I understand your concerns. In general, the market for wheelchair accessible RV is small enough that most customize an existing RV instead by adding wheelchair lifts and modify existing hardware and entry and showers and such.

Here's a link to more links that may help.

I have a neuromuscular disability and use a wheelchair. I also have severe osteoporosis. For the last six months I have been having a problem with my urine. Sometimes I dribble in my pants or when I transfer the pressure on my bladder causes urine to come out onto my pants. What I am concerned about is that the urine has a white chalky substance that immediately appears on my pants, and when the pants are dry it looks as if somebody has drawn on them with white chalk. This is starting to occur more and more frequently. I took a photograph and took it to my family physician several times. He conducted a urinalysis and found no infections. This last time he said he did not know what it was. He would not even have my clothing tested by a lab to determine what the substance is, nor refer me to a specialist. He just said there was nothing he could do. Urinating a white chalky substance is not normal. I want to know what's causing it, and what I can do about it. Who can I see?

It could be you're wasting calcium and phosphorus. As you mentioned that you have severe osteoporosis this could be the reason. Your body is not absorbing these electrolytes but instead you pass them into your urine.

I mean, a whole lot of us would prefer to have our Avatars look close to our real images...so why aren't there choices in wrinkles? A wattle here. Undereye bags there. Age spots. And laugh lines in cheeks and beside eyes. Even loose jowls for those who really want to scare the kiddies?!

Come on Yahoo--you have already given us ethnic clothing and wheelchairs. How about some wrinkles, and a (slightly) bent body for us seniors?
To Vaya and Mel S.--yes I agree, my avatar does look very young, only with silver hair!!

It just dawned on me when I glanced at it today that the picture could be more me at 28 (although my silver hair then was limited to a few at my temples!) than me now.
As to choices like Violet and Mellie suggest--please YES! Freckles and fat--it all comes down to the same thing--we need to be able to customize our images to suit ourselves. And what would suit me is being able to portray my avatar as close to my image as I can make it.
For Sylvia D...you are just too nice for this nasty world we live in!! Always upbeat, and looking on the bright side, is our Syl.

And Bill S...well, we can always lie to ourselves and claim we are only as old as we feel. I too, am only 25 years old or so inside of myself where it matters--but the truth remains that I am getting older every day, and it shows. I would much rather live the truth than a lie, and if I choose to have my avatar reflect that truth, then I should be able to have that option.

The only other alternative is to post a picture of the "real me" on here--but that means starting a 360 account, and I am just not going to do that. Besides, I would probably end up with a violation for posting "obscene" material!!
For 2jaxx, I have found this for you, to help you set up your own avatar...

Well, I see that I'm getting about a half and half response here. Some of us who want the chance to portray ourselves as close to life as we are, and those others who still want to be a little bit mysterious....

To Goldwing..I'm afraid that you are much prettier than me, so can get away with an actual picture.

And for Woolley...I only recently made my network private, when I picked up my own personal troll. I hope you never have to find out about THEM.

Thank you all for answering. Maybe I will set up a petition for Yahoo to provide us with wrinkles!! (As soon as I figure out how!!)

I think that all positive suggestions, and there are lots of them, are cool.

Come on Yahoo, do it for those of us who aren't chicken to really live this life.

Remember, those laugh lines (aka crow's feet) are our life's stripes. Wear them proudly friends.
