You forgot adults walking their dogs. 
3a applies to you, curlcoat: “Financial or other aid provided, especially by the government, to people in need.”. The reason for the need (poverty, disability) is not specified or narrowed down.
You are on welfare.
You may consider this as an insult. I do not.
And of course, not a single Canadian joined the discussion. They are so rare on this board, especially when the discussion is about their country.
2,000 posts!?!? Let’s celebrate!
I guess they are amused and curious. How far will it go?
Hell yeah! 2000+ posts!
…and not picking up all the dog shit that the dog park entitlement freaks prefer to leave in the wake of their entitled group dumps.
Yeah, what is it with dog owners? I’m remembering the huge playground near my house growing up. My dad would always have to scout ahead to make sure there was no dogshit where we were playing.
A few years ago, when I lived in Binghamton and was student teaching in the high school, we had a fire drill. I cannot tell you how many kids came back from walking on the city sidewalks with their shoes caked in dogshit. It was well-nigh unavoidable because there was dog crap everywhere. I’ve had my sleep interrupted by barking dogs far more often than screaming children. It seems to me like dog owners are the entitled assholes. Someone start a pit thread!
Just kidding.
Okay… now show me which of those definitions conflicts with what I’ve explained to you.
Non-terrorist fist bump for post 2000, all!
Aww, shit. :smack:
This shouldn’t count as an actual 50+ page thread…there’s only about 5 pages of actual informative discussion here…tops.
Here ya go! Kind of an odd angle but I wanted to show how much there is and try to get all of the variety of stuff.
I have no idea where to find that sort of thing, or what it has to do with the subject anyway. The best I could find was the annual budget to the city parks dept. There may not be any dog parks in my city anyway - can’t think of any off the top of my head - and the bike trails are not exclusively for bikes in this city either.
Cite?
Because the progression of my disease makes it essentially impossible for me to put in more than 2-3 hours straight. So working from home gave me many more hours and flexibility to get those eight hours per 24 done.
To be fair this is only a 40+ page thread we still have a way to go to break 50. I just don’t see 500 more posts in this; then again I didn’t see the first 500 either. Some one needs to kick a baby down a flight of stairs to keep this think alive.
If you can drive 16 hours in one day, you should get your CDL and become a short-haul trucker. I’m not disabled and I couldn’t sit in a car that long in one day.
Technically, it does. But the reality is that there is no job out there that I could commit to honestly, as I can only work at a desk, for 2-3 hour stretches and the employer would have to be extremely flexible about when I got there and when I left. Know any jobs like that?
:rolleyes: What does my ability to drive a car have to do with it? Even a long trip I still have control over when I drive and when I don’t, whereas when you are working the employer controls when you are there and when you aren’t. Plus, being able to do something for a few hours longer than normal one days doesn’t equate with being able to do it long term.
The thing is? There aren’t any. All there is are people looking for a way to try to “prove” me a troll or a scammer. Do you notice that instead of asking questions about what they don’t get, they instead accuse? Such as you just did.
People on disability are not completely unable to work for the most part. What they are is a group that employers cannot put up with due to whatever special treatment they would need to be able to do that job, any job. Also, the older you are, the less likely they are to want to pay to retrain you since they probably aren’t going to get their money’s worth out of it. Here is social security’s definition of disabled.
And yet, I already have.
I said “toys”.
Now you are just being an idiot.
I didn’t say that.
As opposed to you? :dubious:
You have seen adults barbecuing and playing frisbee in the type of place in the picture I took???
Actually, I’ve given several reasons why tennis courts and bike lanes make more sense, but I don’t think I’ve ever said that I don’t mind paying for them. The original debate was in regards to child specific things that I pay for.
Just because many people use a word incorrectly doesn’t mean they are right. Did you fail to read my link on the subject?
In the thing you quoted I believe that I was quite clear that you weren’t making any sense.
Good, more name calling! Now you know how it feels to talk to you, as my sole purpose in this exchange was to reflect back to you how you sound to me and a lot of other people in this thread. I actually don’t begrudge the tennis players their courts or the bike riders their lanes. You are the one begrudging people things, irrationally, and without good reason, because of your bigotry against children.
As I said before, I know lots of people who dislike children, wouldn’t want any, and seek not to be around them if they can avoid it. I myself currently have no offspring and mislike many of the things people have complained of in other threads about annoying kids. I manage to maintain decades-long friendships with them with nary an insult or argument on the subject. However, you take it to a level that is unreasonable, spiteful, and petty. THAT is why people are picking on you about your disability and giving you so much shit. I know you will never acknowledge this or take any responsibility for the reception you’ve gotten here, but that’s my take on it.
:rolleyes: You know what “need” means.
I am on nothing.
More :rolleyes: - yeah, I can really tell the way you talk about it.

I didn’t drive 16 hours in one day. Also, there is no way that I can steer a big truck.
