    You are right! Thanks. I must tell you, I also mix up my own kids!
    I Liked your idea of giving info on traveling with handicaps. Lots of us have them. I have a few (not just mental) but yours cover a lot more issues. Maybe the section on education? Hey Ken?

    I think the subject is worthy of a blog or whatever that thing is called including here.

    I don't understand how you can even use a computer much less travel.

    @DonAlaska I can type using my prosthetic arms but I also use Siri and text to speech software. Travel needs careful planning but isn’t impossible.

    Probably, the travel category would be the best place for it.

    @Bibbi Wright

    I, too, wondered deeply about this subject, but felt obligated to await information as you felt comfortable giving it. I recall seeing reports years ago about the Thalidomide babies who were born with physical deficiencies as a result of their pregnant mothers being medicated with that drug, which surprisingly, was given "over the counter" status in Germany. In particular, I remember a young woman with no arms who painted beautiful artistic scenes with her feet, using her toes as fingers. Such overcoming of physical impairment is an example of the great resiliency and human ability to overcome setback.
