Totally agree, bro. It shouldn't take someone being in the position in order to try and feel what its like, but sadly in the world we live in.. it often does. Maybe someday, that'll change, but I don't see it anytime soon. and actually Nash, your right (At least by Michigan law with an asterisk next to it) if a building is under a certain number of years old.. they are required to make adjustments to make it HC accessible, but if it's been around its "Grandfathered In" and able to avoid having to make the changes. <-- something wrong with that That'd be awesome if Tay would do that and that video is cool, bro! I've actually went a couple times myself (I actually have a lot of Indian blood in me/my family)

It is a shame that it takes someone with power(money) to make things happen.
Guess what happened yesterday???
Some hippy feller walked through our hometown...coming from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
He was spreading the word of the silence of people with disabilities.
He was on a mission...fighting the good fight...the power of one.
It was really inspiring to see him walking in 95 degree heat...a smile all the way.
Oh so Jeffery...you say that you have a little Indian in you huh?
Just wondering what are you going to name it?
Sorry...that is just one of my dads favorite jokes...he also laughed at "All In The Family"!
Jus sos you knows... bro!

That's awesome! You'd think with all the social media usage these days, that it'd be easier to reach the masses, but when it comes to disability activism, it seems to lag. Hope that changes. And haha I didn't get her name! Lol

Potential Astros playoff run causes Taylor Swift to reschedule Houston concert
Last December, when Taylor Swift announced a concert at Houston's Minute Maid Park for her current tour, the Houston Astros put their own asterisk on it, writing, "Note: the date of the Taylor Swift 1989 tour show at MMP is subject to change if it conflicts with an Astros postseason home game."
The Astros were widely mocked for this disclaimer. After all, they had lost 92 games that year and 100+ in each of the three previous years. Postseason baseball in Houston? LOLOLOL. Well, guess who's laughing now?
Swift's camp and the Astros announced Monday that her Houston date has been rescheduled, from Oct. 13 to Sept. 9, to avoid any possible conflict with postseason baseball for the Astros. Because, if you haven't been paying attention the past four months, yes, the Astros are good. They're the surprise team of the 2015 MLB season, in fact, and have a legit chance to be playing in October.
The Astros are 55-45, a game back in the AL West and they would be a wild-card team if the season ended today. They also spent most of the first half in first place and could very well end up there again, especially after acquiring starting pitcher Scott Kazmir last week.
Consider this sweet victory for the Astros. These were just a few of the replies the Astros got in back in December, when they suggested a playoff run could displace Swift at Minute Maid Park: There are a few blank spaces on the Astros apology list, guys, and we'll write your name.

Taylor Swift expertly trolls Katy Perry by dancing with “Left Shark”
Pop megastars Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have become embroiled in a tense feud over allegations that Perry stole Swift’s backup dancers. Or, at least we think. Neither singer has directly acknowledged their beef, but both have done little to extinguish the flames.
Perry seemingly referred to Swift as “Regina George in sheep’s clothing” a few months back, a reference to the villain in the film Mean Girls. Swift then swiftly responded with “Bad Blood”, a diss track targeted at “an unnamed female artist had crossed her one too many times,” who many assumed to be Perry.
The rivalry continued last week, when Perry openly mocked Swift for inserting herself into Nicki Minaj’s controversial snubbing by the MTV VMAs. Minaj accused the awards show of failing to recognize the talents of black women, which Swift mistakenly took to be a personal attack. “I’ve done nothing but love & support you,” Swift tweeted at Minaj. “It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.” Which prompted Perry to tweet, “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…”
Now, Swift has responded to Perry with some grade A trolling. While performing “Bad Blood” during a gig in Foxborough, MA over the weekend, Swift briefly danced alongside a projection of “Left Shark”, the costumed fish that stole the show at Perry’s Super Bowl Halftime performance earlier this year. Like I said, grade A trolling.

Yes Jeffery you would think that this cause would take the forefront of most all other causes.
You know that I have paid taxes all of my life...not for people to live off of the government dollar.
I know many people who draw what they call crazy check...perfectly healthy...but crazy I suppose.
It would seem that I should have a little say about where the money is spent.
I am hoping that our next Commander in Chief...looks inside to see how we can improve.
Along with repairing our infrastructure they should build things with challenged folks in mind.
It saddenes me to think about all the things that could be done...but isn't.
As Taylor continues her climb...she garners even more power.
I'mma gonna write BMLG and cry on their shoulder about this...I am positive that Taylor would help...positive!

Totally understand what you mean.. It's kind of a catch 22. I'm sure there are some that do deserve the mental payment, but it's so uncertain.. With that being an easy "in" for $, almost anyone can claim it. It's sad because it makes the very serious topic of mental illness.. Taboo being that many times it can't be physically seen, so your left with a group of individuals silenced because of group of people who take advantage of the system and make the real sufferers look bad. It's just sad, no easy fix.

Hey nash -I'm switching from George's thread. I thought you already had tickets for the two Taylor shows. If you want to visit your friends there, fine...................but......I wouldn't go there hoping to get tickets.
I've been here in Denver for awhile, but thanks for the welcome to Colorado. I'm at work now. I didn't know you were a native.

It truly is no easy fix Jeff...but I have been thinking a bit...I think that we could try in baby steps.
Gravity is a powerful force...one of those things that are invisible but so important to our survival.
Now I was wondering if you have ever hung upside down by your heels.
It seems to me that it would naturally stretch the muscles that you just cant exercise.
Sometimes the most simple things work the best...this may not be as simple as it sounds.
This issue needs to be in the forefront...and now seems to be the time to move forward with it.

Welcome Kora to the best thread in the Forum...in the non country section of coarse.
Now if Jo was to come back we could...how can I say it...be happy!
Well I am happy Kora...please meet my best buddy...Jeffery Van Dyke.
Jeff please meet Kora Strait from Colorado...my home state!
BTW...My friend "Denver Dave" has front row seats for Jackson Browne in Red Rocks in August.
BTW...I gave him that name years ago...I don't even know why I told ya all this.
Oh tickets...if my compass is reading right...I will either get into the concert...or not!
Positive thinking is worth a bunch!

Now for a rock tune...I ran across this tune by Ozzy and Lita Ford...so intimate.
Before you watch ...remember that Ozzy did not know if he remembered the song or not.
I got to meet Lita Ford in Santa Monica when she was with the Runaways.
What a night...they were filming a video on Venice Beach...we got to watch.
Now they are all old and stuff. ;(
My... my...my how time flies...but a song is a one way expressway to the memories!
Enjoy!!!
