Ok I don't mind 'sorry we are unable to complete your request' on blogger occassionally. But for the past twenty four hours I have tried to comment on some of my very favourite blogs. Blogger will just not let me. So I am interested in sustainability and wrote as usual a long comment last night and then again tonight and I blogger is unable again to complete my request. Others have also nearly got me and my comments littering the blogosphere. There seems to be no reason for this and I have checked. So for tonight I am off to watch a DVD because I am getting cross now.
Just thought I'd say.
... snippets of my day, about living well with a hidden disability known as Ehlers Danlos. Here I can be me, bent and broken in body but never in spirit.

BendyGirl on the radio.... plus my rant....
Just here for a moment I know I haven't been blogging - its boring but I am ill.
Just popped in to say - proud to hear bendy girl on Radio 4 You & Yours this lunchtime just saddened that she didn't get more air time.
If you go to the link below you will be able to listen. However, be very aware that an individual named Mark Littlewood may upset you a great deal with his views on what the disabled should do with their lives.
Oh and I could write a really long ranty post about how he upset me personally - Insurance agaisnt my disability. I am 46 should my mother have insured in pregnancy that I was not born disabled.
I know I shouldn't be shocked but I was astounded of the bigotry that exists in this country still. Some of the callers were profoundly shocking in their views on the disabled. We should not go out, we should not socialise? I beg your pardon. Suprised they were given air time, why are people like this given so much airtime when actually I think they could possibly be breaking the law under the DDA, if these remarks were made at other minorities it would be a criminal offence.
But it seems its OK to suggest that disabled people should not go out, have friends, etc.... shocked and saddened.
Oh and by the way to the callers who think I shouldn't go out etc. much of the time I cannot because I am in too much ^&*(*&^%$ pain, plus other disabling 'afflictions' as Mark Littlewood describes a disability.
Far too angry to write anymore, probably a good job too.
