[il-talk] p.s.

all this reminds me of what our affiliate and the National board is going to do at the next convention. IL. has done 'the significant other breakfast' for the last 4 years. why?? because blind people need some insight in what sighted people think of us. some people were afraid this would be just a 'bitch' session. i disagree completely. i think these sessions have been a time for sighted and blind people to learn that they can trust each other. blind people can never be completely independent no matter how loud some say it can happen. we gave a forum to sighted people and they took it. they showed us how it can be rewarding, funny, and exalsperating to live with a blind person. just like living with any other  kind of person. 
oops, i'm rambling again.
