From research and owner of Disabilitydates.com it is clear to me that the internet have made dating with a Disability easier,that been said there is questions or issues that can arise when dating online.



The main question that people think about is “How do I tell someone that I have a disability”?

Do they date on disabled-only Websites like Disabilitydates? Do they mention their disability in their personal ads?Choosing whom to tell or not tell is a personal choice. I believe the best approach is to trust your instinct, not your fears. I know several online daters with some type of physical disability or medical condition, and some of them choose to reveal their disability in their profiles and others don’t.



Be clear in your mind of what kind of relationship you are looking for,if indeed you are looking for a long term relationship they are certain facts that you should never withhold from your potential dates.

Let them know what kind of care you need because you are both looking for something that may result in a life long commitment. So holding such information may not benefit you in the long run. You will not only be wasting their time but you would also be wasting your time.

Questions to ask yourself
Who do you need to tell? What do you want to tell them about your disability,and what are you expecting from the person you’re disclosing your status to?When should you tell them? Where is the best place to have this conversation? Why are you telling them?

With my research i have found they are a few misconception`s that people have on people dating with a disability,one being they only date other people with disabilites,this is like saying blondes only date blondes,white people only date other white people.

Every person needs a connection or chemistry to be attracted to one another,a person in a wheelchair is not just attracted to another person in a wheelchair because he/she has a great set of wheels!



This been said they is many people that do date someone with a disability like themselves thinking they will be more accepted by this person and they can relate to them better.

They can belive that a person without a disability would never look their way,which of course is untrue.



What attracts people is confidence – the confidence to show your inner self; that is what’s truly attractive.
The first step you need to take in order to have a love life is to be comfortable about your disability. Accept yourself with your flaws and disabilities. After all, each and every one of us has flaws. No one is perfect.

The thought occurred to me that perhaps the reason why many of you DOERS do not like fruitcake is because you are using the wrong recipe. Here's the one I like. Hope you all have a healthy and happy new year.

1 C Sugar

Make sure the whiskey is still OK. 

Cry another cup. Turn off the mixer. 

Break two geggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

If the fried fruit gets stuck in the beaters, 
pry it loose with a screwdriver.

Or something. Who cares? Check the whiskey.

I do understand this is a bit early for Halloween but there is a dilema involved here and I need everyone's suggestions. This year, I will be working my usual job as a receptionist/cashier/switchboard operator, etc. at an assisted living facility. Everyone that works that particular day will be dressing up a certain way to celebrate the Halloween costume day. I am uncertain as to how to dress up because there are many elderly people who disapprove of "wacky" and "ghoulish" costumes. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. This year we are concentrating on "lifting spirits" and just having some good time laughter.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Comedian Jerry Lewis is no longer serving as the Muscular Dystrophy Association's national chairman and won't be appearing on this year's Labor Day telethon, the nonprofit agency announced Wednesday night.

Lewis, 85, has been the MDA's national chairman since the early 1950s and has hosted the Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon since 1966.

He announced in May that he was retiring as host of the telethon that has become synonymous with his name. But Lewis added that he planned to make his final appearance on this year's Sept. 4, show and planned on continuing to serve as MDA's national chairman.

MDA Chairman of the Board R. Rodney Howell said in a statement that Lewis "will not be appearing on the telethon" and "we will not be replacing him as MDA national chairman."

Howell added that Lewis "is a world-class humanitarian and we're forever grateful to him for his more than half century of generous service to MDA."

The statement did not provide any further explanation for the moves, and calls to the Tucson, Ariz,-based nonprofit weren't immediately returned Wednesday night. Representatives for Lewis, a publicist and a manager, also did not immediately respond to messages left for comment.

Lewis, a Las Vegas resident, has in recent years battled a debilitating back condition, heart issues and the crippling lung disease pulmonary fibrosis.

MDA officials said more than $1 billion has been raised during Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons over the years and a national network of some 200 hospital-affiliated clinics has opened since Lewis became involved in the telethon.

Lewis' first live Labor Day weekend telethon in 1966 was broadcast by a single New York City television station. It raised more than $1 million in pledges.

The telethon moved from New York to Las Vegas in 1973 and had stints in Los Angeles before returning in 2006 to Las Vegas.

Last year's Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon aired from the South Coast hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip and was broadcast by more than 170 stations. It raised almost $59 million to fund research to find a cure for muscular dystrophy and ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease.

The live telethon usually lasts 21 1/2 hours. Sometimes Lewis would sing or tell lighthearted jokes. He introduced guests and other performers like a ringmaster. Sometimes, he turned serious and shared stories of people afflicted by the disease or who were helped by the association. All the while, he urged donors to contribute while a tote board rang up pledge totals.

Some telethon moments have made history.
