Hi Clare. You've hit it right on the head there Clare. But that's the way life is for us.As you already know a lot of people that talked to me and my wife don't any longer speak to me since she died. I can't explain it, can you. love Malcolm.xxx 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
