I got told off for carrying tea between my legs at Odstock, they were worried I'd scald my nuts. I did tell them I had enough feeling down there that I wasn't going to do that . . .

True, I guess you can use your lap as a stand. It just sucks when you spill something

Love it! My P.E. class did this when I was in HS and it was very cool. I think a lot of people should do it. I also think contractors/those that make places accessible should have to do it 24/7 for a good 2 weeks so they know how they are impacting us. I thought this post would go with the article about being in a chair for a day but I don't se it attached. Still trying to figure this stuff out!
