[blparent] Educating society about blindness

[Tay Laurie]

Ha, I had the same thing happen when I bought my new computer. Dumb butthead 
talked to my grandparents not me, or talked to me like I was about five 
because I was wearing a sweatsuit, back brace and walking with a walker 
(fresh out of surgery not three weeks before). Some sales folks don't know 
when to shut up.
