And I also can't speak very loudly, so whoever is pushing me never hears me when I ask them to stop, go back etc.<br /><br />Thankfully I haven't had any 'mean' stares yet, just ones that seem to be a bit more of curiousity.... but I have noticed staff being overly nice and helpful - which shits me, because I just wish they would be nice to everyone!<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the email and linking me up here - I'm glad to know you're okay!<br /><br />Catch up soon, and Merry Christmas :-)Collettehttp://etc-etc-etc.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30731935.post-83532712083995772542006-12-22T15:21:00.001+11:002006-12-22T15:21:00.001+11:002006-12-22T15:21:00.001+11:00No, sadly, I didn't.

Can't always have a good day...or a polite day at that! Heck I know I don't! ;)First Impressionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10836927667081896428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30731935.post-19029988249986244802006-12-22T15:20:00.000+11:002006-12-22T15:20:00.000+11:002006-12-22T15:20:00.000+11:00While I don't use a stick (yet, I might try one soon) and I've never used a wheelchair, I know the stares all too well....like when I sit on a seat at or near the front of the bus, or use a lift, or practically pull myself up the stairs (like on a bus).<br />I'm just waiting for someone to say something to me, although I don't think my polite side would win out!!<br /><br />Sometimes I want to say something that would scare them away, like "I have leprosy and my legs are about to fall off" or something equally scary!! :)PinkyAmyChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02247844064707467779noreply@blogger.com
