we had to replace. we found a door for $400 the landloard sain sounded flimsy so told us to receive a glass door with blinds with blinds in the glass, welll this one cost almost $800 and she said one of her handymen would install it, she told my husband said she said half on everything but when her worker put door in he told us we owed him $280. the landlord told my husband we could have had the door installed from home depot, for $300 from them she said well im saving you $20 . i just dont understand why we had to pay that much for door when sure she has insurance so ,does the law say we have to pay for the door?

Voting Question: i am a disabled tenant who moved out an apartment but my deposit wasnt returned?
my deposit wasn't returned ,2 months later i called the landlord, and she said i left a few clothes hangers and trash in the bath tub, i didn't receive an itemized bill nor did she follow the law in Tennessee to have me sign off on any damages she claimed i did, nor did she have pictures to prove the trash in the tub, she also charged me 100 dollars for new locks. 316 dollars total charged for new locks and trash in my tub, which makes no since i never kept trash in the tub, what can i do, the free legal services wouldn't help me unless it was 500 dollars or more

Resolved Question: Do I have a faulty gas meter?
I live in a one-bedroom apartment which has gas and electricity supplied courtesy of Southern Electric. Recently I recieved my gas bill which was an estimate (out by over 100 units according to my meter) for 260 quid. Apparently I have used 227 (estimated) since my last bill in December (I have actually used over 300 according to the meter). I find this to be extremely high. Basically, I have a combi-boiler which I use for hot water and for my central heating. Hot water is only really used for washing up. I don't have baths or showers at mine - I go elsewhere for that as I am disabled. The heating is on a timer which, on average, has the heating switched on on average 3 hours per day. I go out from 9am in the morning and usually don't receive home until 6pm so no need for any manual override. I have tried isolating the gas supply from outside and leaving it off for a few hours. When I came back I switched it back on - it made a hissing noise and a puff of gas came out - but digits hadn't moved. Today, I switched the boiler off for a few hours but left the gas supply on. Again, the digits hadn't moved. But when I came in I switched the heating on manual so the boiler would arrive on. The meter was shooting round like there was no tomorrow (I have 3 red digits at the end of my reading and the one at the end is shifting 8 units per every 10 seconds). I turned the heating off and went back down after it had calmed down and it was static with pilot light still on and the meter had calmed down. My question is why is my bill so high and is there any way of telling what the problem with the high consumption is?

Open Question: Could I consider a career with the UN?
I'm nearly 16 and I'm just coming towards the end of my GCSE year. I'm very different from other people my age, I think I know what to do with my life (nice of vaguely) and I really genuinely care about the world around me whereas most of my pal's lives revolve around Glee and 1 Direction! I want to DO something with my life and I've just started applying to sixth form college to study Philosophy, Medieval History, English Lit. and possibly Art as an AS level, and i've also applied also to United World Colleges. I'm pretty certain I want to study either philosophy or History at an Oxbridge college, or maybe Bristol or Bath but I don't know what to do after that career wise! But then I thought, if i want to make a positive change in the world, why not look into United Nations careers? I have looked at their website but their job descriptions are a bit vague and my parents don't have any advice on the matter. I plan on asking my career's advisor about it next week, but in the meantime, can you help me? I mean, what sort of jobs are there available other than translating or interpreting, which I'm not very interested in because languages aren't my strongest subject. Does the UN accept people with just one language? or would I have to study harder in my french classes? How much do UN workers generally receive paid? Are there any jobs available in the UK? I'm not opposed to living abroad. I have quite a broad extra curricular interest. I volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association, I'm a peer mentor, a prefect and head of a year 8 home group. I'm also a member of a creative writing group and i've interviewed the Radio 4 comedian John Finnemore and i've been asked to interview Patrick Ness for an educational resource. I have the skills required (I think!) and I'm very able to cope with work loads...so yeah, please could you answer my specific questions and provide me with some detail about the UN? Please no mean comments! Thank You :) P.S. a note about A levels, would a better combination be Biology, Art, English Lit. and Medieval History? where Biology replaces philosophy. Thank you again!! x

Resolved Question: My mom is disabled, cannot work, and depends on me.?
My single 48 year old mom has a chronic pain disorder and is on disability and is able to make her rent( the lowest we can find where we live for a 1 bedroom 1 bath). but as to her other necessary utilities she is always behind and getting them close off, and so as a result she depends on her 19 yr old and her 22 yr old daughters for financial help. I do not mind helping her every once and a while when something happens and needs some money, but it happens every two weeks with i need 300 dollars which is more than i make every two weeks at my part time job. My sister and i are both in school and supporting our possess weight and i cannot afford to help her this way when i move off campus and into my possess apartment. An impossible solution would be for her to receive a job, though the amount of money she receives from disability would be taken from her if she was to find a job at every because "she makes too much money". and finding a job would only make as much money as disability gives her now. Same with food stamps, apparently she makes too much money for that too. I am afraid that i will end up having her homeless or going weeks with no food and water, practically homeless with a roof because every her money would go to her rent with nothing left over. I cannot continue supporting her and myself this way, because when i have my possess rent to pay, i will no longer have anything to give her. Moving in with her would provide so little support financially because my paycheck still wouldn't cover every her needs and mine together. every i can think to do is have her move in with a family pal, if our pal is able at every or willing, or in with my boyfriend and myself when we receive an apartment. I adore my mom, but i cannot accept that i have to carry her weight around the relax of my life. What should i do? any other possible options?

Last night I slept for 6.5 hours and woke up in the morning, took a bath and studied, however I was still feeling very sleepy and so at 11am, went back to bed. I took an hours nap and at 1230, my dad woke me up for lunch. Throughout my snooze I felt uneasy. After waking up I felt very very sleepy and groggy and told my dad five minutes more. The sleepiness was coming in waves. I relented to the waves of snooze, and not remembering if my eyes were closed or not, I saw a bright bright white line or flash and heard and intense buzzing noise and before I knew it, I could not move my body and hands. The buzzing and light was screwing up my brain and I was worried it could Permanently damage and disable me so I coaxed my body to receive moving and with alot of effort, I jerked my body and could move again. The first time was unintentional but I intentionally tried it a second time. I was temporarily paralyzed. Does anyone one know what happened to me, can anyone help??

