She also has another dog named Daisy and this is she posted yesterday about her walk.<br /><br />I went for our daily long walk and i had to smile at what a lady said today, Lily has a her pink vest on and her collar cover reading "I am Blind", so their we are Daisy, Lily and me just walking through a gate into the second field. A lady was coming towards the gate so i held it open for her, as she approached she said "oh my a deaf dog still she can learn hands signals, i believe they can you know". I replied "no doubt she would if she were deaf and could see", she then replied "my dear just do hand signals and i am sure she will fair better at passing through the gate without bumping into me". I then replied "actually she would do far better in passing through the gate if you stood to one side as she is blind". She then said "well like i say hand signals my dear, works wonders and manners will follow good bye", i giggled to myself as i trundled across the field. <br /><br />Some people just don't get it, no mater what you say to them.

Sometimes one of my limbs (preferably left arm) does this quick, dancy, semi-voluntary motion, and this happened at the party. That staff person was the only one who batted an eye at the odd movement and boy did he! He gave me a look of such disdain, clearly indicating he thought that action ought to be controlled. Like, how dare I be allowed out if I do such things! This movement that hurt no one made me a disgusting <i>thing</i> in his eyes. Very upsetting. And this is how he treated strangers with disabilities.AnyBethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-91629507134984793962015-05-27T20:32:09.679-04:002015-05-27T20:32:09.679-04:00So you didn't do what the STAFF told you to do...So you didn't do what the STAFF told you to do???

Which I know because now *I* want one! Except for mine, in lieu of the "mute" spell, I would probably substitute a spell for making hearing people ACTUALLY WRITE when I explain that lip reading isn't working and I need them to please write what they're saying. But certainly "mute" would be a great spell to have when in proximity to the OTHER kind of Power Staff.Andrea S.http://andreashettle.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89736040706829472492015-05-27T19:02:41.405-04:002015-05-27T19:02:41.405-04:00You could have said "Thanks but my husband I ...You could have said "Thanks but my husband I will work out what's best for us" That would have stopped her too, I think.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808160376479302563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-41235663161620815392015-05-27T13:58:15.159-04:002015-05-27T13:58:15.159-04:00Humph!

The only Power Staff I want in <i>my</i> life is the kind carried by <i>Gandalf</i> (Then, I might be able to zap the other kind with a "mute" spell)!CapriUnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906524679880178584noreply@blogger.com
