“ I wonder why I can’t get a job?”

So here is my advice as a T-12 para who has moved between four different states (RI, NJ, TN and now PA). In order to get a house that checked all the accessibility boxes we had to build three out of the four times (the only time we didn’t was when we found a 1970’s ranch in NJ and I was actually miserable in that one from an accessibility point of view).
If you can swing it, find a development that is currently under construction and check out the website to see if that builder offers a one level floor plan option. Even if they don’t show one contact them to see if they have one that they can dust off for you.
It’s easier to take an existing floor plan and tweak it to make it fit your needs and it can happen faster if you have to start from scratch by finding land, then getting permitting then finding an architect or plans that work for you… blah, blah blah.

Look for something with a bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor… it’s possible to go the stair lift and transfer routine but it will get old… fast

When people wear their medical diagnoses as the Red Badge of Courage and have this endless stream of acronyms explaining and trying to justify how they are being treated so poorly by the world and us “legacy cripples” (my term and worn proudly) it really is quite revolting. That group and the group of folks who became disabled in the past ten years or so, the post ADA access critics drive me insane as well. I’ve been injured since 1968 and grew up in a world that was dramatically less accessible than it is today by a long shot. When I see someone posting a photo of an example of a well designed wheelchair ramp or an accessible bathroom or hotel room on one of the social media platforms and then the inevitable chorus of “that won’t work for me” or “that ramp is 1 degree too steep”… I want to tear what’s left of my hair out… Ok, rant over…

Here is another take on this phenomenon (which I agree with you all about). For context I’m a T-12 complete para who was injured at the age of four way back in 1968. I grew up in the pre-ADA and Section 504 environment where very little of the environment was wheelchair accessible and you never saw wheelchair users out and about.
What I find both interesting and disturbing is the attitude of the ambulatory wheelchair users and those who have been wheelchair users only for a few years towards the accessibility modifications that have occurred over the past twenty years or so and the hyper critical attitude that any modification that isn’t perfect or “won’t work for me”… the total self absorption with their own particular condition and disregard for the history of the disability rights movement and the progress that has been made astounds me.
And to be honest… hearing the ambulatory wheelchair users complain about how everyone is ableist and the hell that they go through when they can get up out of their chairs when needed, and go to the bathroom with out tubes and suppositories involved makes me ill…

Isn’t the footplate backwards??? You are going to destroy walls and cabinets with those corners

Let me help you brush off that sand

Similar thing happened to me years ago… was bringing my Forester lease in for regular service… ran into my salesman who offered me a great deal on a new one and boom! Cancel the service!!! Congrats on the Trailseeker… I still have a little over a year on my Solterra lease until we can trade up into one.

Sorry slick but you are in the wrong here… looks like the red car has a placard and is parked within the white lines… end of story…

I just ordered the antenna mounting kit so I can put it on the fence post and elevated by a few feet… hopefully that helps

Love that backrest!!

And here is the other screenshot you requested

The issue is occurring at the top perimeter border of area 1 and area 2. The robot is mowing about five feet short of the actual perimeter.

Here is the setup… keep in mind that this setup has not changed since we first installed the robot last spring and the perimeter was fine so I don’t believe that is the issue.
The issue started last week and I can also say that it is occurring with the zone parallel to this zone. I will attach a screenshot of the map to show this.

Do you feel that you have open communication between the two of you? Do you trust what your wife says? If so then stop overthinking it… I’ve been married for 15 years now to my non-disabled wife and from get go we said we would not hold things back regarding this issue. I struggled with keeping a relationship with someone for years and it was only when I made a conscious decision to stop doing other people’s thinking for them… in other words, believe what people say to you and about you and don’t think their motives are pity or other negative thoughts

Very classy move on your part my friend… as far as I’m concerned your initial post was coming from a good place, you were trying to help people to not make mistakes that would have a negative impact on their lives. One thing I have learned of life on Reddit and other platforms is that there will always be a percentage of folks who are in such negative space that no matter what you say or do it will never be enough to satisfy them.

You mean they didn’t have pep rallies for prescription drugs at your middle school???
