got me wondering if being forced to choose between blindness and deafness, which I’d choose. I think I’d lose more things I enjoy being blind, so I’d have to go with being deaf.

That definitely surprises me. Being there's one particular activity that's been rumored to cause blindness, I figured you'd only have about 10% to go.

No sense in losing both.

The good news is if you're deaf dumb and blind you can still play a mean pinball.

You put a ] inside the url bracket. The link wouldn't have worked.

I think it would be a little easier overall to be deaf. You could use closed captioning to watch TV and movies. It would be a little more challenging to communicate by reading lips or using sign language.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was a pretty funny movie.

And one could still internet and post. Didn't we lose FamilyTiesForever due to vision loss?

I'm wondering if any of our die hard music fans feel otherwise.

She is almost totally blind. I suggested she use a screen reader to help her out. She is able to live independently in her own home.

I also remember she was real tight with Janice. Do you know if they’re still in touch?
