There is the annual disability products/services convention in Santa Clara in a couple of weekends. I am going to pay special attention to the ABs this time.... Hey, I've been there! I went back in 2002 when I was dating Rollerboy, we went together. I don't recall seeing many hot guys there, sorry Matisse, you're a little out of my age range. And aren't you married, anyway? As I recall, there weren't many customers, the whole thing was rather sparsely attended. At one point, Rollerboy was trying out a handcycle, and even though he's a c7 quad, he was totally smoking another guy with a much lower injury. The other guy's wife and some other women were watching, and she asked me if he had been athletic before his accident. I said I didn't really know, we had only been dating a few months, and he was injured 8 years before. She was totally shocked--apparently it never occured to her that I was anything other than the martyred wife, like a girl would never have a casual fling with an SCI guy. Ha ha! So when exactly is the Expo this year? Maybe I should stop by to represent the hot devos ;D

The east coast Abilities Expo is held at the convention center in Edison, New Jersey and is very, very large. All of the major health service, rehab, technology and other providers are represented. Several hotels host visitors who come from all over the Eastern seaboard and tri-state areas. There is also one in Washinton DC and in Texas. You can Google "abilities expo 2006" and see what turns up. Never mind, don't bother to Google. www.abilitiesexpo.com/IAEBrandManager/v42/index.cvn

Here's the info on the Santa Clara Abilities Expo: noc.abilitiesexpo.com/iaenoc/v42/index.cvnIt's about an hour south of San Francisco. Hm, maybe I should go! I feel creepy going by myself though. Maybe I can shanghai the Mantis into accompanying me, to give me some crip cred. Unless you want to meet me there, Jason!

Ah, Leilia sounds like you would indeed be perfect for a Stealthy Lover, competitive absent boyfriend, etc..keep your eyes open. Really, I'd like to find a lazy girl-someone who just likes to lay around and read, watch movies...but theyre a bit rare. People are into stimulation, action, go go go.

Too bad we don't live in the same place, Triassic. I would love to be a lazy-stealth-girlfriend. Read, watch movies, talk...sounds ideal to me.

So it's Sri Ganesha now Leilia? I believe that had poor Joseph Merrick, the famous Elephant Man, been born in India he would have been revered as a living emanation of Ganesh.

A variation on The Look-one that is a very clear signal is this: She sees you and looks stunned. Looks away. Looks again, looks away. Another peek. Eye contact, looks away. Back again, this time with a little smile. Guys, that is DEFINITELY a devo. Where is it that you are coming across all of these devos??!?!?!!? And are any of them hot?!? There is the annual disability products/services convention in Santa Clara in a couple of weekends. I am going to pay special attention to the ABs this time.... I spot them pretty easy, I think, but it's pretty rare. I was once at this late-night bar/club called the Garage. It's one of these places that doesn't even get going until about 2:30 AM after every other place closes down. I passed by this gorgeous woman who gave me a nice smile, but I really thought nothing of it. People tend to be smiley after a night of drinking and I normally solicit smiles with my own. Not long after, I look over and she's standing near my friend and me. Somehow, we start talking (I think I initiated) and I realize she's pretty much ignoring my AB friend and is totally honed in on me. Before I knew it, she's insisting on buying me drinks and dancing. She had every trademark of devoteeism. She was curious about my disability, remarked that she'd been an aide for a quad before, insisted I take her number, made sure I knew that the guy there was NOT her boyfriend, and expressed remorse that she was just starting things up with her boyfriend again. Definitely my first in-person encounter with a devotee after hearing about them online. But I don't think she even realizes devoteeism exists. I met her probably a year ago. I visit her at her work every now and again (she's a bartender), and though she's very nice, and refuses to let me pay for drinks, she's sober and seems to stifle her attraction. She's also engaged... to an AB. Point being: When you meet a devotee, you can tell. It's more than friendly. I'd never felt as wanted before. It was sincere... and vigorous.
