[nagdu] beginning to use a cane

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Although it is true that people treat me differently, however, I would not 
say it is to the extent of being like a second class citizen or worse.



When people treat me differently, I typically simply don't associate with 
them. If I am forced to, I insist they treat me in a professional manner, 
and won't accept anything otherwise.



Words to live by,

Illegitimi non carborundum
