I'm still catching up from travels, family (me) illness, and grandmother dying (my last grandparent).
Figure I'll hype my own post from another forum here-

Steven Hawking was capable of moving a muscle in his cheek as computer input, which allowed him to communicate how the universe works with the rest of us. A guy who slobbers on himself and is completely dependent on others was worth millions, sold many books, and expanded the frontiers of physics. I'd rather be confined to a useless body and perform to maximum potential than to have a fully functional one and resign myself to uselessness.

This was a response to "childless cat lady".
Some people with their fully functional body manage to feed cats, while others with a nearly useless body manage to feed the frontiers of physics.
My grandmother was an unlikable childless dog lady. She has few redeeming qualities, though was most likable among my 3 grandmothers. I love and miss her, but the funeral will be poorly attended. She was fond of me, and it's not clear to me why. Maybe because I took time to chat and pet her dog.
