I’m 42 and my name is Jolina. And I suffer from BIID for at least 34 years. My first BIID memories date from age 8 when I played with Barbie dolls of which I had ripped off the legs.

Happily, there are a few places online where you can watch certain events live, or taped highlights of other events. Below is a list of sites that are featuring coverage of the Paralympics. If you know of others, please feel free to post them here.

I’m turning fourty years old this year. Some of you will say I’m still a "baby". And I’m old enough to be the dad of some other regulars. As those of you following this blog (and it does appear there are a few, wonders of wonders) will know, I’ve been going through a "bad patch". I’ve been wondering if perhaps I’m not suffering from the classic mid-life crisis.