Resolved Question: How to Refinance someone elses property with POD?
My mom has become disabled due to an AVM eruption in her brain since April 2011. We've been living with her since last year. I cannot afford to pay her mortgage payments, I'm only paying the Condo Fee which is roughly $600 alone. I have gotten a Power of Attorney from my mom since she can write for now. I forwarded the POD to her Mortgage Lender so they can talk to me about refinancing options. Is there anything else I can do ?? I had remodeled her home while we've been staying with her. Brand new kitchen & Bath and would hate to let it go. She owes $30,000 more than the value on the condo which is about $150,000 now per her last yearly statement in January of this year. I am not sure what is worth now or if the value has arrive down more. I am clueless as to what to do now. I need some help. Has anyone been in the same situation or similar?

Resolved Question: I was told my rabbits back legs are paralyzed but now (2 weeks later) when I tickle her feet her toes move.?
Sadie is a 5 month old english lop. She's very spoiled! She always loved to run through the home jumping and and flipping through the air. It's sooooo cute. But 2 weeks ago she was doing this then suddenly she just stopped. She just layed against the wall and looked around. She didn't ,and still don't, show any signs of being in pain. We just thought she was resting. An hour later she crawled over to my husband to rub her head. He thought she was playing but then realized her couldn't move her back leg. We couldn't receive into the Vet until Monday. (This happened Saturday afternoon) When I took her in He said there was nothing we could do and that we should just put her down. Can you believe that!!!! Another vet said the same thing. She harmed her spine, she paralyzed and that's it. I started researching on the internet about how to care for a disabled rabbit. She still eats and drinks just like normal, and still doesn't show any signs of pain. Today (2 weeks later) I noticed,after I gave her her bath, that when I touched her foot it moved. I tickled her foot and she moved her toes. Now they don't move a whole lot but 2 weeks ago she couldn't move them at every or wouldn't them. Does this mean that maybe she will regain the use of her legs? I am in the process of having a wheelchair made for her right now. I saw some youtube. She also has just started physical therapy. Do you think that maybe with therapy and a seat she could regain at least some use of he legs. Also, could she hurt her front legs by dragging herself around like she does now. I keep her in a tiny area at night so she doesn't try to move around so much (so she receive hurt anymore). Then through the day, I'm home every the time, I bring her out into the living room. My home is every open so one matter what I'm doing through out the day I can look her and she can look me. She seems to like that. Why does it seem like the vets every just want to put down disable pets? I mean don't they realize that their not just pets their family members. You don't put down a family member! Now if she was in pain, suffering and I could not make it better then and ONLY then will I ever consider putting her down. I guess I'm just looking for wish that she will have use of her legs again. She's still my baby disabled or not. Another day has gone by. Sadie IS, I think, improving. She seems to like her bath. This morning after her bath her legs were shaking. I'm sure what this means but she also is moving her toes more so I'm gonna take this as a good sign. Right now she's laying here beside me eating her greens and also an apple (NO seeds). I saw somewhere on the internet that the seeds where poisonous. She loves her apples! shoot, she loves to eat. Now I'm worried she'll receive fat. I thought that if she's now as active she wouldn't want to eat as much but her appetite didn't seem to change much. I mean she's not eating constantly and not quite as much as before she lost use of her legs but still doing pretty well in the wanting to eat area. Maybe her 10-15 min. therapy sections are helping her keep her appetite. I've been doing therapy now for just a few days. The said to give her about 2 weeks to let the inflammation go down before starting therapy. No, she's not on any nice of medicines. W

Resolved Question: Do you think I could sue social services for failing to protect us against abuse as children?
I am 23 years old and from the age of 7 when my parents split I was violently abused by my family and by the age of 9 or 10 my mom was not feeding me properly and I had not had a bath for 2 years. My mom had just broken up with her boyfriend Mark as he had been sexually abusing my older Brother of five years. My Older Brother began beating me up and bullying me as he was often left to babysit me when my mom went to the pub. The trips to the pub were getting even longer and more frequent and my mom began disappearing for days. My Sister had moved out due to a battle with my mom where she had tried to set the home on flame and had smashed glass everywhere. When I was 8 I was diagnosed with Aspergers and I was referred to the disabled kids's department of social services. I didn't really have Aspergers. My mom made a whole list of things up so that she could gain attention and she even bought a book about Aspergers so that she could fabricate symptoms. I was also diagnosed with ADHD and put on Ritalin. My mom took some of the Ritalin herself and she was also going to the pub and partying every evening until tardy at night. I was appointed a community care worker who took me out on trips and I told her some of what was going on at home. I also explained some of these things to the psychologist. My Sister who was 8 years older would regularly beat me and was bullying me and made my life a misery. I was put on the child protection register, but my Brother who is 5 years younger strangely wasn't. I was sent to a day child psychiatric unit instead of school because it was reported that I was having a break down. I also told my auntie who persisted to ring child services. A case was pulled out against my mom but then promptly closed. It was obvious that I was dirty, scruffy, bruised and underfed as was my Brother. I was not attending school at the time as my mom took me out due to bullying. I had a home tutor 3 days a week usually for a few hours. This was when my mom would clean the home to make us look normal and she would even make me food when she was over. Her whole character would change. My mom had just broken up with her boyfriend Mark as he had been sexually abusing my older Brother of five years. My Older Brother began beating me up and bullying me as he was often left to babysit me when my mom went to the pub. The trips to the pub were getting even longer and more frequent and my mom began disappearing for days. My Sister had moved out due to a battle with my mom where she had tried to set the home on flame and had smashed glass everywhere. When I was 11 I began a special needs school. I remember once when my older Brother punched me and they took a photo of the bruise. They also wrote persistent letters to my mom about my head lice problem and constantly tried to receive rid of them. They were complaining that I would turn up dressed inappropriately and had no personal hygiene. The head of the department was mean and she told me that I looked like a slapper and she would hit other pupils. I even heard her bragging about how she pulled my hair once. When I was 14 I joined a dating website on the school computers and was going to meet up with a 22 old man because I wanted to run away from home. I told my community care worker and social services were told yet they only came round to my obviously now dirty, smelly home to lecture me and did not even question my mom. I am now 23 and I was recently told by a psychologist that I do not have Aspergers and that I have average to over average intelligence. Apparently I was wrongly diagnosed and my behaviour was effected by the way things were at home which in turn made me look disabled. I also recently found out that social services had some of my abuse on record but failed to do anything. Can I sue? I think that I deserve compensation and so does my younger Brother.

