I don't particularly enjoy pestering service providers. If you have agreed to provide a service or deliver equipment, I am naive enough to believe you will follow through. It doesn't seem to work that way. Organizations don't want to get moving unless you keep calling and pushing.

Of course, my favorite line recently was "I'm very sorry, we've had your cushion here. Somehow, you got lost in the cracks." Can't help wondering which crack they were referring to.

Squeaky wheels get results, but, does it have to be like  this? Kinda feeling like the hamster on the wheel.........

Well, 2015 is over and I'm glad. The kinda year that if something could go wrong, it did. Fighting infections, getting sick from the infection treatments, moving to a new environment, losing abilities, skin breakdown, and equipment problems are just a few of the highlights.

Of course, being Mr. Crankypants is not the state of mind I need to be able to present a more positive outlook. I was even hesitant about my first paragraph, but, reality; it is what it is.

Happy New Year and many blessings to all of you. Let's just give it our best shot today.

I've been very busy focusing on what I need to do and just haven't felt like talking about it. I apologize. The purpose of my website is to share and increase awareness. So, I'm baaaaackkk!

Just  had to do a quick post. Not neglecting my duties, just have higher priorities this month.

Note that the car is possibly a person with a disability parked in the proper spot. Just not  paying attention. This illustrates how much room a van with a ramp REALLY needs...

 An effort to adopt a more in-motion symbol for accessibility is gaining traction with New York requiring all new signage in the state to utilize the “Accessible Icon.” (Accessible Icon Project)

A revamped version of the blue and white icon that’s long symbolized accessibility everywhere from parking lots to restrooms will soon be commonplace in more communities.

Under a bill signed late last week, New York will be come the first state to require all new and replacement signage used to signify accessibility for people with disabilities to include a more active, in-motion image of a person using a wheelchair.

The state will also change the terminology on such signs, employing the word “accessible” instead of “handicapped.”

The shift is about more than aesthetics, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in signing the legislation.

“This bill is an important step toward correcting society’s understanding of accessibility and eliminating a stigma,” Cuomo said.

New York City and a smattering of other localities, businesses and schools have already agreed to adopt the revamped symbol, known as the “Accessible Icon,” which first gained momentum through a grassroots effort in Boston.

What’s more, the icon is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as part of an exhibit of culturally-relevant designs developed in recent decades.
