~I'm Bad!~ :-)

I think since time began anything less than

perfect was either hidden, or destroyed.. Ive

heard of some 3rd world countries that if a child

is born with any kind of defect they are killed

or hidden away till they die so no one knows there

is a flaw in the family.. Even animals if they have

a baby that they seem to know is not perfect, the

mother will abandon and in some cases eat their

young... Sometimes I think some people should do

that too! :-) I'm kidding.. this is a serious subject,

but I HAD to put that cuz it was what I was

thinkin!! :-) I know- I'm bad..:-) anyway...

This movie I saw was about FDR.. Franklin Delano

Roosevelt.. He was stricken with polio when he was

8.. I looked up about him.. He was a great and power

ful man.. all the Roosevelts were, specially Eleanor..

I looked him up on the net.. They, only in the past

few years, put up a actual photo of him in a chair..

But while he was President.. very few ever saw him

in one or were photos taken of him in one.. The

stigmatism was there...Even though he was the

President, our country didn't want to know that he

was less than perfect..

In this movie.. there was a health spa with healing

waters.. mineral springs I guess, in GA, People with

health problems of any kind went there.. mostly

polio people, but other disabilities as well...However

if you only went to just relax, get away, a holiday,

had no health issues, let alone in a wheel chair,,,

you had access to the mineral springs at certain

times.. The people with disabilities could only use

the pool when none of the "PERFECT" guests

were out and could see them. They had separate

dining rooms... The President changed that once

he realized that the spa owners and half the

guests were biased and narrow minded as to not

see People as PEOPLE...

I think one of the best parts of this whole movie,

for me anyway, that I remember the most was the

scene of a young couple.. he worked there as a

waiter.. she was in a wheel chair.. back then polio

was rampant.. I think that's what she had.. she

had legs, but couldn't move them.. They were in

love.. It showed them sitting side by side.. when

he could sneak away to be with her. But the best

scene was when one evening after dinner they

heard the music from the PERFECT guests ball

room.. The boy stood up.. went over to the girl..

He reached down and picked up her hands to

put her arms around his neck.. he lifted her up..

Held her close and they danced.. You could see

the love and the fact she couldn't walk , well

he loved her anyway and he thought of a way

to make her feel PERFECT.. :-) And they danced...

To me it showed no matter what.. imperfections

or what ever.. doesn't matter..to those of us that

really FEEL that way.. like the REAL Devs.. not the

deviate ones that see disabled women or men

as a fetish.. and the main reason I think is for the

word.. CONTROL.. no arms.. how can you fight?

no legs.. you cant run away! Paralyzed.. well you,

you have no way to escape someone that is out to

"Get" you more or less.. I have met some that

say they are devs.. but I don't believe them.. Ive

talked to them at length.. and I really believe for

them.. its all control, want to see the amp on the

floor, in submission more or less and they use

the CONTROL words of "no one else would want

you, so be grateful I do".. Ive heard that!!!

Boy do I get some crap started hey? But I find

all this most interesting.. and I ask questions of

everyone I know.. I think .. truth be known

that perhaps I am a dev myself.. I have NO problem

with disabilities.. I think that's why I went to

nursing school.. I am .. well was.. a LPN.. then an aide.

I loved nursing.. and I think that part of me and

others that have no problem with people that have

a handicap all are devs.. :-) So THERE!!! ;-)

I found the movie..its at AMAZON.. its called Warm

Springs.. If you can see it.. watch it.. its quite good..

I read the reviews about it.. and I have YET to find

one that brings this subject up in any length at all

about the bias towards chair people. There were a

few lines referring to it.. But not many.. I think very

few even realized that about this movie.. well saw

it the way I did...showing disabled ARE human.. that

we love, laugh and feel just like every one that

THINKS they are PERFECT... note > THINKS! :-)

Its not lunch time yet, but I woke up hungry.. Ive

been trying not to snack as much at night while

I'm watching TV.. I learned about drinking any

thing past 6.. If I want to sleep for longer than

3 hours at a time :-) Those midnight potty calls

just wake me up totally then I cant go back to

sleep for at least an hour.. :-) But I have put on

a few pounds.. Penny says no..I havent.. but I
KNOW I have.. my little lap is getting smaller!
That's how I KNOW!! :-)

Anyhoway.. I am most pleased that the past few

blogs have met with such great comments and

mail.. Thanks.. Sometimes I worry I might step

on someones toes.. Wouldn't hurt.. :-) but still...

I wouldn't want to do that.. I just have a way

of saying what I think.. and no one has to really

agree with me either.. these are MY feelings

and what Ive gotten out of all my meetings of

so many different types of people.. :-)

Post time, and food time for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE.... BUT!! "I SHALL RETURN!!! " :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