Resolved Question: The Forgotten Girl. Do you know her?
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-09/uonh-omm092211.php She had to go to school wearing last years shoes; tried to run the race, but her laces made her lose even though she as quite strong and swift- sometimes you've got to try to make lemonade from unripe limes. But that didn't sour her sweet disposition, she did her homework on the bus, helped mama in the kitchen, gave her newborn brother his bottle and then a bath, made her disabled three year-old sister giggle, cleaned up from their dinner of week-old beans and Spam, while her dad brought his grave closer by the gram, and her mom sat in the dark and silently cried. She knew nothing about personal goals and less about pride. She sometimes went to church on Sundays, listened to the spiel, because the pastor's wife would send her home with a good meal for her family, and give her clothing- the lady was praised for charity. True faith is just one more thing that doesn't arrive for free- the very needy give the more fortunate a place to assuage their guilt, laying the foundation upon which shame is built. Believe it or not, there is a way to change this for the better- I created this short tale about the 'one in four'- please, don't forget her. look, these answeres are my PEOPLE ya gotta adore 'em!

Resolved Question: how to add to my question of how to sue social services?
On 12/11/10 after police saw things on P.C. they called S.S. that is in different county to have granddaughter picked up. Social services refused police here could not understand why. 12/13/10 got order of protection to receive granddaughter around 7:00 p.m. police called said they finally brought her to home to go there to receive there when we arrived there police said a pal of theirs that work`s for social service would bring child to car. He was arrested before for having sex with a 6 and 9 year old boys below his care @ age 17- but violated hid probation 2 times once as adult had to do 2years register as sex offender 10 but judge gave him early release. Never said anything about suing for money. As stated CPS went on vacation for holidays told him not to have contact- yet there was a custody hearing before she returned- Report WAS NOT COMPLETE. CPS should have been in court to receive continuance till report was done- there suppose to protect her rights.9 hrs after child was returned as visitation states, they clam changing child and fresh blood was in dipper. Gave child bath took to ER saying it was sex abuse. Dr and police unable to say that sex abuse even happened. Still CPS said they would not return child till polygraphs are taken.Police say no charges or enough evidence of crime no testing. Test cost 600.00 to 900.00 CPS will not pay for test but refuses to let mom look child. If CPS wants these test when police say no they should have to pay for them. Or let mom look child.They knew when CPS lady was to return had got a "emergency" herring to receive custody so if report was not finished someone should have been there to to protect child till report could be done. CPS answer is they can put child in foster home because of that but I nor her mom want`s child in foster home with complete strangers that can damage child so she is better off with other grandmother till something can be done. As long as it is only hearsay and every other statement they made has not only been untrue but proven to police I should not have to pay for test- I am disabled- my daughter lives in lower 1/2 of home (6 bedroom house3 up 3 down) completely different entrances stairway has had door installed after child born for fear of child falling. If I pay 600.00 for a test will not have money for meds. or rent. There for as long as CPS will not return her till test they are only one`s who want it they should have to pay for it.Does law not state innocent till found guilty- or is that only for repeated sex offenders. Not only that but order of protection stated he must continue paying her rent/dippers /milk every bills. He not only refused to pay anything for mom and child but had living room furniture removed before court. Can you picture a 2 year old getting up to nothing to sit on. They said that there is 1 day a week and you go to look if you can or if a lawyer will take the case. In the order of protection my daughter had, it stated that if the order had any charges that was assault/sexual assault that the D.A. would handle her case tho it was not so. When court was held as to the custody court papers show she was not served. However his lawyer handed her a copy and the judge allowed to hear the case and his lawyer objected to everything she tried to enter.The judge ordered a herring for a Desolation of Mirage.yet they were only engaged and never presented either one as husband or wife or filed a joint income tax or had a bank account. So it should not be treated as a marriage, as I stated before that he claimed at court to have a DNA test from before birth, my daughter had a rough time before and after. Was on bed relax and there never was a DNA test. It would have taken the clerk to call and give # off test to verify it. He took a copy of a friends used white

Resolved Question: I No Longer Have A Security Company But Alarm Is Still Connected. What Is FC?
You've gotta adore those horrible times you go through. Meenan Security took our boiler that wasn't in good condition and broke it, trying to force us to purchase quickly and an over-priced boiler from their salesperson. We are stuck with no heat or hot water and have been since Wednesday. While boiling water for somewhat of a bath, the steam apparently hit the alarm. Although we no longer have an alarm system company, our alarm box is still connected. Apparently part of the way they've set it up, is your home phone disables....in my opinion that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It still happens despite the fact that we no longer give them business. While trying to plug in the code in a panic as it was about one a.m., I rushed and plugged in the wrong one. Now every I am seeing, although I've tried plugging in the correct one several times, is FC blinking. The home phone is not working. Does anyone know what "FC" means and how to fix this?

