Actually, my beloveds use that as a nickname for me, and she's not the first person to do so.

And I am of Rooshian descent...

Dear Snood,

Well, I am sorry you don't see differently-abled as a better way to speak of the maimed, crippled or those visibly unable to cope with the average world around them than to name it as a disability or handicap.

I think that to talk of an inability to accomplish something without adaptations as a DIS anything robs the person of their achievment. I have been asked by those same individuals not to call them disabled or handicapped. I bow to their request and not for the sake of political correctness but out of respect for them.

So, for the sake of perhaps calling a blind man visually impaired, I do hope you see my considerations behind using the term, differently-abled. I understand your view, too, by the way.

My stepson should be setting up my new broadband this week end so if I go quiet for a while that's the cause .... do be good while I am away!
 
Always nice to drop in after Senna's been by. Looks like a saloon in Gunsmoke. Who bled all over the naugahide?

Best make mine a double.

Actually I didn't drop in to trade pleasantries with Guruji.

If you have 15 minutes to burn (and maybe more) have a look at this and see if you can locate your tribe. Nothing from Kansas or Kingston but maybe soon...

I do find the phrase 'differently abled' a little strange to use, but the bottom line is, people get to designate what they want to be called, and we all get to just do that, because everyone gets to name him or herself. We have that right.

It does sometimes get silly, but in this case, having worked with the "differently abled" as well as the "visually impaired" for many years in various jobs and gigs, I can sorta see the point in that community's fight for some new terminology.

Snood, I think you may have come across as slightly more crotchety than you intended. My instinct is to say that you'd be the first to respect both terminology and the people who wear it. But I suspect it's all okay now.

Has someone been telling Senna I don't like him again?

And really. We just got finished with one silly conflict. I'd hate to see another one blow up just when we're coming back to something like peace. Remember that the ONLY rule in the Bistro is "BE KIND."

And by the way, you must all refer to me as a Swedish American from now on. Or a Cracker. Either is acceptable. Mayonnaise-Eating White-Bread Peckerwood would also be alright. The Bistro is nothing if not Politically Correct.

Accepted, although I see disabled and inability as semantically very similar. As for handicapped, it derives from "cap in hand," and implies a beggarly status. Quite right not to use it.

I apologize for going off; perhaps I should not post 'til after my second cup o' java.

I do understand the position from which you come, and ask that you understand that anything hinting of PC rubs me wrong. I fought a long and bitter cultural war against PC (and Disco) and still have the mental scars.

Certainly I respect your choices, and too your respect for the wishes of others.

Still, were not a missing hand a disability (the removal or lack of an ability - say to clap hands) would we need to make allowances?

I myself suffer from a minor disability - exertion-induced asthma caused by beryllium poisoning - and it played Hob with my early life. I was introduced to the word malingering by a quack "physician" at St. Bernardine's Hospital, who pronounced that diagnosis as the reason for which I was not Super Jock.

My father sided with him, and school sucked badly 'til I dropped out and fled to college. But I digress.

Buttons, sore spots and consideration. I love you, you love Bijou, she loves Tzara et cetera.

Have a truly happy,

Snood

Bijou loves everybody.

Including you, ya crotchety hairball. And Champy of course. And others.

For different reasons, and in different ways.

But you're all my heroes.

Yawning is not attacking. It means that you are boring. There is a name for people who don't understand words which they and others write. Or are you a hypocrite and a liar? Have your pick.

Senna:

You are breaking the ONLY RULE in the Bistro. You are being UN KIND.

If you simply MUST behave this way, take it to the parking lot thread where it belongs. UYS and SafeBet have already done so.

I run a clean place here, and a friendly one. There are four hundred other threads available to you. If there is arguing to be done, please use them instead.

In here, we're busy having cake today, and lighting candles for people who need them.

Here. Have some cake.
MMmmmmm. Cake.

Well said, proprietor. It is a fair rule and one we all should agree with to make this a "clean" and "friendly" place.

I promise not to spike yours with laxatives and antidepressants unless your Sir suggests it.

and by the way, I expect every juicy detail in a PM by the time I get in tomorrow, young lady. I must go for today, sadly. It's been, well, a slice.

of cake.

Someone be sure to set a piece aside for Arnold if he shows up. Thinkin' he might enjoy a little cake. And you needn't set out a fork for the Snood. He eats with his paws.
