Hi Malcolm, oh how cool. You will certainly get lots wanting your autograph now including me. There won't be any shortage of help for you either. I must say I thought blind men got a better deal than blind women but reading your experiences has really opened my eyes haha. If you will excuse the pun of course. Sounds good doesn't it? Also I thought it was so much more common for a sighted lady to go out with a blind man than a sighted man going out with a blind lady. I could be wrong here though too. Also I have found that sighted people tend to start off being friendly and helpful to us totally blind people but all of a sudden they let it just slowly fizzle out and they don't want to know us anymore. It's as if it was just a novelty to them or something. Sadly I have experienced that too. It's as if we aren't human beings to these people. They don't care that they are messing with our emotions and end up hurting us. Well I will get off my soap box now lol. I have been on it quite a bit today haven't I? Better get more of that medicine to make me feel better. Love Clare xxxx
