I just joined the site and it appears that some parts of the site are not working. I have created a profile and uploaded a picture.

Now what?

Hello there, I joined the site about 2 months ago and noticed that the site does need some help. It is a good idea they have going here but it needs more people and a better version or app for this site. It is so true that folks that struggle with any type of disability do get judged and discarded by main stream society. I am still poking around this site for people of any age or type of disability that would just enjoy a conversation. Obviously everyone here would like to find a partner and I think it is a great idea to network all of us who do struggle with a disability, we are more accepting of one another. If nothing else we can build a network of good friends and if a partner type relationship comes from it then that is awesome too.
I noticed it has been a couple months since you started this forum so I hope you do get a notification to read this message. Please do feel free to contact me back any time. Have an awesome day.

yes i do believe as you do to create a social arrangement online, and must end stigmas that exist. I am looking for someone but it seems my disability gets in the way, usually I change in the eyes of the other person. I wanted to open a conversation with you and engage with you on the ailments as we are both on the same page with them.

Hmm,, right.. I have been here for over 3 years but the site is not yet fully functional..

[keithw77]

Almost a week and I’m still looking to meet people. I know there is bound to be more people out there who want to talk or even who is ready for a relationship. I have a brain injury but I am not brain dead! I am not into this for games or to be played. It is so difficult to find an intelligent woman

I just signed up today and I’m a bit disappointed to see that these forums are lacking. There seems to be quite a lot of members but there aren’t many options to have much of a community. Just looking at people’s profiles and such. Like everyone else, I’m interested in a significant other but I’m also very interested in just communicating with the community…

[sarahmarunowski]

@Cavyboo me too ;-;…I’ve honestly found people more interested in what I have to say on Christian websites than on here, that’s why I haven’t been logging in, cause it seems like most people on here don’t know how to properly use a networking/dating website, not being mean just saying the truth cause it is true: I’m a “high-functioning person”, I have disabilities but they are mild and I have the skills to be able to live on my own. Maybe I should leave this website, lol.

[cavyboo]

@sarahmarunowski Yeah, I think I’m going to cancel my membership after just a few days, there’s just no point in keeping it. The site is sorely lacking to help facilitate a community feel like the site boasts that it has. It definitely doesn’t have a community to speak of. So sad. It makes me want to make my own website all about the “disabled” community rather than dating and if someone finds a significant other through those means, that would be awesome. Maybe that’s just me since I was first and foremost looking to simply discuss topics with other people who have similar experiences to mine. I tried this website since it seemed the most popular, but I also hate the name… “Special” Bridge… seriously?! Arg! Thanks for the reply and good luck out there! 🙂

[sarahmarunowski]

@cavyboo sure no problem ^_^, yeah if you made a website where it’s just about talking, and not dating that would be cool. Thanks and hope everything goes well for you too.

[keithw77]

hey Sarah. Name is Keith from North Carolina. How are you? and my Email is kwhitak@yahoo.com

[sarahmarunowski]

@keithw77, never, NEVER, give out your email, really bad idea, you don’t know who might try to use your email to login into websites you signed up on.

[keithw77]

It’s a bad habit. Honestly I’m not sure what to expect but I guess one thing was proven, Someone does read this site. I need to get mem again but I am hesitant because I’m not sure if anyone actually wants to talk let alone build a relationship. Personally, I’m tired of getting devastated or played a fool just because I have a brain injury. I myself am a high functioning person though my back is killing me where I fell and landed across a dining room chair on my back. I’ll be ok though. So what about yourself? What are some things about you? I’m 42 and have many interest with a few hobbies from Animals to electronics to literature.

I have aspergers

[smancent]

Hey there! Have you connected with anyone yet? Youn can ask away or browse through some interesting and helpful information in the forum.

[patriotic1]

No not yet

[keithw77]

Hey y’all. Hows it going? I’m doing ok. I’m just sitting here passing time answering the phone in ridiculous ways at scams. So patriotic one, mind telling me a bit more about yourself?

[patriotic1]

I am 39 years old and have aspergers which is a form ofautism

[keithw77]

Hey, good evening. Hope you are doing well. What kinds of things do you do for fun? I have several hobbies from amateur radio to cooking to computers. I try to push myself beyond even what I think I can do just to keep myself learning. I am not a genius by any means but I try to build on my intelligence. You look like you are pretty intelligent. That is one attribute I am looking for. I am not looking for perfection. Honestly, that does not exist. I am also looking for someone who is not afraid to call. I don’t mind texting but it is not the best with carpal tunnel which is why I’m back and forth from lap top on table to the desk top PC. I do love my ham radio. I going to begin studying for “Extra” soon. I am a “general” right now. I’m the middle license. Like I think told you, I do love to cook.

[patriotic1]

I like to read and journaling, and making rubber band

[patriotic1]

I love to bake

[patriotic1]

Hi what kind of disability do u have

[keithw77]

Good evening. I have a traumatic brain injury as of 1996 from auto accident. I’m proving all the doctors wrong every day by doing things none thought I would ever do. I do have limitations however. My left side is not as strong as it used to be. I do drive again however

[patriotic1]

Hi that is awesome that you have proven doctors wrong. Do u like scary movies

[macveery]

Our body is ours, and no one can limit what we can or cannot do. Keep proving them wrong.

Wishing you the best

[patriotic1]

Yes that is true

[keithw77]

Good morning. I’m doing pretty well so far today. My back is giving me a fit but I took some prescribed meds. I messed up my back not from the accident but I was using a kitchen chair as a step stool, lost my balance and fell on the chair where it went across my lower back. I got lucky as it didn’t cause any severe ramifications but I do deal with back pain and my left leg gets cold and does turn to a red color but it goes back to normal. Today, I am contemplating on rebuilding this old PC over here and using it for ham radio. I have to get a new disc drive for it but It’s the same specs as a cyber power gaming PC. It has AMD quad core processor and Nvidia graphics card

[patriotic1]

So sorry to hear that

[keithw77]

I’m feeling much better at the moment but thank you. I hope you had a great day

[patriotic1]

I did and I had a great Thanksgiving hope u did too

[keithw77]

Yeah. I brought a lot of it home with me but the cat helped me with the turkey! I think I gained 10 pounds but I have a year to loose it. So what are you doing today? I am not really doing much of anything. I got back from church and fixed me a bite to eat. Now I’m at PC and fixing to cut the ham radio on. As far as Thanksgiving goes, It was fun.
