I'm just shocked!

Ian died. Mum just called me at about 4 to tell me A.B. had called her. He went down hill very quickly in the end. JH MJ and I were just talking to Chris. He seems to be acting calm but I guess it's soo easy for people to be in denial! I can totally understand it.
I just can't believe it gets the best of them, when they're so young. Mum was telling me it was totally like her Mum. she was the loviest person and still had half a lifetime to go! :(
I'm going to course now!
Til Next Time, RdFreak

actually ya know, I hadn't thought of that song at all when using those text links. but I guess that song "Fly" from celine DDion can be appropriate to the above post! so maybe that aint too bad after all.

As for me, I use a screne reader for jaws which, like I said in that other comment, you can find out about at http://www.freedomscientific.com .. think that may help explain a lot. ya can even download the demo if ya wish Lol!
It's very easy to do a lot of standard things on the computer/internet. obviously it doesn't work with some things like graphics and stuff but yeha we can't see em anyway Lol!
I was blind from birth. totally blind but do have a tad light perception.
any other questions feel free to ask. I don't mind!
Cheers!

That must be interesting...to be blind, I mean. I'll bet your hearing is spectacular.

interesting? well I've never known any difference really so it's just "normal" for me.
Our other senses are usually heightened yes (but at the moment i have an ear infection unfortunately so my right ear is down a bit ...)

AWww, I hope your ear gets better.

(Haha, yes, it would be interesting for me if I suddenly went blind...!)

well it's a bit of a different story if you went blind later in life. There'd unfortunately be a bit of hard ajusting to do. I have friends in this situation, and like anything in their life that physically changes, it's not easy, but they do ajust and still continu to lead very independent lives!

=) Yes it would be a hard adjustment.
