Decisions, Decisions

There should be a reality show about a person with a physical disability trying to make it in the world. Perhaps that might help some of these able bodied people stop whining about stupid and insignificant events and obstacles in their lives.

There are people out there who thrive on drama. I watch some of these reality shows and want to gag! WHO WANTS TO BE A HILTON? Give me a break.

We should have one that says "WHO WANTS TO BE DISABLED?"

We sew their legs together so they cant get up or do anything with their legs. We allow them to keep their car but they cant drive it.

If they live in the city, they will have to deal with the sidewalks and lack of curb cuts.

Actually, we should have them live in NYC. Then we can ask them to go to the famous restaurant "Serendipity" and see how they plan to get down those steps to enter a public restaurant.


Or maybe, we can have the contestants try to get from point A to point B in NYC without using their friends for transportation.

Hmm...how many people would go for it?

Do you think we get to scream YOU'RE FIRED! ?

Darn. Serendipity is near the hotel I'm staying at this weekend, and I was hoping to go there. Do they do take out? Grrr...

Any tips on the Staten Island Ferry? The only thing I can find re: the ferry is "ramps are available for wheelchair access."

I want to be on that reality show, too. And I want someone on it who uses a chair and has one or more kids under 3.

(Manual chair + snugli + diaper bag + any government agency office)=major impossibility

If you have a manual wheelchair and some strong men you can have them carry you down the steps. There are about four steps. The deserts are great!
At night the line is really long for a table. You might want to try the afternoon.
We went with a big group and I have a small chair.

As for the Staten Island Ferry, the ramp I believe is similar to the one on the Disney Riverboat. But I am not sure. Still I think you will enjoy it.

As for the reality show, I am trying to find a way for the magazine to connect with that.
