New To Site – Now What?
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..

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…
-
@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.

@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! 🙂
-
@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.

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

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

Hey there! Have you connected with anyone yet? Youn can ask away or browse through some interesting and helpful information in the forum.
-
No not yet
-
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?

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

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.

I like to read and journaling, and making rubber band

I love to bake

Hi what kind of disability do u have
-
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
-
Hi that is awesome that you have proven doctors wrong. Do u like scary movies
-
Our body is ours, and no one can limit what we can or cannot do. Keep proving them wrong.
Wishing you the best
-
Yes that is true

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
-
So sorry to hear that
-
I’m feeling much better at the moment but thank you. I hope you had a great day
-
I did and I had a great Thanksgiving hope u did too
-
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.

Went to church tonight. Cool and great
