It's really amazing reading about all the people with disabilities that are in this lifestyle. I never realized there were so many. I have had a terrible time as far as finding any play partners, but what they don't realize, is we are just human and also have needs and wants just like everyone else. I have talked to several different people, and thought so many times that I had finally found someone compatable, but then things seem to change, and go by the wayside. I have been and always will be completely honest with anyone I become accouinted with. I always tell them right up front that I am 56 years old, have had 7 ruptured discs for years, have had two heart attacks, and I am full of arthritis. I try not to let it get me down, and do my best to stay active and friendly with everyone. I'm actually a very caring and gental person, and everyone seems to take a liking to me right away, but yet, it has been a good 6 or 7 years trying to find others for play. So many times, I have shared emails, and talked to different ones, and then it is like they just dissappear. I've even had a few that said we should meet, but then they never show. The few people I have met, have lived so far away, and even though we had some great times together, the distance thing makes it kind of hard. I have said so many times that I might as well give it up, yet, I can't seem to give up. I am a switch. I enjoy things either way, and love every minute of it. It is nice to at least be able to go through the posts here, and on some yahoo groups, and read about what others share, but it would be even better if I could find someone to share fun times with with similar interests in the lifestyle. Disabilities have so much impact on our lives, but it shouldn't have to be that way. We still care and have so much love in our hearts just like people without disabilities. Chuck
