No AC. I've got a fan on, though.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ehlers-Danlos here.
Hey, that's my thing too. Cool to meet someone else with it. (Isn't it interesting being 1 in 20,000?)
I've kind of gone back and forth over whether I think of it as a disability
I didn't always. But with using a wheelchair in more recent times, and not being able to get out of bed a fair bit of the time, I accepted the inevitable. Besides, disability pride!
It is a variable one, though, isn't it? Splints etc are annoying as hell. As is dislocating shoulders etc.
And talking of disability, I'm off to NAIDEX today. Which is a very good thing, because I need some adapted kitchen equipment (and I want to play with walking aids). I'm now breaking so many glasses, I'm injuring my other half (she cut her knee cleaning up all the shards of glass yesterday). We think plastic may be the answer.
Shir, statistics suck. At least you got rid of them though. Happy Independence Day!

Huh, this brings the total of ED people I know (four from online) to five. (at this rate, I am suspecting that historically, ED may have been way underdiagnosed.)

Oh hell yes. I've discovered that I can't write on a blackboard with a wrist brace on, so on days when I'm wearing it, I need to take it off when I teach, which then just leads to messing up my wrist some more.

Thanks, Seska.

Huh. I've never met anyone else with it, except for in forums specifically for EDS and hypermobility.

OMG, I'm done with the statistics for this week!
(Well, only because they're so fucking stupid with the way they're phrasing the questions, so I found an extremely easy way out of a question - "according to the material, I can't use this function to calculate variables of that type". Reading comprehension DOES help. Though I wouldn't risk it if they would grade me on it, and go according to what I presume they meant us to do).
Now, to uni. Here's hoping I'll find a computer with Open Office on it.

My computer has is. But I don't have a printer. Uni has printers, but they took out Open Office in most of the computers.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Uni has printers, but they took out Open Office in most of the computers.
Their reasoning being since it's free they don't have to pay for it, and since they didn't pay for it it's stolen?
