it's those damn pharmaceutical companies. they've figured out how to chemically induce these forums to get a gimp addicted to something. what you can't get in a pill, you can get here.

Well, As a "newbie" I think it's great. I've tried 2 other"sites" that I was disappointed with. I also think we should thank Simon for a lot of it .He has become a teacher , a chaperon, a guidance councilor, tech. assist., and administrator.
Keep up the good work Simon! And ,may be one day someone will be in the chat room when I check.I'll keep coming back ,I hust be getting hooked too.
Thanks alot Simon!

No Gus I dont think its the Pharmacuetical Companies. I think its just the lack of knowledge that general population really has, in terms of SCI's. No one knows whats its like. No one can understand our feelings inside and out, like other victims. I tried out some other SCI Support Forums also, and didnt like them! I go look at those forums periodically and they are still just the same as I left them back in June. No new post, or replies. Just a bunch of deadbeats. Apparelyzed.com is kick ass. Simon is totally on to something here. He's indeed done a great job!

...and so say all of us.

Excuse my sick sense of humor. In my time and experiences, I've finally just fingered that if you can't laugh at it, then what's it worth. And you know what? People like us going through life changing events as such do have to deal with a world who IS mostly nieve of the lives we have to live everyday, what we have gone through, are going through, and will have to go through in the future. But it's people like us who get to open peoples eyes, touch lives, inspire, and show that life has many different circumstances set forth for people to endure, but that life can go on. It's also up to us to get past the vanity that our society seems to live in, live as close to a "normal" life as we can, and to open people up. I see it everyday. People completely inspired and in Ah of the lives we have to live. Shoot, I'm completely inspired by others in the same situation as I. I know you say "know one knows what it is like," which is true, but we can try to tell and explain in anyway you can what you think it is like. In time, I've found that most people are curious to know and even more willing to help. Ever felt that feeling, in class maybe, helping teach another student something you understand a little better than they do and kind of how good it'd feel when you're able to help them? How it'd kind of give you a lift being able to help someone when they needed it? I think anyone can understand someone elses feelings inside in and out if you just let them if they are willing to listen. Everyone has deep feelings inside and out and no one knows what another is going through no matter what the situation and I think everyone is capable of feeling someone elses feelings when they are open to them. One of those mutual feeling things...kind of like love or even friendship. You're not going to make a connection with everyone, but even one is someone.
k done with my speech for today, lol. Geez, what am I saying. I'm starting to feel like some sort of guru or something. I'm just a newbie, to the forums, but not quite a newbie to this experience. And yes, thank you Simon for starting all this cause god knows what goes through my mind and in here I've been able to release some of it.

Im a loser, and have no idea how to quote others on this page. I see the option. It goes red.. I dont know what to do! Too much pressure, I cant preform.

so.. Gus you said "In time, I've found that most people are curious to know and even more willing to help. Ever felt that feeling, in class maybe, helping teach another student something you understand a little better than they do and kind of how good it'd feel when you're able to help them? "

I say " The last time I tutored a girl in school, it was my cousin. I had to teach her algebra. She went on to advanced placement I ended up back in 'pre-algebra' I tested straight into algebra for college, ( I dont know how) then had to take that class 3 times before I passed.

Teaching never got me anywhere, I guess since I failed that class afterwards, I could fail at an SCI? Would that mean it goes away though? Im not sure?

Well if you think about it, you did not fail. That little bit of intervention IS part of the reason she was able to advance the way she did. I'm sure there are others in your life that you have touched and helped without even knowing it. And now that you have a new way of living and looking at life, you'll learn more and have even more to offer another. Being fairly new with your injury, the next couple of years will probably consist mostly with finding your own way to doing things and live with this. Now I don't think it's all limited to hands on teaching one another, but sometimes it could be just a word of encouragement, or like helping a friend through a rough breakup when you might already know what its like. Life has many lessons that comes in many different forms. We've been put in a position as teachers, I believe, to help open others eyes. In a way, we are like the next minorities in the world and here not to show race or religion, but to show how quickly lives can be completely changed in a heartbeat but, as I've said before, that life can go on.

k well now mind is going off on a cosmic journey so i'll stop there.
