Yo!

Anyone in here?

I check in on occasion via a web interface via a local BBS that's been up for 
forty years!

I do have a disability (so they say, but __I__ decide when something creates
a  barrier for me, not them!)

I am paralyzed on my left side mostly, but I can hobble around for short 
distances and go farther using a powerchair (when it's not broken, as it is 
now); or, if I must be somewhere & my chair is dead, I call a cxn & use my
quad cane.

I'm about the doing, not the inabilities.  

Barriers exist in some shape or form for EVERYONE! But most of us were raised 
to just go over, around, under, or straight through any barriers.

Job has to be done, no excuses.

I may not have use of my left hand, so I learned to type up to 82WPM with
just  my right hand! Scares the normies! *LOL*

Currently I'm between jobs, as my employer of nineteen years finally figured 
out they had one staff member/department on the old wages (CAD$ vs Mexican 
pesos) and closed the department in a cost-saving measure, & away I went. . 

Now, if I were smart, they say, I'd just settle back & retire, but that
doesn't work for me! Living on a disability pension(or old age one in 7 years)

I kind of had my retirement when I was young enough to fully enjoy it (girls
&  booze, & copious amounts of both, plus weed) in my late teens, early
twenties,  until a busted brain vessel (aneurysm) slowed me down all at once.
I kept going with the girls for a while, as I'd discovered the internet,. &
bored women in  their 30s &40s who will happily fly over to Vancouver, Canada
for a weekend or  two of celebrating the inner workings of the human mutual
orgasm.

Notice I leave out the details--this is because I'm a Fido Moderator from the 
last millennium and understand the overall rules and audience. . .  Some of
you have imaginations & I say you're right in darn near every details, except
THAT  ONE -- nope, I do have standards. . . which might surprise one or two of
my 
exes, but life goes on. . .

Ow I'm married with children, out in the sub-burps of Vancouver, able to get 
from home to downtown Vancouver's CBD in under an hour any time I decide to go.

Looking for work mostly on Indeed, using A.I. to perfect each and every 
application package.

So, yeah, disability -- yeah, sure, I sit more than I used to before the 
hemiplegia set in, but only when Io don't have something better to do, &/or
to  go.

Oh, I am still a moderator of the echo I was Mod of in the 1990s; I won't
name  it because that might go against a moderator echo rule regarding
advertising  competitive echoes.  RN, ABLED is the ONLY echo worth being in.
If this echo's  moderators decide it's okay, they'll let me know & I'll share
the name of it,  or if they already know they might just say it for you. . . 

Hope y'all are having a wonderful first weekend in September! I'm kicking 
back,enjoying the holiday weekend for today & tomorrow, too. . .

Writeback & freely tell yourself about me (umm, or vice-versa) & let's start 
conversations in this slow moving message group. . .

The internet & its chat areas are too commercialized & filled with spyware & 
adware, let's give life back to the original internet -- FIDO & BBSing!

As you cante from the above, I'm a talker, yup. . . on the autism 
spectrum(ASD/Asperger's) on top of everything else, but higher functioning 
enough that nobody really can tell, except for my chatty nature in this age
of  ignoring your fellow man(&/or woman &/or womyn &/or myn)

I'm all about inclusion in my working in my community with multiple 
organisations, including the city council/mayor, & city staff/management, to 
help ensure the removal of barriers that affect those with disabilities
and/or  other barriers to full participation in the community.

So, yeah, write back, say hi, tell me about yourself. . .