Resolved Question: what help should my grandad be getting from social services?
My grandad is 79, disabled, suffers from dementia, epilepsy and stage 3 cancer. My nan is his full time carer, she is 76, also disabled with chronic back problems. They live in their possess 2 bed semi, my nan wants to move to a bungalow but Grandad is refusing as he has lived their for 50 years and i agree that moving would be too much for him so they contacted social services to look if they could receive any help with getting home adjusted. My nan asked about if she could have a carer for some help a few hours a week but they said no, she also asked about a stair lift and shower but they also said no and fitted rails at either side of stairs. That was tardy last year and so far this year he has fallen down the stairs 4 times, my nan has also fell once! He falls nearly everyday getting out of the bath and has a catheter fitted which my Nan has to deal with alone. He is having his kidney out on Thursday and my Nan has called my crying as she does not know how she will cope when he comes out of hospital (they say he will be in for 5-7 days). I try to be there as much as i can and go at least once a day but this isn't enough and with work and tiny kids i don't have any extra time. They have no savings and low pensions but have both always worked full time so surely they are entitled to some sort of help?

Resolved Question: how can imprisoned/poor/disabled people have justice?
why is the world unfair? theres richborn people living in a mansion, buying anything they want on difficult cash, treating life as if its just a game, and theres people in africa, crawling for water, asking for help, i've also seen documentary where this skinny african kid was giving his little brother a bath because thats what every he can do, hes still a kid but hes like a family to his little brother. theres pretty people, people born looking like a model, but they grow up working for porn, selling their bodies to strangers, and there are people born disabled, trying to commit suicide because they're different, not normal, they feel envious, unfortunate to have that nice of body but, what do they do? they still persevere, stand up on their possess. theres people living with a glad family, healthy life, but sometimes they ignore the blessings that they had, instead they complain about life, about crisis, government.. and theres people with parents divorced, or people with no parents at every just a guardian, there's people who want to survive from cancer, innocent people getting their family killed or themselves killed/kidnapped.. but they are the ones who most likely would bring glad smiles in our faces, they're the ones who value life, help people.. why is the world like that? why do good people have to encounter those things, and bad people have more chances even if they really dont deserve it? just imagine an innocent child, getting killed getting hit by a truck and a teen with good education good life but ended up wanting to be a prostitute. its so unfair! why do you think the world is like this? why do god let it be that way? how can these needy people have justice?

Resolved Question: I'm tired of my aunt blaming everything on me..?
So, I'm physically disabled and require assistance doing some of the tasks that arrive with daily living, so my aunt works for me & helps me out. Though we pay her for 7 days a week, she only works 3 (not to mention what she does takes less than 2 hours, then she can leave every day.) Today she came over to do my hair & help me receive in the bath so I could take one. I asked if she could do my hair 1st, which she did. Then as I was getting ready to take a bath she just went off, and said she was leaving. Then she called my Mom and told her I was being resistant and didn't want to take a bath. every my aunt was doing was trying to go to the movies with her pal who was moving out of state. ._. I'm sleepy of crap like this. And my Mom always yells at me for it. What do I do?

I have major cramps in my vagina, anus, and belly.. The pain was so bad this time that I took 6 pain killers and got in a warm bath.. I almost drowned.. I woke up in the hospital.. The doctor said that there was nothing he could do for me.. Gave me a prescription for more painkillers and sent me home.. I was prescribed Naproxen.. Idk what it is, but it doesn't help at every.. I think that I may have Endometriosis.. I had a baby 2 years ago.. Should I still feel this pain.? Could I be experiencing pain like this because I didn't look a doctor after giving birth.?

Resolved Question: Is the VA indicative of the quality of care we would receive under govt sponsored healtcare?
My 56 yo brother is a disabled veteran. He has had gross pain for the last year in both the upper abdomen and hip area. He has been awfully sick on top of it - vomiting, unable to eat, he lost 50 pounds in the last 3 months. He has been to the doctor regularly - almost weekly - and been hospitalized a number of times in the last year and a half at the VA. When he was in the hospital they gave him enough meds to keep him somewhat comfortable. When they sent him home, he was subjected to terrible pain again. The VA told him he needed a hip replacement and had a tumor on his pancreas - pancreatic cancer, most likely. They stated the problem was that he has diabetes, his blood sugar not stabilized, and he is a smoker. His lungs, not good. He and his wife were told he was not healthy enough to undergo cancer treatment even if he had a biopsy, or surgery for the hip replacement, so they have been on a failing venture this last year to receive him healthy enough. The pain just kept getting worse and he saw the doctor again last week, who again sent him home. It has been so bad in the last six weeks that he could no longer stand, sit, bath, like any fraction of his life, but they again put him off. After his last appt, he ended up calling for an ambulance later that night, and asked to be taken to a nearby private hospital. There, he found out that his hip is actually broken and has been for quite some time - since before his last hospitalization. He does not have a tumor on his pancreas. He has a gallstone that has outgrown his necrotic gallbladder and caused a full body infection. He, also, had pneumonia. He was immediately put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Their plan is to receive his pneumonia below control, take out his gallbladder and then, do a hip replacement before sending him home again. Immediately, they did not know if he would even make it. Why did the VA tell him he had a tumor on his pancreas? Why didn't they recognize his hip was broken? Did they simply wish he would die and go away? Did they run any tests at every? I am totally outraged! What a nightmare my needy brother has been through. I just thank God that he had a moment of lucidity wherein he asked to be taken to a private hospital. Is the truth that an individual human life has no value anymore? My possess gallbladder was allowed to erupt ten years ago, 3 months into being off work on disability bc I had problems with my union non-existent health insurance (I paid for it monthly, they just forgot to buy it) and I was similarly very sick and have never been truly healthy since. I don't understand this 'managed' suffering. Would this be par for the course below Obamacare? I have a sincere concern here on behalf of every of us. What is the solution to our healthcare problems? I do not understand why any time the truth is pointed out to certain ppl they call bs. You have been very lucky is every I can say. I understand what happened to me bc I had no insurance, made so much - even on state dis - that I did not qualify for state medical, though they should have known that i would take care of it when well - I ended up having to receive the State Health Commissioner to make the union pay my bills. The powers that be at our local PPO would not willingly incur the cost of surgery and so, I was allowed to reach a critical state. But thing with my brother is inexcusable and so outrageous as to be unbelievable. I think it happened bc he also happens to be mentally sick and they truly do not value him no matter how much his family does.

