Rock N Roll Fridays – Three Dog Night

1. Black and White: “The world is black The world is white
It turns by day and then by night The child is black The child is white
Together they grow to see the light To see the light”

What are your favorite black and white items?
Books

2. Joy To The World: “If I were the King of the world, Tell you what I’d do,
I’d throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And make sweet love to you”

What would YOU do if you were King of the World?
Abolish curbs. Make railings required for all stairs… and give people more mandatory vacation days from work!

3. Easy To Be Hard: “How can people have no feelings, How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no”

Have you ever ignored a friend?
Yes… sometimes I am just not in the mood to deal with anyone.


4. Old Fashioned Love Song: “Just an old-fashioned love song, One I’m sure they wrote for you and me, Just an old-fashioned love song, Comin’ down in 3-part harmony”

What song do you think was written about you?
My mind is completely blank and I can’t think of any song I can even relate to right now! lol 


5. Out In The Country: “Before the breathin’ air is gone, Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime, Out where the rivers like to run, I stand alone and take back somethin’ worth rememberin’”

When was the last time you took back something worth rememberin?
I don’t know.

6. Family of Man: “Memories replacing the loves that we’ve lost, Burning our bridges as soon as they’re crossed, Factories built where the rivers ran, And time running out for the family of man”

Since the nuclear plant tragedy in Japan, what alternate power source would you prefer?
Wind? Solar? Water?

7. Shambala: “Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind, On the road to Shambala,
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind, On the road to Shambala”

Where have you been where everyone is overly friendly?
The south

8. Eli’s Comin: “Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli’s a-comin’ and the cards say… a broken heart”

What good advice did you ignore and then later regret?
Nothing that I can think of off hand.

9. One
: “It’s just no good anymore since she went away, Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday”

Can you make up a rhyme?
No. Poetry in school was one of the things I dreaded because anything I wrote came out ridiculous!


10. Never Been To Spain: “Well I never been to heaven, But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there, But I really don’t remember”

What is your earliest memory as a child/baby?
Being in my crib and angry that I was in there. My mom is convinced I made this up… but I can describe the room and everything is accurate so… 

11. Mama Told Me Not To Come: “Just open the window brother, and let me catch my breath”

Where was the last really stinky place you were in?
New York City, I guess

12. One Man Band: “Here I am, take my hand, I’m your man, Baby, let me be your one man band”

Do you play an instrument?
No. I tried to play the clarinet in middle school but that didn’t go so well and I haven’t attempted anything else since


13. Liar: “You’ve taken my life, so take my soul, That’s what you said and I believed it all
I want to be with you as long, As you want me to, I won’t move away
Ain’t that what you said?”

When was the last time you were lied to?
I feel like I am lied to a lot, but I might just be paranoid.  Years of being bullied have really messed with me so I have major trust issues

NMEDA – National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association

This post brought to you by NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Living with Cerebral Palsy, I know first hand that no two people with a disability are exactly a like and it is important to find the right equipment for you.

NMEDA is a non-profit trade association; they educate consumers on buying products from a NMEDA qualified dealer.  NMEDA does not sell anything, they are the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people.  They are non-profit and their members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  NMEDA dealers (members) are the ones who sell handicapped vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people.

Beware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the Internet or through catalogs.  After a personalized “in-person” evaluation, you can be sure you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs.  If you need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is there to help you.

The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry.  It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality.

Go to NMEDA and on the homepage, hit the dealers locator and type in your ZIP code to see if there is a qualified dealer near you.  Leave me a comment letting me know where your closest qualified dealer is!  My state of Connecticut has 4 locations 45 minutes or less away from where I live!

Charity Week: Blogs for a Cause

From Just bcause, I found out about Blogs for a Cause.  I have worked with Nikki, she designed the header for my wordpress blog layout (which you will all hopefully see soon!) Nikki charges $30 for her design with $25 going towards her humanitarian work and $5 going towards her charity of the month.  If you would like a “scrapbook” type design, you must also provide the digital scrapbook kit.  Kits cost anywhere between $3-$7 depending on which set you choose. Nikki has a list of several websites to choose from as well. (The Charity Week image I made from the scrapbook kit I bought for my header. Who knew I could make something that looked that cool!?)

I emailed Nikki in the afternoon asking about her making me a header and by that evening the work and design was completed!  It was great working with Nikki and I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a layout!
