Okay, I said that wrong. I know you?re thinking about it but I think that you are thinking of **** in the sense that I?m thinking of that I can?t see. So I don?t think that you really realizing it because some people will say **** blind and people automatically assume they can see a little. Why can?t? I can?t. I was born blind, okay? Now, if I could see a little bit, then yes, I would agree with you but it would only make sense to do both, you know? It?s almost like me saying to you okay Larry, you have to learn how to read Braille even though you can?t. You have to learn how to read Braille even though you ****. I wouldn?t make you do that and it just like you. I hope that you wouldn?t make somebody like me learn how to deal with it and get frustrated ?cause I get frustrated when people don?t describe to me what they?re doing like flapping their leg when they are talking which irritates me all the heck and plus when they nod their head or shrug their shoulders when I?m in the room and **** well know I can?t see, that frustrates me, you know? And you know, I mean not much rather

> Oh Tonya, it sure does matter!  I always assume that everyone is using several different visual cues at once!  I have4 no sight but yet i have trained myself to use many cues bartly because of my daughter.  Some of the more subtle cues like brow lifting or blushing can say a lot!  Us blind people can miss out on a whole lot of communication done with looks or gestures that never get translated into language.  A persons tone of voice can convey one thing but there looks and gestures can mean something entirely different!  In every day life we may be able to ignore body language some but in meetings of any importance like commission meetings or job interviews, body language is very inportant!  If you can't see they'res, pay attention to yours.  That certainly matters!  According to some studies which I could look up if necessary, body language along with looks plays as much as 70% of all communication.  So, you sure don't want to just ignore it especially when you're butt is on the line!  I have been known to ask friends after meetings what sort of body language was used.  You sure can be surprised sometimes!
