[blparent] My story and request for help

Tue Apr 23 10:34:03 UTC 2013

Well since our friend here feels we all should have "life skills" we are 
always developing those as far as blind life skills I think we are always 
learning those because we always have to learn different ways of doing 
things because no situation is exactly like another situation life is 
learning and if you stop learning you will be dead and bored.
