The ignorant people who failed to consider that a young person using an motorized wheelchair can suffer from massive anxiety in trying to maneuver/drive his chair in responsible/safe/courteous manner when they refuse to give him breathing distance/space . It was like he was invisible the way some people acted. He is so well mannered that he constantly stopped to compensate, eventualllllllllly made me want to kick ass, wouldn't be setting a good example about tolerance though.

How can so many people be so damn clueless ?

Hopefully its not because people are inherently selfish or just don't give a damn Miss Rebecca.

Hopefully its clueless or ignorance...*nods* those we can work on

You know what kills me irrespective of the cause, it undermines his confidence.

I 'do' advocacy but at the same time it's a lead by example frame of reference these days. While I have worked hard on his knowing his inherent value, I have also taught him that the world does not revolve around him. You know there is a such a fine line, I tend to err on the side of believing better of people. Frankly I'm left a little uncertain at this stage if I am giving them a little too much credit in that department. I know the behaviors I saw exhibited today were across the board and my faking it's 'okay' gets kind of exhausting after awhile.

Anyway, we're getting back on that horse soon. I'm insisting we keep our dinner 'date' irrespective of todays 'challenges'. They better be serving duck I tell you : laughs :

BTW Thank you for your concern Miss Minx, I almost feel better

Thats the spirit Miss Rebecca (golly I sound very 'old' English - snigger)

Heaven help them if the ducks off and may I recommend a swift but discreet kick to the shin of the next ignoramus, followed of course by a sweet 'oh i'm
terribly sorry' (if you are feeling generous) - that should make you feel much better

The horse thang worked, well that and more slightly challenging exposure to ignorami. The finale was the reward of peanut butter chocolate ice-cream : gag face : from Baskin Robbins but he didn't know in advance that I planned to loiter there as our final stop on the walk 'home'.

The duck on the other hand was never going to be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h, the particular Chinese Restaurant we had planned on going to apparently specializes in it. Only thing was, we ended up eating outside in an Italian place instead. No ducky for bad Rebecca boo hoo.

It was a lovely evening, dammit am I in the wrong thread now : laughsighs :

I am thinking perhaps we'll try Minus 5 tomorrow muahahaha.....

Today it was people who like to stick their noses where they don't belong and try to tell you how to run your life.... and then get upset with you over something that had no impact on them and that happened six months ago. I'm a big girl, I can fix my own mistakes on my own and don't need the condesention and sarcasm of people who weren't involved, or even intended to know, months after it's already been taken care of. Grrrr!

The airport yesterday morning pissed me right the fuck off.

I checked in really early, like as soon as the airport opened, because I was on one of the first flights out. I was the first person to check in for my flight, and she asked "any carry ons" I said "No luggage, but I have my kittens and my purse." Princess Peach and Zelda are small enough that they could be in the same carrier. I placed them on the counter, she peeked in, the girls flirted, she measured the carrier to be sure it was okay under the seat in front of me, and checked their shot records. And didn't enter any of that in the computer. We went merrily on our way through the security check point, where the woman gave me a hard time about the metal buckles on their collars. She was so busy bitching about the buckles, she forgot to complain about the metal on their tags with all their info on it...

We get to the gate, wait a bit, and are in the second to last group to board because we were seated close to the front. They stop me. "You have to check the cats." I asked why, as the plane wasn't full. (Yes, I've seen them demand we check carry on when the plane is full, but it wasn't.) The bi, er person goes "We can only have 7 carriers in coach and you're number 8." I said "No. I was the first person checked into this flight and she KNEW I was traveling with my girls. Look at my boarding pass."

"I don't care what your boarding pass says, we don't have you with a carrier on the manifest so you have to check the cats."

"I don't care what the manifest says, your person screwed up, you can fix it. Can't the pilot make an executive decision? (I asked since they're the ultimate decision in who flies on their plane, according to every airline employee I know.)"

"I'm not going to bother the pilot with something so trivial. Let me get you a gate check."