Voting Question: I don't know if I'm marrying the right person...?
I'm in my 20's, I've been with my fiance for 6 years and we have a son who is almost 3. He is honestly the BEST dad I've ever seen! He's actually the one who taught me everything about babies before our son was born haha. A few of my friends have babies and it's mind-blowing to me how their husbands don't do much with their possess baby. Everything is 50/50 with us. If I do the dishes, he does the laundry. He'll give our son a bath and brush his teeth, I'll read him a bedtime story and put him to bed. I'll clean the bathroom while he cleans the kitchen. My fiance is a very sweet man. Physically, he's HUGE..but he wouldn't hurt a fly. Sometimes he's too nice and others take advantage of him. He practically worships me...he's always telling me how beautiful I am and how lucky he is. I receive nightly foot and back massages, if I'm exhausted he'll sometimes let me snooze in while he wakes up with our son etc. He treats me like a queen! What more could I want, right? He's of a different culture and there are many things about their culture that are just so weird to me. He's always giving his family money (even though we're broke college students) and his family knows his paydays so they'll like wait for him outside of work just to ask for money. And it's not anyone he's close to...these people only go to him when they need something. And my fiance doesn't know how to say no so he'll give them what they want. His mom is very demanding and she was a problem from the beginning. We can't go an hour in this home without her calling...if we don't answer she will call until we do. It's not uncommon for us to wake up from a nap or something and look on his phone "17 missed calls-mom". But now she actually has a better reason....she became disabled. She was in the hospital for 8 months and almost lost her life many times (diabetes related issues.) Now she can never talk or eat again (only through a tube) and can't barely even walk. She can't afford home healthcare, so my husband is always there taking care of her...which I respect, but his mom lives with her sister and brother-in-law..why can't they help her sometimes?? Seriously, she makes my son do every single thing...she can't ask her sister who is living with her? We live 15 min away, we have a tiny child and my fiance works a lot too. He also has 2 brothers- ages 8 and 12. We took care of them the whole time their mom was in the hospital and we're still with them a lot. They're very disrespectful to me though. and the 8-year-old craps his pants almost everyday...even when he was in school the nure would call and tell us to bring him extra pants....disgusting! And he'll do it and not even tell anyone....just sit in his possess crap until we find out. AHHHHH it infuriates me! Their dad died 7 years ago and I really don't think their mom will live much longer...so we're going to be their guardians. I'm not really complaining about that stuff...I respect my fiance because he loves his family so much and he's a great son/brother to them. But it does put stress on our relationship because he's not home very much. Even before every that happened.....I was feeling bored in the relationship. He doesn't make me giggle..EVER. He's a very boring person. He's awkward in social situations. I don't like sex with him, but he wants it every time time. And I hate the way he's so careless with money. I could go on and on but I've already written too much! If we didn't have a kid together I would not marry him. But I want to marry because of our son. I think if we got married it would be best for our son, my brother-in-laws and my fiance. My fiance has said that if we ever broke up he would want to kill himself and based on his past..I really don't think he would find someone else until loooong down the road. I would definitely worry about him and his brothers if we broke up. But then again, he's so good to me and loves me and our son with everything in him! Are there too many negatives in this realtionship for it to work?

Resolved Question: council not giving permission to put a bath in?
hi, me and my partner moved into a council home a year ago. we have a 22 month old daughter, and im pregnant with our second child. the home does not have a bath, only a walk in shower. we accepted the home because its in a wonderful area with great neighbours. we have asked the council if we could have permission to put a bath in ourselves, as we can not keep bathing our daughter in a baby bath, and she is scared of the shower. They of course said no, as the home registered for any disabled person. the home has no wheelchair access or anything like that, only the walk in shower. can anybody give me some advice of what i could do. thanks

Resolved Question: cant trust him, what do u think?
my husband has always said he does not like porn. I used to not trust him at every and for years we would argue over it. In the end, I got therapy and the therapist told me to trust him because not every men like porn. My sister (also a therapist) said although it is difficult to believe, not every men like porn! So I began to trust him. A few issues arose which f*cked up my trust. 1) I found he'd tried to look at porn on his mobile, googling it. His mobile operator bars adult content so he didn't look any. When I questioned him about it, he refused to discuss it but eventually admitted that he was insecure over his penis size and ability in bed, so had tried to look at it to reassure himself and receive tips. He hadn't told me at the time because we were fighting. I tried to believe him, but I found tissue from him masturbating in the bin. He said he did it thinking of me, not over porn, and I believe that because like I said he couldn't look porn on his phone. But it made me feel like he used photos of me as a last resort because he couldn't receive porn, and that he would have used porn if he could. 2) He was on the computer one night, I was in the bath. I came downstairs and noticed a porn film downloading. When I confronted him, he said he didn't know it was porn. He was downloading other films and thought it was a movie. 2) He changed the password to the porn channels on the tv. He had no computer access at the time so I assumed it was to watch porn. He told me he'd noticed the password in the settings menu, hadn't even been on a porn channel. He told me it was partly to make the argument worthwhile (as we were arguing over something silly) and partly to prove I don't trust him and would check up on him (he was right). About 6 months later the subject came up and he tried to change his story a little. He said he'd channel hopped to the porn channels, noticed the password and changed it then. Thing is, I disabled the porn channels from coming up when you channel hop. So he got mad at me, told me I was trying to catch him out, and then told me he probably did it from the settings (his first story). He does have an appalling memory, literally ridiculously bad, so I trusted him. 3) He went on the pc for a few hours to design t-shirts for me as a surprise. The next day I found flash cookies from a porn site. He denied it, and said it must have been a popup or something from an innocent site, maybe a torrent site etc. when he was looking for t-shirt designs. every along I have tried to trust him and he has gone mad at me for doubting him. He has been really horrible and ended the marriage at times (albeit for a day or so). He has told me how much it hurts him I don't trust him etc. He gets REALLY mad with me. I can understand why he gets mad as I accused him for 3-4 years. But I started to trust him and it was only after the birth of our first child in 2009 that things got bad. I had Post Natal Depression which manifested as anxiety, and so I doubted everything he said and did and was convinced he was cheating/porn. Now my PND is almost gone. But last night he was on the computer alone for 40 mins and I am paranoid he looked at porn, because he knew I was busy on the phone and wouldn't arrive upstairs. You might think porn is ok but I do not. And my husband has always known this. So if I found out that he had been lying to me for 6 years, it would be the biggest betrayal. In addition, the way he has treated me, ending the marriage etc. when I have accused him - if I have been right every along, that's sick. I just don't know if I should trust him - am I being stupid to believe his excuses? My therapist says he has explained himself and I should trust him. My best pal says the same. But I just can't seem to. I have the right to be with someone who does not lie to me or go behind my back. He had the choice right from the start to be honest. I have offered to watch it with him, I have begged him to be honest and he still insists he does not like porn and it does not turn him on. So he has no excuse for lying and treating me this way. I just can't receive it out of my head that he had 40 mins opportunity to look at porn and might have done so. I feel like I am being lied to and he is laughing behind my back. We have sex at least 5 times a week - I'd like it more but he has quite a low sex steer so 5 is more than enough for him. So nothing wrong with our sex life. Also - I might add, he says he does not masturbate and that the time I found out about was the only time. I didn't believe him but he says even when he was young he didn't do it often, and hasnt done it since he met his first gf. (Tbh his 2nd gf was about 4 weeks after the 1st left him, and I was 6 weeks after the 2nd left him, so it's not like he went for months without it). He said he tried porn a few times when he was younger but didn't like it an

