I was injured in a diving accident in 1986, resulting in c6-7 quadraplegia. I live by myself just north of Columbus with my 2 dogs, cat, and my toys. I love being outside, racing my Miata, riding my 4 wheelers, even mowing grass.

Tell us your story…

http://www.miata.net/motm/2007/thomson.html That's a little bit of my recent story. I own a small tool shop in Columbus Indiana http://pacetool.com/. I live in a house that I designed with my late wife, Colleen, who was a therapist at RHI in the early 90's. I love life, challenges and all.

My dog is a beagle mix that we got from the shelter when i still lived with my parents. I took her with me when i moved out. And my cat is just a cute little black and white thing. I have lots of pics of them. Here's one-

I don't remember what kind the new chair is. I am pretty sure it is a quickie too. That is crazy about losing the chair back. Not cool. I don't know what i would do! I wrote your number down and i will call you soon.

I was always too busy with school and cleaning. Plus the chair i have now is not right for my back, so it hurts if i am up in it for awhile. But my new one gets in next week! Then i will be able to go out and do more. Plus now i graduated, so i can have a life again! I don't live by myself. I have a roommate that just moved in. We will see about how accessible your house is when i go there! I am really strong in the arms, as i'm sure you are too. Oh, and that story was not funny! That would be horrible. What did you do? You should give me your number and i can call and talk to you.

At 2:51pm on May 13, 2009, jessie said…: Yes, we do have to hang out sometime. I like to do stuff outside too, and wanna go for a ride in the miata!! Now that i graduated i can have a life again!

At 1:06pm on May 13, 2009, jessie said…: Yes, it was a pretty day and a very pretty ceremony. It's good that you like where you live. I grew up with cows as neighbors, but when i moved out of my parents' i wanted a place that was close to things. I am in a subdivision, but i am on the end of a road. That way i don't have to look out my window into someone else's. I would hate that! I have my own car with handcontrols. It is a pretty silver olds alero with a sunroof and spoiler. I love it. What about you?
Now that i graduated i have free time, so let me know if you ever wanna hang out. I wish you didn't live so far. What kinds of things do you like to do?

At 11:38am on May 9, 2009, jessie said…: Iupui. Yeah, i graduate tomorrow. Exciting. I majored in spanish. I want to get a job translating or something like that. We shall see. And yes, i live in a subdivision right by two interstates. I am on the west side, right where 465 hits 38th street and where 65 hits lafayette road. It is nice to be able to get places quickly.

At 11:30am on May 5, 2009, jessie said…: What side of town do you live on? Maybe we can hang out sometime. Now that i am done with school i have alot more free time!!

At 2:45pm on May 2, 2009, jessie said…: well hi back. wow, race a miata. That sounds really cool. Where do you race at? You aren't scared you will get in another accident? Maybe i can go for a ride with you one day, but you may have to go a little slower for me : )
