Perks of being a Wheeler :)

Get to park close to store entrances.

Get on planes and trains first.

Oh, our spot on Via is in first class! Without first class prices!

We can't get a ticket for using a "normal" parking space!

Disneyland caters to us like we are movie stars. We get larger cabins/rooms on cruise ships. They build larger toilet stalls for us. We can use family restrooms while we are alone and nobody complains about it. We can use narcotics legally.

Knight...my cat isn't allowed to sleep on my cushion because he likes to knead it, however he does like to go for rides sitting on my lap

1. your legs never get tired
2. We can get parking with our pics on it (if you so choose to use it. I don't always)
3. Great upper body strength
4. When people stare we choose whether is because we are in a wheelchair or because we look good. I choose it's because i look good
5. I'd say we tend to get to see people for who they really are fairly quickly. Some people will be your friend and some won't and I think being a wheelchair user helps us weed out the fake people pretty quickly.
6. I will say that although I don't want to be on disability forever and Lord willing I will get off of it one day I think it's great to be a wheelchair user because being able to get on disability open up resources that some people don't have. It can be a catch 22 but it is doable with research and planning. I am still learning.
7. I can "walk" faster than most of my friends
8. Always have a chair with me
9. An "excuse" not to get up when they say "everybody stand" To which i always jokingly say "I refuse!" People don't know whether to laugh or not and I find it hilarious LOL
10. We are occasionally lucky to have to get some hot dude or girl to help lift us, like in a canoe or something hehehe

I hope some of these made you alaugh and you can relate too!

here is another perk - getting to do cool s*** like this - im the guy in the green !!!

I know every town has a skate park to thrash my chair/body on

and yes I am a naughty one lara

That's crazy jimmyt, looked like it was fun! Was that Aaron Fotheringham there with you guys? The weather looked like it made things harder but I bet it was fun in the same time being able to skid around easy!
