Here's the Problem with with being in a Wheelchair.
You get lots of Stares and looks as if something is wrong with you, and Scared looks as if this So called Wheelchair Disease wares off on you, or that it gives you some kind of mental Stress Disease also.
No one ever knows why so many people are So scared to approach someone in a Wheelchair or even acknowledge that they are just another person with the Inability to walk instead of having some kind of mental problem.
And besides this, we also have problems with Health, We Get Sick Easier, Get infections Easier, just more prone to stuff then the standard "Upright" as we call them. The people that can Walk, Run, Ice Skate etc.
Well I can Ice Skate in my Wheelchair also, I just roll around on a Slab of ice and hold my Wheels and move around like a Skateboard and all to do sliding and all, but this is besides the point!
I have got a UTI, Unfamiliar what a UTI is? Look it up, Get informed about certain matters that are to the Unknown.
Many Pet Peeves I have, maybe later on there will be a post about Pet Peeves and a Handi's Top 10 List of peeves.
This post was more of a Rant and Drama post about getting sick quicker then normal and having more inefections and problems then the next person, and not a Sympthy post either cause I don't want I'm Sorry to hear that, you are in my Prayers, and all of this other Shit I've heard Many times over in the past 20+ years that I have been Disabled.
It's more of just a Rant for some of the poeple that can relate, for the people that knows, for the people that just actually cares vs. the people that don't care.

A Little Snow, A lot of Cold
How is everyone on this Fine COOOOOOLD morning?
As usual it's cold, Gas prices are still slightly down enough that it's not going to brake the bank for us this winter, well lets hope anyway, me and my ole lady are rejoycing because of it.
Normally around this time of the year, our gas bill runs around 350.00 a month during the winter, this hits us hard being low income and all. But we need heat for ourselves, our pets and our son. So we have to find away to pay it, we have also been trying to make a little extra money by selling some of our Hand Crafts on etsy store.
Of course, we haven't been doing very well with that either, I think it's because we don't have our name out there yet, or it's people don't like what we craft, whatever the veriable is behind why we arn't getting business, maybe it's not ment to be, Who knows.
We've tried getting a Job, but being Handicapped, the economy and the job market will now allow, you might as well say, have a Job because of Limitations they say, or they say, we don't have any openings, but yet, you see an imediate Hiring as soon as someone walks in the door, Then when you claim to throw a Law Suite on them, They just claim that the Job requires Heavy Lifting, Requires Upper area Organizing or anything that they can come up with to not hire you cause you will put a Damper on Sales cause you are what the customers see when they walk into the Store or office.
So, the best work I found, if we got sales that is, is behind the computer, I don't have to worry about listening to Dumb ass people say, You are under or over qualified, we arn't hiring right now, we can't hire you because it requires this and that, It's all Bullshit, So to eliminate the Middle man and work for Stupid people, I will work for myself, and what better boss to have?
You are your own Boss, You make your own Hours and Pay what better way is there? It's what I've always wanted... not really for Scroll Sawing, but more for Computers, But computers are moving so fast, i'm not sure what I want anymore so right now I'm sticking with Scroll Sawing.

Unsuccessful Move
Hello everyone.
I tried last night for a few hours to move my Woodworking and Scroll Saw Working Blog "Handi's Workshop" to that email account. Which basically means that it wouldn't be on this "Jwarner75@gmail.com" Account it would be under my "Handisworkshop@gmail.com" Account so that email could just be used and whatnot.
Well needless to say it didn't work out just quite like expected. I was able to retain all of my Blog post and all of my Comments, but i was not able to save all of my Saved Links, my Followers and all of my Widgets.
So I spent even more time last night setting shit back up, it wasn't a really great night for me as I was hoping more for the best then worse. Anyway, Everything is back to normal again except for the fact that I've got to run down all of my Visited and woodworking/scroll sawing links, which isn't too bad cause I follow most of them.
So here is what the main idea is, All of my followers are no more on my Workshop, so I just decided that I would post here, and ask that all of my followers that was following my Workshop Blog, to come back on over PLEASE!! :) and Re follow my Workshop
That would make it easier to receive notice of my Updated post and all that! If you don't remember the link, Click the title of this post, it will take you back to my Workshop.
Thanks,
Handi

Air in There!
I have just got my tire fixed. What a Relief and a load off my mind.
It becomes Frustrating when you can't move around that much or get where you need to get.
I had to change out a tube from one of my other chairs that has the same Size tires. unfortunately, my Tubes are not standard size as the standard wheelchair tire. Standard Tire is 24x1 3/4.
My Tires are 24x1 and Hold 110psi of Air, Racing Tires basically.
Anyway, I put one tube in, and it was previously patched and apparently still had holes or slow leak in the tube and didn't know that until the next day when it was flat again.
So I had to take it out again, and change it with the other tube on the other side, so far so good, it's holding up pretty well, at least until I can get my vendor to get me some more in case this happens again!
Once I got my tube in, I had to trot out to the Garage where I have my heavy Duty Air Compressor to air up my tire, that was a Job in it's self, just because I had to be careful on the road not to damage my rim and damage my tube I just replaced.

Flat Tire!
Hello everyone,
Not that this may be of interest to anyone's everyday Life, but unfortunately it's relevant to my Everyday life, just because I have to deal with mobility issues, especially when My wheelchair has Air Filled Tires.
I don't know how it happen, but I ended up with a Staple in my Wheelchair tire last night, I figured that if it was left alone, It would still hold a little air til I was able to fix it.
Well unfortunately, I was wrong, it works in cars, but not wheelchairs I guess. So I pulled off my Wheel, Took the tire and inter tube, Then I yanked the Staple out of course, that way I could find where the staple was puncturing my tube at.
And unfortunately I only had Adhesive Patches, don't know if anyone has used them, but they SUCK really bad, I've not gotten around to Airing my Tire up yet, cause the ole lady just went out the door to grab a little food for the house, and with 5 dogs and a 8 year old, you can't leave them in the house alone, so I guess that means another few minutes that I've got to sit here with no movement.