Resolved Question: How can I help a cat that ate clumping kitty litter if you're unable to get medical attention?
A few days ago I noticed my 2 yr old cat (male) acting silly as far as his eating, drinking, & bathroom habits. Two days ago, I found some kitty litter vomited up in my bath tub. every in the mean time, he was attempting cough up, what I thought were hairballs, more & more frequently...today he added rapid sneezing. He really has no interest in food at this point, but he seemed to like a belly rub today. (WEIRD!) During his rub I felt a difficult peanut sized knot in his belly. I'm a disabled Gulf Veteran & a single mom with too much month at the end of the money! It would DEVASTATE my special needs son to put our furry family member to snooze. What can I do to help my cat pass, or bring up the litter so he can be ok again? PLEASE HELP I have like less than $20 for the relax of the month *tears* I can't go to the Vet, or I would've been there already. If anyone knows of a one that will donate services or allow me to pay monthly...it would be the world a little boy. I'm in Fremont Ca

Resolved Question: I'm so stressed and I need help!?
Hi, I'm called Rachael and I'm 17. Lately, my life has been extremely stressful and I cannot handle my feelings, and I have no way of letting it every out.
I'll explain.
It started eight months ago.
I moved out of my parents home because I was falling behind on college work I couldn't do and it was causing problems between my ste-dad and I. He's raised me since I was 3 and always expected high of me. When I didn't reach high enough, we started arguing, so I moved in with my sister and Nana.
Now, when my nana developed Alzhiemers and Dementia, my sister and I took the responsibility to look after her.
It was good for while, not too difficult.
But then as the months passed, it's been one problem after another.
Nana was getting sick, my sister was getting sick or annoyed.
There was always a hospital trip through the night.
snooze has become almost unheard of.
We go to bed about 11 o clock.
Lately, my nana keeps waking up through the night with incontenence.
I KNOW IT'S NOT HER FAULT.
Anway, now a days I need to receive up and change her between 3 and 8 times a night.
To top it off, I'm the ONLY one who gets up with her. My sister just stays in bed and let's me do it.
Due to her Dementia, my nana keeps on looking at me with disgust and calling me names etc. What bugs me is my family think it's hilarious because it's me she's been mean to, and constantly giggle, which makes her think it's every right and she keeps doing it.
I know this one sounds stupid, but everyone is taking advantage of me. Like if everyone comes in, I need to make six cups of tea/coffee, or I'm lazy and do nothing! I know it's just a cuppa, but 6 at a time several times a day gets annoying, and it's always too sweet, or too icy or not enough in the cup.
If I tidy up thought the night and it's spotless and it's gets a little bit messy, I've done nothing and the home is ALWAYS a tip...
Adding to the lack of snooze, my sister agrees to babysit our 3 nieces, so they receive dropped of at 6 in the morning. My sister, who agreed, stays asleep while I deal with them! Oh, but SHE'S always looking after them apparently. On top of that, I need to help my cousin, who's disabled. Just to dry his legs and back etc after his bath and help put his socks on.
So, to simplify it.
I help take nana, but I always receive up through the night, every night.
At 6 o clock in the morning about 4 times a week, I need to look after my 3 nieces. Two of which are toddlers and are BIG trouble if they want to be.
I do do tidying, and do a good job IF i'm left alone to do it.
I make alot of cups of tea during the day.
BUT, the way everyone else makes it out to be is;
I was a failure at college.
It's not nanas fault she's in hospital and I have no right complaining.
You only need so much snooze a night.
I never tidy up.
My nieces need patients and my sister NEEDS snooze...hmm. thought you only needed so much snooze?
It is silly when nana calls me names.
What's so difficult about making a cuppa?
I know it doesn't sound like much, and I'm sorry to be bitching on, but I can't handle every of this at once.
But lately I've just been so stressed about everything and FURIOUS at every little annoyance.
I mean, how can anyone complain when my mom and aunty are getting paid to do the work I'm doing? Then they complain that I don't put anything into the home...yeah, cos they have the money I earn to support THEIR houses!

Resolved Question: How do I care for my disabled boyfriend?
Me and My bf have been together for 2 years and I've helped him cathe, and I put him to bed and that's easy but what I haven't learn yet is how to receive him a bath. He's a paraplegic . Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also we want to live together soon, so I need to learn everything I can.

