I honestly don't see how one could develop diabetes from an incident like this, but I do think Home Depot should compensate this person in some way. He had a humiliating and, from the sounds of it, painful experience and the store refused to help him.

This sounds more promising than when, about ten years ago, they wanted to sever people's nerves and reestablish a connection through an implant that a person would activate via a remote transmitter. This specific method was intended to help regain control of the bladder. Push here to pee. Actually, is there someone out there who went through with that surgery? How is it going now? Regeneration, for me, is still preferable to any kind of "add on." And it seems like I've read that neural regeneration will be possible within the same kind of timeframe. Either way, I'm sure my hips will be killing me when I stand up.

Re: Media Campaigns featuring People with Disabilities Explode in Recent Months

Tim: Here's an excerpt from my latest blog describing a fairly good example of a tasteful ad done with a dose of reality........... I just saw a new Christmas TV ad by Kay Jewelers that I really appreciated. Although probably insignificant to many, it shows a man interacting with his hearing-impaired girlfriend, attempting to improve his signing. Since it's an ad for jewelry, he offers her a beautiful ring towards the end of the ad. It is really a sweet moment and just one of the many little things that gets out the message that will move the disabled community more from the periphery and into to the center of our culture. Somehow, some way, we need to frequent the establishments that highlight disabilities, give them our business and tell them why. Now, was the young lady in the ad REALLY hearing impaired or just an actress? I certainly hope she was for real! Your comments/feedback are always welcome.
