[nagdu] question

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Linda,

I once went to the grocery store with a friend, since she offered to drive
me there and was doing some shopping of her own.  I paid her for gas and
everything.  But she took it in her head that I didn't need fabric softener
and threatened to leave me there if I insisted on buying it.  Fabric
softener!  Needless to say, I did not go shopping with her again!

Epilogue:  I left the fabric softener behind, thinking we could discuss the
issue later and it was only fabric softener, after all.  Ha!  I should have
let her go have her snit and either walked home with my cane or called a
cab, since I was temporarily living way, way out there.  Live and learn, I
guess.  /smile/

My now ex-husband had a tendency to use his status as driver to be
controlling, but I stopped putting up with it and just found my own way home
a time or two.  /grin/  Then I quit putting up with him.  /grin/

I agree.  I think no blind person should EVER be without a cane or dog while

out - even with a human sighted guide.  What if your human companion got 
pissed at you for something and just left you stranded sans a mobility aid 
(grin!).

Morris Frank, Seeing Eye founder, found himself in this situation and he 
would have given his eye teeth for a modern white cane and the training in 
using it!