"For the last time, my girls are NOT flying cargo. I'll stand by for a later flight."

"You can't stand by with a carrier and you have a restricted ticket with fees for changes after ticketing." Since FUCKING WHEN can we not stand by with a carrier? I did it last summer!

"I think we need a customer service manager, here, pronto."

I do deep cleansing breaths and play with my girls through the door while we wait and they close out my flight, which leaves, without me. One of the bi- er women who wouldn't let us on the plane wants me to take Zelda out so she can see her. (Zelda's the Bengal and she hadn't seen one up close and personal before.) I declined very politely, considering there was smoke coming out of my ears. The CSM shows up, looks at my res, my ticket, and my boarding pass, confirms me on the only seat on the next flight out, which happens to be in business class. She also gives me 250 dollars in Air Canada vouchers, which I may never use, because I have to get over my mad first. She then tells the two gate agents that the "mis-handling of this situation will be discussed in detail after things quiet down next week."

I woke up early this morning to fax something to DHS only to find out that K didn't get what I needed. not that big a deal, I figured we'd go get it this afternoon and went back to bed. Then I woke up again, and K was gone - no note, nothing. I called the cell . . . nothing. So I'm in a pretty pissy mood. He called me back - he went to go get that piece of paper, didn't think it was neccessary to let me know, cause he had the phone WHICH HE LEFT IN THE FUCKING CAR.

Gee, I wonder how he'll feel if I do that to him sometime.

 

[@}-}rebecca----]

I hate shit like that.

I was kind of surprised, around our local areas it's never an issue. Never was before either when the two of us traveled the World for four months, not that many years ago, with a little planning nothing stopped us. The main change here has been incorporating the power chair over a manual style, I was kind of floored by the obvious impact peoples careless behavior had on him. I felt kind of naive not to have considered it . He wanted to revert back to his manual wheelchair ( as we have both here ) which while convenient ( for places with zip access ) , destroys his independence.

He has worked really hard to master the skills in using it safely, what some people may not consider is that a power chair is a potentially lethal weapon to bystanders and property if not handled carefully, he knows it, hence the stress. It sucked but we surpassed it last night, in fact after he chilled out we had a pretty good time. We'll continue to do so, just another learning curve here. I am pretty proud of him actually, he did really well .

Wrong thread again ? I am doing the gloating pride thang here currently.

Good for you Miss Snowy, especially so as I am aware of some 'live cargo' handling behaviors that used to go on here, that are far from acceptable. Australia doesn't have an option to take companion animals with you inflight unless they are guide dogs, I can tell you in a lifetime of flying ( nope not on my broomstick ) I have yet to even seen one accompany a person yet. The kittens may have never survived the flight. Sorry you went through so much but you did the right thing.

LOL, I have a way of sometimes blocking unpleasant things out when I want to remain mellow, but today it came back to me how I did the usual thing and sat up until 3am Christmas morning when going to bed at 11pm would have been wonderful, just so I could phone home and catch nearly everyone in the one place and awake, to wish them a Merry Christmas etc. It was as usual welcomed by all except my mother who said she couldn't talk as it really wasn't a convenient time given she had only just arrived at my sister's house and wanted to have a cuppa (if that was possible, she added)....sheesh, at least it was a normal hour there, how did she figure 3am was a convenient time for me?!!

Everyone is entitled to their own feelings...................but as for me?

Nothing truly pisses me off..................I simply will not allow anyone or anything the power to control MY emotions.

In direct contrast:

Nearly everything cause I feel like shit and I've got a hair trigger temper right now.

OTOH I'm also awfully silly right now.

On a more serious note Cat, I'm just doing what any parent would just in a slightly less average frame of reference I suspect. Not expecting Saintdom in this life time . Ohh on second thoughts that's a cool analogy, where can I get myself one of those Saint Doms ?

Depends on the potential attributes one may, on a personal level, relegate to 'saintly' I suspect Mr Homburg.
