I decided to get it after I almost missed the bus back from the P&S Vegas trip.
Papillon: Sorry if I offended you. How do you know I am not in a wheelchair? Maybe I just like to joke about it instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for myself. Get a grip and don't answer the question if you don't like it. And DON'T assume you know anyone's position or capabilities or lack thereof.
Oh, and Papillion, I am assuming you never had to take public transportation. Every hear of a wheelchair lift? Now who's the one "BUSTED"

They've been very supportive. I used to ski growing up as a kid, with outriggers and standing on one ski. I've played soccer. I've played high school football. I wrestled in school. I was on the high school basketball team.
