Regarding the last one, I'm wondering about "accepting". Seems like there's a loophole there where folks could argue that if you didn't actually ACT on the advice, then you hadn't accepted it so they hadn't legitimately incurred a charge. ;-) Perhaps "receiving"?
Related to above, I'd be very tempted to put some EULA-like legalese fine print underneath. Something to the effect of "By choosing to be inspired/ask invasive questions/offer unsolicited medical advice/be unworthy, you are deemed to have read and accepted these terms and conditions." Or is that toooooo wicked of me? :-)
I do miss skirts. My wardrobe is full of longish, flowy, fish-tailed or asymmetrical skirts which looked GREAT on me when I was still wobbling around (the shared asymmetry between self and garment appealed to me--still does, I have quite the collection of one-shoulder tops). Now that I use the wheelchair 95% of the time in the house and 100% of the time outside the house, those poor lovelies just aren't getting worn. But wow, are my boots lasting! CHEAP boots, too, the kind that are inclined to fall apart after a year or so's use? Not if you don't walk in 'em. :-D
I'm vaguely thinking about jewellery lately, things I can still wear without interfering with pushing. (Well, perhaps 'interfering' is a bit strong, but I find the bumping of a ring or bracelet against the pushrims irritating.) Summer's here. Bring on the anklets! And I'm on the lookout for those upper-arm cuff things, you know? I like my arms bare when pushing, and it seems like they'd highlight the one part of my body where I actually have some visible muscle. I have some made out of stretchy rubber chainmail stuff which are fun, but I'm keeping an eye open for something a little more upmarket.