Resolved Question: My wife and I rarely have sex! What do I do?
My wife and I have been together nearly 6 years and married for nearly 1. We are looking at having another child but since the birth of our first child (who is now 3) her sex steer is nearly non-existent. I adore my wife dearly but the serious lack of sex and physical intimacy is really starting to hurt me and it is getting to the point where I am starting to resent her. My wife is physically disabled and I have been her full-time carer for around 3 years, I am devoted to my wife and would do anything to make her glad. I have tried talking to her about our sex life (or lack of) but I never receive any results. She either gets really upset, mad or tries to avoid talking to me about it. I have told her (and it is true) that it’s not just that I want 'sex' with her but rather that I miss the physical intimacy that we once shared but the reaction I received was that I was lying and every I want is a quick shag!! This is not true, for me it is a chance to be really close to the one I adore, physically and emotionally. I know that it is not going to be the same as when we first met, I’m not asking for that but at the moment we can go 4-9 weeks without any serious act of intimacy or sexual contact. I think I am quite a good husband; I do more than my fair share around the home and with our daughter. I know I could probably do more and I do try, I don’t like my wife to do a lot because of her disability but she likes to have her independence. I have tried to be romantic (rose petals leading to the bedroom, around and on the bed, soft romantic music playing etc...)and on occasion she has responded but I have felt like she is only doing this because she doesn’t have the heart to let me down. For her birthday I booked a very posh, extravagant and expensive weekend away at a spa where she received the best treatment and experience. I spent this time on my possess in the hotel room (couldn’t afford to pay for us both for the treatment) when she came back up to the room we sat up for a bit talking about her day and how much she enjoyed it and how grateful and how much she loved me for doing this for her then she lay down and fell straight to snooze. I put this down to being so relaxed and sleepy. The relax of the trip she seemed to try and avoid intimacy with me (wasn’t interested in taking a bath together etc. . .) rather she wanted a quick bath, receive dressed and go out. She tells me now she really regrets not doing anything and feels really bad but does nothing about it. I have tried making suggestions, in the bedroom or speaking to someone who can help but she doesn’t seem interested. Sorry this is getting really long now when we decided to try for another child we were both over the moon but later I made it clear that I would like our sex life to improve in some way because I do not want it just to be every about the fact that we will be trying for a baby, that was January/February it is now July and absolutely nothing has changed. If anyone out there can help please do, I need to know how to bring this to my wife’s attention in a constructive manner which won’t hurt her but in a way that she will understand my feelings and needs. Again sorry this is so long but any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Resolved Question: Who gets sued, and How?
In Chicago, Illinois there is a legitimate needy disabled lady with a teen aged daughter live on a Government Voucher (formally known as Section 8). Her Land Lord loses her buildings in foreclosure. The City fined the building for several violations. No ones name is currently on the building title except the City who placed a lean in the building due to fines. The Chicago Housing Authority (Section 8 Housing Voucher) had also abated the Lady Ladies rent due to slum conditions. The Slum conditions, included black mold eroding through the walls. Faulty and condemned (by the City) back porch the tenant could not use because the City banned her access because it was unsafe (she lived on the second floor). She had to walk around the block just to through out the trash because her backyard was not available to her. Dimpled ceilings that showed where it will eventually cave in. No use of her bath tub because the pipes were broke inside the walls. Most of her outlets didn't work. She ended up in ICU twice due to breathing issues because of the mold. He daughter was rendered homeless because she was asthmatic and couldn't stay there, so her education suffered as well, Then her daughter ended up pregnant due to lack of her moms supervision. Her mom was stuck at the building, and the daughter may have found alternative ways to survive. The Tenant did receive moving papers once, but couldn't find a voucher taker until the last week it expired. Housing refused to go look the apartment, then denied her an extension according to their possess policies in the case of foreclosures they might extend, so she had to battle to receive them back. Months later she got them back, and found a place, but has to wait some more for the inspection department to inspect the place. She was forced to live in squalor for over a year, because they are told they have to remain in their units until a new place is accepted. Housing knew of her conditions at the building, Her health conditions, and her 15 year old daughters health and homelessness. The City of Chicago was also aware of it, since they condemned the building and knew people were living there. Can anything be done about this in some civil court? If so, how do I find an Illinois Lawyer brave enough to file this nice of suite? Most I know won't battle the government. Folks please read this correctly. 1) The lady is needy. Poorer then usual. Which means she can't pay an attorney retention. 2) This IS a private Building with a PRIVATE owner, NOT a corporation. The Land Lady used to receive a Private check from HUD for the rent for this individual. The CITY OF CHICAGO, who has a LIEN on the building due to safety building code violation, is the ONLY name listed on this building. NO ONE ELSE IS ON THAT DEED. This has been verified. 3) If anyone knows anything about the policies of Section 8, they know that she can't just up and move, she would lose her voucher, so it's a ludicrous response to say she didn't move out. Furthermore, I said she is needy. So it's not like she had enough money to move even if she could. In response to her being greedy, this lady is not greedy, and I think that was a callas and lame response. She don't look for handouts. She has tried for years to arrive out of her situation FYI. You don't know her like I do. 4) The lady is sick because the current apartment made her sick, this is documented. She is otherwise fairly healthy for what she has, and to giggle at someone being sick is pretty pathetic, why even answer, your not being helpful at every, just degrading. But maybe you feel special for doing that.

