That’s an excellent visual, that I will be enjoying the rest of the day

Whoops, I didn’t mean I park in the loading zone just where the loading zone is

I park by the loading zone and walk straight in the doors where the registers are. Turn right to the other entrance, and there’s a little hidden door by the restrooms where the marketplace is. BAM! I’m exactly where I need to be and when I check out my car is right there

Experienced IKEA people know to start straight in the marketplace and they know how to navigate through departments they don’t want to be bothered with. At this point I can get in and out of an IKEA in less than a half an hour and that’s including the store with the groceries in it. I only get slow down if I want something too big for me to wrestle with and I need help loading the cart.

I think it’s really disturbing that’s it’s some thing that you thought of

I bet if you ask a lot of people where the source of expressions that they use came from they be completely clueless.

You got it. Hopefully people will read this and understand.

My stepmother’s teeth scraped the fork or spoon every time she took a bite It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. It would get to the point where I could barely sit at the table while she ate. I don’t think she did it on purpose as much as it was a habit she didn’t think about.

Apparently, disabled accessibility is not something they’re worried about

This.

This is also why it makes zero difference if you’re wearing clean underwear when you die.

That depends. Are you talking about an event that only has two teams? An event like a tennis open where you might support a specific player but overall you just enjoy good tennis is not a disappointment. Or in an Olympics where it doesn’t make any difference necessarily who wins as long as it’s your country but you’re going up against multiple countries competing so less than half or more than half depending will be disappointing.

If you have a good relationship with him, ask him questions and stories. And if he’s willing, record them. Ask him his favorite school memory, or about when you were born, or his first prom date. You have no idea how valuable the stories will be when you can no longer ask. And even better for a video that you can enjoy. The history of you is gone when your parents are gone, so whatever questions you want to ask about his past or yours-— now is the time.

I gave my father a blank journal, and I told him that anytime he thought of some piece of wisdom or a little anecdote that he wanted to share, he should write in it. He thought it was stupid at first, but then he really got into it, and I treasure it.

Originally, it sounded like you were saying that ambidextrous people were disabled, and although you have tried to walk it back, I think it is an uphill task, and I’m not entirely certain it’s going to be worth the effort

I don’t understand why being able to use both hands equally would be considered a disability. What denial exists there?

And I’m not being snarky. But if I were blind but could only see shapes would I understand if that the shape was a sign that I should put my hands on, on the off chance it had something in braille?

Nicely done!
