I think I am supposed to count my blessings.<br /><br />One of Ambassador Thwack's main functions seems to be sowing confusion. For Instance, Ambassador Thwack escorts me to the counter at (urk) fast food place. Perhaps it blows staff minds that I accomplish this independently; for some reason they seldom grok that I cannot read the overhead menus. Nor can they necessarily tell me the specials in English. Sigh.<br /><br />I HOPE childbirth stories are more socially rewarding,affirming, acceptable than blind person (nearly) gets run over stories. I get one of those at least once a quarter from my various email lists. It happened to someone I loved. <br /><br />These stories are nearly always some unfortunate interaction of human error, built environment, the conditions.... It's not like I can necessarily do anything except be careful and say a prayer for whoever the story is about. I would not mind a different prayer list.RantWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288398784875186570.post-87648753234986150732012-06-21T08:19:27.329-07:002012-06-21T08:19:27.329-07:00I think, to be honest, that there are people who s...I think, to be honest, that there are people who see Mr. Thwack and even though it should be obvious that this has no relation to mobility, somehow make the mental leap from cane of any sort to cane for mobility issues. But...blind person gets run over stories? Are these in the same genre as childbirth horror stories??chamoiseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785635288488307991noreply@blogger.com