Resolved Question: taking care of a mentally ill parent?
I am at my wits end about how to care for my 68 year old dad. He never showers, says he takes a sponge bath in the sink, he changes his clothes (including underwear) once a week and sees nothing wrong with it. Most of his time is spent napping or watching tv and while if highly motivated he will fix himself a sandwich, there have been days I was running errands and came home at 2 or 3 pm to find he hadn't eaten every day. We are a social security family, none of us are employed, and while the absence of his check would be a financial burden, I think it would be worth it for him to find the help he needs that I can't give him. He is still of sound mind so I can't declare him incompetent. He is bipolar 1 but is pretty compliant with meds for the most part, but I don't think he always takes them. I am raising an autistic child, running a household, caring for a mentally disabled brother, and at some point I want out to have the freedom to date, marry, and live my possess life. What services might we qualify for and how do I proceed. I don't want to kick him out or anything but if he can't help himself more, I might not have a choice, especially if somehow I am help liable by adult protective services for his behavior. He only makes about $860 from social security which in no way would cover an assisted care facility. He doesn't even look a psychiatrist, his primary doctor writes his prescriptions, and he isn't in therapy either. I have tried talking to him about being a part of the family and not shutting us out but he doesn't receive it. As long as his basic needs are met and he has his meals regularly and the TV he doesn't really care what goes on around him, what struggles we face, etc. He blocks everything out and always leaves it to someone else, usually me, to figure it out. I am at my wits end. Please some advice? don't worry, I can't ever have kids biologically. My child is my niece that I have raised from birth as her bipolar drug addicted mom is unfit to do so. I had cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. Yes our genes are bad and I also believe enviromental factors play a part. I have depression that I didnt have before being placed in this role of caring for everyone. Thank you for your opinion. dad - bipolar 1 sister - bipolar 2 other sister - was on paxil for depression and anxiety but is stable on no meds living a good life brother - borderline retarded, depression, ocd, anger issues niece - adhd, moderate autism mom (deceased) cancer, heart disease, depression, generalized anxiety disorder. Died at the age of 66 ME - Depression, generalized anxiety disorder (taking medication and feel about 75% better aka enough to function) 2 bouts with cancer, arrested development (mom treated me as a child until she got sick and I grew about 15 years in 2 years and feel quite mature and capable now - chronological age 31) Other niece (half sister to the one I am raising) ADHD, social problems with peers, could be undiagnosed mild asperger syndrome) So I look where you are coming from. God did me a favor I guess, not that I am in a relationship or anything and might not have had biological kids anyway. bipolar 2 sister is also a prescription drug addict and stole medication from me so is no longer allowed in the home.

Resolved Question: How to plan on moving out? any websites, or ways to help with how much it's really going to cost?
I'm moving out of my parents home into a place I almost built from the ground up. I possess it and the land so no rent, just a few taxes each year. It's 3 bedroom, 2 bath so I am having two friends move in with me. I only have a part time job because I'm also going to college at the moment so I could use the help in paying. We already have plans on who's doing what (cleaning,etc) and who's paying what. But I was wondering if there is any way to plan even better? I do not know how much the Electric bill will be and can't seem to find any way of finding out until we move in for the first month. Also, Moving out of my parents home - my dad will lose some money that he gets from Food Stamps, etc (he's disabled and can't work). I was wondering what would be the best thing to do - Could I legelly just "live" with my parents on paper and just stay at the home? I just need a good point the right way to finding every this out. I don't want to be caught off guard by high bills and being screwed over ( I still got 2 years of college afterall!)

Voting Question: Help! My ferret has lost a lot of weight!?
I have two ferrets, and when I moved to Florida in tardy 2009 (They were born in 2008) they were plump and healthy. But today when I checked on them, to my shock, they were extremely skinny! TOO SKINNY! They're eating, they're drinking, they're so playful and seem perfectly okay, just.. Skinny every of a sudden! They didn't feel this way before the weekend, so I'm horrified. I might be able to afford nor receive to a vet (I'm disabled and don't have transportation or money most of the time) so is there any ferret experts out there that might know what might have happened? Are they sick? Is it from the heat? Or their diet maybe? I only bath them every few months, could this be the issue? The faster the answer, the better, I'm very worried. Much appreciated and thanks in advanced! I wish I could take them to the vet. The problem is like I explained, money and transportation issues. I'm not even sure the vet within walking distance would even look at my ferrets since they are just a local dog/cat shelter.

Resolved Question: Council housing and re-housing after disability?
My family, whom I've lived with for many years, have decided to move down the road a bit (about 80 miles) I'm a bit stuck. Do I have to go with them or can I stay and be housed by the local council? I am slightly disabled (only got one leg) so would need a bath. I have little to no income (just started work again) and have grown close to the local area and know every the areas of the support base here. It would be difficult work for me to up roots and go again, and I think that seeing how I'm 19 I can clip free. Any help greatly appreciated.

Resolved Question: Bearded Dragon acting "different"?
We just got a Beardie for our Son, and she is disabled. She is missing her back Foot and 1 claw in the front. When we looked at her she was'nt holding herself like our older one, but we thought since she is not perfect our son will still adore her. This morning after my Son turned her lights on and wanted to feed her, he came upstairs and stating that she doesnt open her eyes. We gave her a warm bath and he held her a little, shortly after she begun to open her eyes and we decided to put her back in her proper enviroment with the warmth etc. Then i was watching her after we gave her food and i saw that she is having trouble hunting with her tongue, she was super interested in the cricket , so i picked the cricket up and pretty much stuck it in her mouth and she began chewing, but it looked like that she was only chewing with one side of her jaw. After the cricket i wet the romaine salad with water and offered it to her and she open her mouth and i stuck it in and she , what it looked to me "tried" to chew. Her saliva seems bubbly and thick. We live 60 miles out in the sticks, and a vet will be in town tomorrow, what can i do NOW to make sure sick receive her going until tomorrow ?

Resolved Question: A Good LOW energy & QUIET dog breed for a disabled person with pets?
I am interesting in getting a companion dog. I have a muscular disease, so although I can walk and perform normal tasks, I have low energy and live a sedentary lifestyle. I live alone but have two cats and a home rabbit. Here's what I am looking for in a dog: low energy, sofa potato type, very affectionate, MUST be pet friendly, mellow. I don't want a "yapper", I'd prefer a silent dog. The smaller the better, I really need a tiny dog that I am able to lift for baths, or emergencies where I may need to pick it up. I do NOT want a guard dog, I'd like a mellow friendly dog who is friendly with pets and strangers. I'd also like a dog that doesn't require a ton of grooming. I am able to bring the dog for walks, mild play in the yard, etc., but really need a low energy, mellow tiny dog. Suggestions? To the person who said it sounds like I can't handle a dog, that's absurd. I've been a dog owner in the past (had a mixed breed who past away after 13 years of a very glad life), and plenty of disabled people having loving healthy relationships with dogs. Just because I'm not high energy doesn't mean I can't have a wonderful companionship with a dog.
