I know, right? It was great. I just thought, okay, now I've heard it all. For goodness sake, babies know where their mouths are when they're born! But the author of the book really did a good job. Didn't shrink from anything, but it wasn't a tale of horrors either.
What was the plot of that movie? I've never seen it and you make me, to quote Alice, curiouser and curiouser. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. J. Nolte" <a.j.nolte@xxxxxxxxx>

Magnets on teeth? That's...fantastic!!
As for daredevil, well, I suppose that's what you get when Benn Aflak pretends to be blind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elfqueen" <elfqueen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Wow. Weird!
Say, there's a book, I think it's on bookshare, called Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. Part of the Dear America series. I read it a long time ago, and it's about a blind girl named Bess Brennan who goes to a school for the blind in the 1930's. A visitor comes, and asks how the students find their mouths when they eat. That one had me falling out of my chair howling with laughter, but the answer one of the boys gave was even better: he said he'd attached magnets to his teeth! ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

Nope, nobody asked me about the rain thing; it's in the movie Daredevil though. <g> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elfqueen" <elfqueen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

LOLOLOL! Did someone ask you that? Wow! That goes beyond weird...that's amazingly weird! I don't like walking in the rain either. It's distracting.
I once had a lady come up to me out of the blue, and ask me if I wrote songs? Incidentally, I do, and said yes. Hymns? Were they hymns? Yes, I had written some hymns, but how did she know all this about me? Well, she knew about Fanny Krosby, and since Fanny Krosby was blind and wrote songs, and I was blind too, I must write songs. LOL! I love it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. J. Nolte" <a.j.nolte@xxxxxxxxx>

What, you mean you can't see pictures of people's faces based on the way the rain hits them? I'm shocked--shocked. <g>
Incidentally, rain is kinda a bit disorienting rather than being helpful, for me anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elfqueen" <elfqueen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

*smiles* Not a stupid question at all. This is where the line starts to be crossed between realism and myth. Lots of people have misconceptions about blind people's senses, like we're supposed to be superhuman or someething. We're not, but I can generally feel it if someone is really focused on me. If I'm not thinking about it I don't always, but I'm by nature very self-conscious, and maybe that's what makes me so sensative about it. I don't know if that's universal. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

This is probably a stupid question, and perhaps I can guess the answer, but if you're blind how do you know people are staring at you?

decided I don't like to be stared at; frankly, I hate
it. T
