[stylist] Here's my attempt at being tactile to thefolkswhowanteverything for nothing

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I only suggest a cab if the university were willing to pay for it. I
wouldn't pay for a cab myself for an hour trip either, grin.

Bridgit,
While a cab is definitely an option in many cases, it is not for us. A
cab from here in the sticks to Wilkes-Barre would be well over $100 each
way, and there is only one cab in Tunkhannock, our closest real town,
which is a half hour away -- it doesn't operate after 6p.m..

I tried responding to several folks who wrote in about my response a
week ago, but the messages sat in my Out Box and never got sent. Hoping
I have better luck with this. *grin* Donna

If the university is willing to pay, a cab is an option, and this way no
person has to take a day or afternoon to drive. Just throwing out
options. A bus may be another option, though a bus certainly isn't the
most convenient option.

Yes, this is very important. People just do not realize at all that it
takes something more than just getting in our car and leaving home so
that we can be somewhere. Not only is it our time, it is someone else's
time.  When I go to the pottery studio to work, it is an hour long dive
each way. Then, I am there 3-4 hours working. That is a six hour day for
TWO people, plus all the expenses involved that April listed.  Not only
is it very inconvenient for the person who is taking us places, it is
expensive, too.  This is our reality and one that a sighted person would
never even think about for a

second.
