[QUAD-L] Dreams and Anniversaries
Hello! I'm fairly new to QUAD-L. My injury anniversary is 06-22. I've been a quad for 30yrs. I was injured when I was 14yrs. It was tough. I lived in a small town, the only people you saw in wheelchairs were elderly. All in all it made me strong and perserver (sp). I received my Master's and had my 13th Wedding anniversaries yesterday. My injury anniversaries are filled with positive feelings and memories. My journey has been long and I have many to go. I've had many illnesses and skin issues these last 5 to 7 yrs, but they only make me stronger and want to fight harder. Sincerely, Lisa

Re: [QUAD-L] dreams
I have some, but not very often. I dream in color though, so maybe it uses up more dream time ;^P Since my accident the dreams are far and few, often of events long ago...

Re: [QUAD-L] Isn't this forum about discussion?
Don't know what the fuss is all about. I wonder, when did they abolish the citizenship training? I'm all for a DOCUMENTED guest worker program. 90 Days to get documented from such'n'such a date if you are working here ILLEGALY. After that IMMEADIATE deportation if caught. No excuses. No Whining. That illegal alien amnesty was suppose to be a ONE TIME chance. Enforce our immigration laws. Slap employers with BIG fines and jail time for knowingly ignoring the illegal status. And I'm serious.

Title: Isn't this forum about discussion? People Why is the only thing mentioned about my reaction to straight out knee-jerk reaction to a changing society is the ending of the posts, but with sympathy for the author's feelings . I tried to clarify my intent and realize my "Enrich my Wordpower" approach was not the best choice-should a perceived slight trump the point I was writing about? If you think I'm full of shit-speak up or is this like Bush's cabinet where "if your not for us, your against us"? This was sent to me. I totally agree, never once mentions pursuing education or reproduction as bad things. Speak your mind. Back it up. Or maybe you might think about a different tact -Cameron PS Carol- at no point did I mean to offend- but it was a bit heavy handed Story in Tampa Newspaper Will we still be the Country of choice and still be America if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in America because it is the Country of Choice?? Think about it All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that. This says it all! This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please! IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity! to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. It is Time for America to Speak up If you agree -- pass this along; if you don't agree -- delete it! AMEN I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers
