[Sportsandrec] Zumba?

Wed Aug 31 23:28:31 UTC 2016

Afternoon, J,

To deny the help that in fact, is usually all around because you're 
too proud or you're trying to prove some illusive point is, in a 
word, stupid. Fact is, J, we are blind and there are things that 
require some slight accommodation but we are not sighted, so why 
should we feel like we have to act the part? I mean, can't blind and 
sighted people coexist separately, to an extent that they are able 
without feeling they have to compete with Ol'Sighty? I mean, do you 
see Ol'Sighty emulating us, ever?
