No, I'm not. Jumping out of an aeroplane is brave. Standing up to a bully is brave. They are choices!

Once I've regained the power of speech and lost my goldfish impression from being stunned at the complete inappropriateness of the question, I inform them that as an unmarried Catholic, I'm actually still a virgin.<br /><br />(Kat Last)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-51533940062577759062014-09-20T15:40:44.345+01:002014-09-20T15:40:44.345+01:00wonderfully eloquent - many thanks for thiswonderfully eloquent - many thanks for thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572102937612408267.post-64808224974822113842014-09-20T15:24:28.959+01:002014-09-20T15:24:28.959+01:00Oh this, so totally this.

There is no doubt that use of a wheelchair often and immediately renders one's personal medical and care needs public property.
