2. I have too much time.
I'm disabled. This infernal machine is my link to the world, and it massages my brain cells, keeping them alive!

3. Can you imagine disability without internet access?
I'm disabled, too. I visited a man in the VA who had lived for 17 years in one room, sleeping in a bed that rotated once every 30 minutes to keep pressure ulcers at bay. He had a television and that was it. I offered to come by to read books and keep him company. He waved me off and went back to watching television.

In January I plan on returning to school to get a Master's degree in social work. I hope to work at the VA counseling newly disabled veterans. (I'm a disabled veteran, so this is my way of giving back.)
