First off, Rick, this is a great post!
Secondly, I have the Star Trek chair at my desk courtesy of my boss.

I liked number 7, by the way, although I would amend it that I have an excuse to be a bitch to the cow who runs our reception desk.

However, I think my favourite perq of having AS is hearing, "But you're too
young to use a cane!!" It's that word 'young'. Gotta like it!
As for sex, well, AS is such a great excuse for ... erm ... experimenting.

And food? "Oh no, I can't eat that, it'll exacerbate my arthritis." Thank god.
As to comments about how I look or move. Well, I don't look any different from anyone else, but if I did, I'd tell them that I should have listened to my mom when she told me I'd get stuck that way.
And the next person who comiserates by saying that I'm moving like a ninety year old is going to hear, "I really am 90. I just aged well."

Hugs,
Kat
