My name is Jim and I have severe cerebal palsy which limits movement to only my eyes! However, I still enjoy strip clubs, sports, gambling, getting tattoos, nature, art and other cool stuff AMA !!

What's one thing you never thought you'd be able to do, that you did and enjoyed a whole lot?

I never thought Id get out of the nursing home I lived in. I was stuck at "Rest Harbor" for 20 years and thought Id be there the rest of my live. Im 50 years old now and the nursing home sucked.

Do you have your own home now?

I live in a group home with 4 other guys but I REALLY want my own place. I didnt get to pick my roommates and one of them drives me crazy.

haha is he still driving you crazy Jim? Has it gotten better?

We still live together...... been 3 long years but not as bad as the nursing home

How do you communicate what you'd like to say by moving your eyes? Do you use Morse code?

I move my eyes up and down for "yes" and left and right for "no". I can get wide-eyed and stare at people or things to draw attention to them. I also have a letter board and can spell stuff out to staff. Staff counts 1-7 and I say "yes" to the correct section of letters (1 = A-D, 2 = E-H, ect) then "yes" to the correct letter as staff says them outloud for me. Im supposed to be getting my own computer I can control w my eyes. The cursor moves to where I look and clicks when I blink. Or something close to that, supposed to get it later this year.

how many tattoos do you have?

I got one tattoo of the Trailblazers logo. I also got 3 pinup girls done in different styles.

Thanks for doing this, Jim. I work as a staff for a gentleman with CP so I'm truly interested to hear your input. What do you look for in a new staff? Do you have any input into who gets to work with you, and if you dislike working with them, can you request someone different?

I look for someone who is nice, understands my disability and does whats best for me. I do get input and if I dont like a staff I will say something. I have replaced a "bad staff" before.

How long do your staff typically stay with you?

My staff have 8 hour shifts with me when Im not attending my day program; which is 4 or 5 hours of my day. The shortest a staff has worked with me is a month, the longest is 4 years and counting.

Can you feel your boners?

Yea, no problems with the mechanics down there.

How many snuggies do you own?

I got a Oregon Ducks snuggie and a Triailblazers one. I always feel the same temperture and wear it year round.

Hi Jim and Jeremy! A couple questions -

1. What tattoos do you have and where?
2. What is your biggest challenge in everyday life?
3. Where do you work?

All four tattoos ( trailblazers logo and 3 pinup girls) are on my arms. Putting up with roommate Max is the biggest challenge. I work at an alternative to employment in SE Portland. I make money with a candy stand and various other ventures.

How do you pay the strippers?

I have a "staff" with me who gives the girls money and hides dollar bills on me. Also, love the lap dances.

Go Hawks.

Go Blazers !!!!!!!!

What is your favorite strip club?

Heat's Gentlemen Club in Portland. Best girls!

Jim! I miss you so much! What are top three things do you love to do with your staff? haha

1st Strip clubs/ Adult video stores 2nd Trailblazers basketball games 3rd Gambling

You still like the dark skinned girls or do you have another preference now?

I like lots of types of ladies. But yes, I prefer the darker skinned girls.

Are you religious? How has your disability factored into your opinion on pre-determined destiny? In other words, did God have a special plan for you in mind?

I am not religious but believe in god. I do think my disability was part of his plan and have no resentment.

What are your favorite games at the casino?

Blackjack is my favorite followed by Texas Hold em. I just learned crapps online the other day with Jeremy and I hope to try it soon.

Jim says his favorite song is song with his name he heard. Says he cant remember who sang it but name is like " Who wants to be Jim". Jeremy doesnt know the song.... Jim has never had alcohol but want to try it pretty bad. Its an issue hes been going over with staff and doctors. Kind-of a "whats best for me" vs "what I want".... but Im determined to have a drink. BIG of course. Finally, Seattle Seahawks tattoo would be my next.

Having a going away party weekend soon. We will be heading down from seattle. A few things we have to see or experience in your opinion. It can be nsfw type stuff.

Recommend Heat's Gentlement Club and Taboo Adult Video on 82nd... love the ladies

Pardon my personal question but you did say Ask me anything! Are you able to get erections? You mention strip clubs and loving the ladies. A lot of erections happen at the strip club. Does your care taker or whoever takes you to the strip club what does he/she feel about taking you?

Yes I can! Some staff are comfortable taking me and others are not. So I go with the staff that are comfortable.

Good afternoon to you Jim and Jeremy!

Have you heard this song? Do you like it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMGVMtnxXEw

Yeah me and Jim never heard that before and we both thought that was pretty funny. I, Jeremy, havebeen to Stripperaoke in Portland (sing karaoke on stage while she dances!) and think that would be a great song for it lol

How do you use the bathroom?

There is a machine staff uses to lift me out of my chair and I am "changed" laying on a table.

What do you have tattoos of? What was your first one?

First tattoo is of a cute topless brunette holding dice and with playing card symbols (diamond, spade, ect.) around her.
