You are certainly welcome here and you ‘do’ belong. I hear your frustration and I also understand that finding creative solutions to your issues is challenging right now, but I want to emphasize to you that there is no single right way or wrong way that everyone must pursue. You have to do much exploring and evaluation to determine what works best for your unique situation. It’s important to remember that what works for one may be totally wrong for another and that’s O.K. Through trial and error you’ll find your way. It may not be easy and it may take some time, but you’ll get there. I’m sure of it. I am interested in keeping up with your journey and I would personally miss your presence here on the listservs (and hopefully at NFB events in the future). I hope you’ll reconsider and stay with us, but if you choose to leave I wish you well. Know that you can certainly stay in touch off list. You have my email and my phone number, feel free to use them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Take care,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Melanie<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Nfbktad [mailto:nfbktad-bounces@nfbnet.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>April Brown<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 07, 2013 8:37 PM<br><b>To:</b> nfbktad@nfbnet.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Nfbktad] Goodbye to the group<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"'>I am saying my goodbyes to the group.<br><br>I've never belonged anywhere.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"'>Can't make it in the business setting because I can't join in gluten food swaps.<br><br>Can't hold a job because I can't drive 25+ mile each way.<br><br>Can't hold a job because I can't physically function more than a few hours each day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"'>Even writer don't want me because I can't visually recognize the difference in a comma and period.<br><br>One I dreamed people cared, and wanted to help others succeed regardless of difference. <br><br>Instead, I have continuously found, when I reach out, that I am just a piece of garbage to kicked on down the street, because I cannot do or be exactly what another expects.<br><br>I understand it's important that everyone is able to do things exactly the same way.
