Welcome to the PowerQuad Disability Support Forum!
PQ is an informational, supportive, and FUN social network, run by people with disabilities, for people with disabilities and the people who care about them. We are not professionals. We're not here to cure, fix, or change anyone. We're just ordinary gimps living life. And we're living it with our disabilities, just doing the best we can, despite the extra challenges we may face.
So, here you will find years of combined disability experience. If you're new to the game, we can help you find your way. If you're an experienced hand, please share your knowledge with us.
Whatever the case, ain't it good to know...
you've got some friends?
Please, join us. Introduce yourself. Tell us what's on your mind. Whatever it is, chances are, we've been there, and we "get it" when others often don't. If you're shy, lurk awhile if you prefer. We'll be here when you're ready!

A strange sound on my computer

Over the past couple of days, my computer has begun making a strange sound every once in a while. It's like a much softer version of the "e-e-e-e" noise a microphone makes when you turn it up all the way. Not nearly as loud and definitely not as piercing, but I can still notice it. At first I thought it was coming from somewhere else in the building, but I turned off my PC and started it back up again, and the noise went away. Could my computer be about to malfunction or something? I've had it less than two-and-a-half years.

Parking space?

I was waiting for my girlfriend at the dentist and I noticed the parking seemed a little odd. You can't tell but the sign says van accessible and the "cut" is really a break in the curb right in front of the left front tire. Glad it's not my dentist.

Ok...got the new computer and the game. Game runs great but I have a question regarding moving in the game. I don't have any fancy game controllers, use the mouse and the keyboard. I find that looking around using the mouse and moving the guy (turning corners) with the mouse to be rather slow and cumbersome...like...I move forward using the "w" key but can't make the turns around corners fast enough using the mouse. This make sense? Anything one can do to improve the mouse sensitivity?

We have gone through a few different beds, all were fine but nothing great. Now we're about 6 months into our Sleep Number bed and really liking it. Hubby can have his super soft and smooshy and I can have mine a little more supportive...we went ahead and got the one where you can adjust the head and feet up or down, too. It looks just like a regular bed, nothing hospital-y, which is important to me. I give it two thumbs up.

town's war on gay teen (don't read ronda)

Quote:
For years, the area has also bred a deep strain of religious conservatism. At churches like First Baptist Church of Anoka, parishioners believe that homosexuality is a form of mental illness caused by family dysfunction, childhood trauma and exposure to pornography – a perversion curable through intensive therapy. It's a point of view shared by their congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who has called homosexuality a form of "sexual dysfunction" that amounts to "personal enslavement." In 1993, Bachmann, a proponent of school prayer and creationism, co-founded the New Heights charter school in the town of Stillwater, only to flee the board amid an outcry that the school was promoting a religious curriculum. Bachmann also is affiliated with the ultraright Minnesota Family Council, headlining a fundraiser for them last spring alongside Newt Gingrich.

Heaven...

...some might say I shouldn't worry about it because my chances of getting there while I stay on the course I am is pretty much "nada".
That said, I find myself wondering if I'd want to go to heaven, at least the heaven as some describe it.
This was a topic of discussion before, "What does heaven look like?" or something like that.
So...heaven. A place where there is only positive, no death, no sorrow, no worries. Everything is "perfect". No conflicts, no danger, no risk.
To me, this sounds awfully boring. I mean everything that makes being a human interesting is gone.
No adventure because imho adventure means challenge which mean risk. If there are no challenges, no risk, then imho that means no adventure either.
Humans are wired to adapt to changes and challenges, we're driven by goals that often mean taking risks. We love to push ourselves to our limits and then some. These things will not exist in the heaven I've heard described.
So is an eternity of "Stepford People" like existence all there is to look forward to? Not the utopia I have imagined that's for sure.

...saw your attempted posts at NM. It seems you may be being censored by the same left wing conspiracy Ronda spoke about as the explanation for her posts not loading properly.

Thanks my friend. You know, I really begin to think that too many liberals hit the 'cry to EMMY button' on this board because it is a rare occurrence that I can post ANYTHING copy/pasted from ANYWHERE. I've got clear memory of the many many postings by all of the PQers saying that I needed to stop my so-called behavior of copy/paste.....well I lost my train of thought...
Apparently those same "notify emma" gremlins are after you now. :) :)
