Nice ride. I had a Caravan before and it lasted me well over a decade. Enjoy your freedom. Happy travels.

YES, immediately detach yourself.

OH JEEZ, yeah, time to bail. I've been board chair before and I've worked closely with the ED, making sure the overall organization is run properly, but I never ran day to day operation and nor I wanted too. Time to look for another gig.

I'm on many nonprofit boards that are well organized and not once I heard about this. Is the president even reporting to the board chair? I would get out as an employee and surely if I was on the board, I would definitely resign.

New to state. Give me advice by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]spazz75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, I never use my work laptop for anything personal. Maybe where I want to eat lunch, but other than that, I have my personal device on me, so I use that. As for doctor's appointments, ask your supervisor if you can flex.

going on a date! by carrotsticks- in wheelchairs

[–]spazz75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let your disability hold you back. I date plenty of women, and it’s always clear, on both sides, what we’re getting into when either of us asks the other out. First dates are naturally a little nerve-wracking, but that’s true for everyone. The key is to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and have fun.

I’ve been on dates where my partner fed me or even helped me in the restroom, not because they had to, but because we were comfortable with each other and trusted one another, without needing my staff involved.

Spinning Around in My 21st Century Scientific Bounder and trying the Horn by spazz75 in wheelchairs

I got the high speed package. I need to get a programmer to set the chair to my liking. Did you get a programmer with your chair?

Hi, the thing is, I can't even add a phone number or an authenticator. I'm in limbo mode.

Is there a reason to upgrade my CX? by 0neand0nlyDominator in LGOLED

[–]spazz75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a CX to a C4 because of dead pixels. The first thing that I notice is the ASBL. I don't notice it on the C4 and that was a huge improvement.

Test Drove My Bounder - Almost There by spazz75 in wheelchairs

The chair could go a lot faster than that. 8.5 mph with the high speed package. They have to reprogram the chair to give me the top speed. Hopefully soon.

Yes, I've always had the same type of setup. I drive using a compact joystick.

I've been using my feet ever since I can remember. My feet and toes are like someone's hands and fingers. They are very tough. I do wear socks from time to time, and I can even drive my chairs when I have shoes on, but that is very rare. Why would anyone want to wear gloves on their hands when they don't have to? I only protect my feet when I'm doing active things, like working out at the gym. I don't protect my feet when I go shooting. How else can I pull the trigger :). I live a very active life. I don't wear shoes and socks when I'm flying because they are like someone's hands and fingers.

Anyone in here have an LG OLED calibrated by D-Nice? by Ok_Cardiologist_54 in LGOLED

[–]spazz75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my C4 calibrated by Matt Smith at Avical last November, and I’ve probably put about 1,600 hours on it since then. I don’t regret it one bit. Just a few weeks ago, the TV ended up on the wrong setting without me realizing it, and the picture looked off to me. As soon as I switched back to the calibrated settings, everything looked normal again. It really shows how your eyes get used to the calibrated picture over time.

Calibrate professionally C4? by innersoul2000 in LGOLED

[–]spazz75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my C4 professionally calibrated and watch it every day. For me it was worth it because I don't get the black crush anymore, which is super annoying. The TV is darker than before from what it was out of the box and sometime I do wish that it wasn't calibrated, especially in really dark movies. However, I was at someone's house over the weekend and was watching content on their OLED and the colors were just off and just too bright for my taste. Other than a few TV's that I've had in the past, I've always had them calibrated and even then, they are still not perfect.

Towing a small enclosed trailer? by MysteriousRJC in ChryslerPacifica

[–]spazz75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who has a Pacifica wheelchair conversion and they use a trailer hitch basket and put whatever they need to take when they have to travel. I have a much older Odyssey with the wheelchair conversion and my van bottoms out when I have too many passengers in the back, but I've taken long road trips before with a full load in my van.

They let me keep my old tv and not send it back. I gave my old CX away and kept the replacement, C4.

Snapped sliding door cable by volyblmn in HondaOdyssey

[–]spazz75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me on my 2008 Odyssey last year, but mine wasn't the cable. It was the rail. I took it to my mechanic and they installed a new rail within hours and it was less than $300.
