3. you just might be a red kneck,
4. you have reasons of your own, please, keep them to yourself and seek some treatment! Short bio of author Stan Bobbitt I'm not offended at all, I think it's quite funny myself. I've been blind for 33 years. I may have been in some of these situations, more than once! mmm, can you guess which ones? I lost my sight when I was 8 years old. There's an official name for it but, what it boils down to is: I was born premature and I received an excess of oxygen while in an incubator, WHAT! (an incubator), So I guess I was hatched! Anyway, the over dose of oxygen damaged the retinas in my eyes which didn't affect me until later years. I think I have adapted quite well, though. When I look around, oops, (I mean feel around) I seem to be just an average jo. That's not to say that I am average now, I don't like comparisons! The only thing that really perturbs me about being without sight is, They won't let me DRIVE!!!
