I agree with Dan. I saw this story on Facebook as well. My first thought was: "Why would any one take their own sight for no other reason than because they WANTED to be blind?' If the loss of sight was due to a medical condition or to save a life, then that would certainly be understandable. However, simply taking one's sight for no good reason - I'm sorry but this is unacceptable. -Tracie

However this issue of body dysmorphic disorder is rampant people want to change their hair color I color their noses their breasts their their weight their sexual identity we have a real issue here of people who are totally unhappy with who they are

Can someone tell me when we may be able to make our hotel reservations. Kathy, Wade and I are departing for an extended much deserved trip next week.
Thanks in advance.

Could we please get an e-mail stating the dates, location, room rates and
other pertinent information for the up-coming NFBF state convention? If one
has been sent out, I lost it somehow.
