Some folks say it makes things smoother, others say staff give them weird looks or act confused.

What do you wish people understood you?
For me, it's that you can be physically disabled without it being instantly obvious, and being an ambulatory wheelchair user, I often get odd looks or quite rude and pointed questions from people who may see me in a wheelchair one day and not another.

Word Association Game
I think it's fun how some of our threads can go from topic to topic and end up somewhere completely different. If I write a word, the next poster writes the first word that comes into their heads- keeping it as clean as per any forum rules. So if I put dog, someone might say cat or walk. And so on....... First word is Cake

The Celebrity Name Game!
The aim of the game is to think of a Celebrity who's first name begins with the first letter of the previous celebrity's surname. For example, Adam Sandler.
