			<content:encoded>My sister and I were in a car accident Monday. It really brought home the fact that life is short and can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Were both extremely fortunate that we did not die in the accident. Death is something I rarely thought about but now its a common thought in my mind. We only get one go around in life and we all need to make the most of it. So chase your dreams and enjoy every moment of life because non of us know how long will be here to rock the world.</content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[My name is Terence Walton and I was born disabled and walk with clutches through my school and my working years. Then I started gaining weight due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits. I became confide to a wheelchair and on a fixed income (SSD).<br /> <br />Now I spend most of my day working with my Internet business creating residual income for my family and I. My goal is to provide financial freedom, take long vacations, and not have to worry about where the next dollar is coming from.<br /> <br />In my search for a program that will meet my goal of financial freedom, I finally found what I was looking for. It is a community of 4 programs of which 3 of the programs allowed you to become a free member and if you choose, upgrade with a one-to-time fee. That&#8217;s right, no monthly or annual fee. The four programs work hand-in-hand together and provide the opportunity to build a down line, advertise, email to over 15,000 opted in members and create a steady residual income with live on-line training and Skype support chat room.<br /> <br />The owner is a great guy and is very into helping his members achieve their personal and financial goals. He has recently added a great new program that will not only increase my residual income potential but more importantly, my health. It&#8217;s a nutritional and cleansing program and I was so excited about it after viewing the videos and reading about it, that I had to enroll immediately so I can start on my new goal of losing 100 pounds and make money too.<br /> <br />Losing this weight will help me walk again with the aid of clutches, and ride in a car instead of a wheelchair accessible van. I will be able to become more functional without the dependence of a wheelchair.<br /> <br />Thanks for reading!<br /> <br />Terence Walton]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was watching TV last night and just happened to turn to the OWN network and viewed a story about a man who was a judge in a certain area (did not catch the state).  The individual uses all kinds of modern technology that is available  to assist him at work in his courtroom. This individual had lost his vision due to macular degeneration in his early 20's but his determination to become a judge did not stop at that point.  He continued on to Law school and received his degrees and is now a judge.  He uses a seeing eye dog for mobility and is such an inspiration to anyone who has visual impairment or blind.  I wanted to share this story to everyone to show once again, "Where there is a will, there is a way".]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Love this saying:<br /><br />Do you try to look on the bright side of life?<br />"Singin' in the Rain" Day<br />Life can be a bit overcast sometimes, can't it? Well, just like Gene Kelly, who was born on this date in 1912, you, too, can be "Singin' in the Rain." When worrisome clouds gather, try focusing on the positive things in life, like family, friendships, pets, or whatever interests you have that will bring a spark to an otherwise "rainey day.<img src="http://www.disabledonline.com/community/file/pic/emoticon/default/thumbup.gif" alt="thumbup" title="thumbup" title="v_middle" />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Greetings all.  Does anyone out there use an iMac that has been partitioned to run Windows?  I recently retired my pc and switched to an iMac but have learned that it will not run some of my software.  Downloading from the net seems to cause me some grief too. I'm considering a partition and was wondering if others have done this and are you happy with the result?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded>Every day I venture outside to see if there are any rain clouds in sight and to water the rose bushes and yard on the days required by law in our city. and have recently noticed there are no birds in sight.  I do know they were around just a few weeks ago as I always listen to the different birds singing as they are searching for food and water.  Lately, there have been no chirping birds and no singing at all.  This is very strange for this time of year as its not time for them to fly for the winter season.  This really concerns me in part of Texas and I really miss the singing. Where have all the birdies gone????</content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Let's chat about great service! Over time, I have slowly found some places are better than others when it comes to good service for disabled folks! Red Lobster is very good about making special dishes for me, I can only use my right hand. If asked they will serve the Lobster out of the shell, and serve a more "chopped" salad so it's easier to eat without have someone at my table cut it for me. Any one else have good service experiences to share? Let's chat!<img src="http://www.disabledonline.com/community/file/pic/emoticon/default/yes.gif" alt="yes" title="yes" title="v_middle" />]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Getting a weapons carry permit in a wheelchair</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am doing this with speech recognition so some of the syntax will be incorrect please bear with me.<br /><br />It is easy to get you carry permit even if you're in a wheelchair. First check with your local Sheriff and see what you have to do to get a carry permit. Some states are opening carry other states are concealed carry, you must find out what your state requires.  my state of Alabama is a concealed carry state, and the Sheriff and each county has a little bit different process you must go through. I am lucky that my sheriff believes in the Second Amendment and does not make it hard on you.<br /><br />Once you find out what is required to get to carry permit you want to pick out the type of weapon you will carry. You will be going for a pistol or a revolver. You do not want to be John Wayne or dirty Harry and get the biggest handgun they have as you will not practice with this.  You will want to get a handgun that you can control the recoil. Myself I use a Ruger SR9, I will be getting a Ruger SR9C. These are both 9 mm pistols and I can control the recoil on both of the pistols.<br /><br />Some people like revolvers better than pistols.  A 38 caliber  or the judge that is a 45 colt or a  410 shotgun shell. Both of these are easy to conceal on the body.<br /><br />The next thing you have to decide is what kind of holster you would use. I myself use of fanny pack. A lot of people say  these  scream pistols. But a person in a wheelchair it is very common to have a fanny pack.  Another good way to carry is to use a belly band. But you want to pick out the type bolster that you are comfortable with and that you will carry the weapon at all times. A weapon  locked in the safe does you no good if you need it. I carry my pistol all the time, that is in the house and when I go out.<br /><br />I do know that some people do not like the subject but I have been asked to talk about this. It is your right to protect yourself, your home and your belongings. But it is not your right to chase  somebody Down the St.and shoot them. We should have the same types of weapons that the military uses so that we can fit in easily.<br /><br />When you do get your permit you want to practice and get training on how to use your new weapon. I myself train with the local police  and get training from a  an NRA  instructor and practice at least 2 to 4 times a month.<br /><br />Another thing you must do is be able to use the weapon when you have too. If you cannot shoot to kill a person then do not get the carry permit. If you must think twice before using the weapon you will be killed.<br /><br />A lot of people think the police will protect us. But try this exercise. Take your phone and imitate that your dining 911, then count 5 seconds this is the minimum time it takes to get through. After you do this count 10 seconds as this will be the amount of time it takes you to tell the operator what is going on. Now add 6 min. to this time as this is the standard response time of the police to get to your house. It takes a person less than 4 seconds to break into your door and then one second to kill you. Another 3 min. to rob you and then get away. As you can see the police have not had time to get to you to help.<br /><br />Weapons are for some people but not for everybody make your choice and then go with it. Remember to practice and get good training. Just because you have a couple rifles and you practice just before hunting season is not the same.<br /><br />Good luck to you and if you have any questions please contact me.<br /><br />Dennis]]></content:encoded>
