hi deb I know what you mean about situations with sighted people in 
stores and restaurants.  Some times I go into a store and they say to 
my sighted friends "what does he need." They reply "ask him he is the 
one that needs something."  Another thing that gets me real mad is when 
people ask those stupid questions about my dog.  How old is he? What is 
his name? I was in the jackson ville airport the other day and having a 
conversation with my fother about the fish that we caught and some 
jerky gentleman wanted to know my dog's name.  I answered and continued 
the conversation.  That really burns!!!!! Well another thing is when I 
am having dinner with my girl friend and some wonderful concerned 
person wants to ask dog questions.  I am of course very rude but not as 
rud as tandy but ask the person to let me relax with my girl friend and 
eat my dinner.  So thank you for letting me blow that out see ye soon 
what part of florida are you in.  I love florida my parents live in 
saint augestine.
