[nabs-l] Awkward Situations: What would you do?

I think these situations are not remotely related other than the semester 
they fell in.  I wouldn't be offended by the hair remark.  I'm sure it 
wasn't meant as offensive.  Friends joke with one and other, and if it made 
you uncomfortable, you could have told your friend so.  I think this friend 
was just trying to figure out how to try how to explain the color of the 
hair.

As for the cane, college and life is full of immature people.  Again, this 
was not an attack on you personally, it was just people being stupid people. 
Did you know the folks you lent your cane to?  I know I would have been 
hesitant to loan it out to anyone and hope you had a back-up in case they 
forgot said cane in Target or broke it.

Just my thoughts,
