I know my post came across as rude but the under lying point which you are all failing to see (pun) is that, instead of saying I cannot do it because I am blind, You should be saying I CAN do it despite being blind. Deaf people use lights to help them hear music. Parapligics prefur old fashion hand powered chairs instead of the new electric ones, unless they have a reason why they can't use their arms. Even people with full body paralsis (Steven Hawkin, Chris Reeve) found ways to utalize and over come rather than sit and wait to die.
Also instead of foucing on a nonnessiserial trivality like surfing the internet (which believe me you can live without a lot easier than eyesight) maybe you should try using that energy on learning brail, or practicing with your cane. As for someone leaveing things on the stairs, That is why you have your cane. You sweep each stair with a 2-1-2 sweeping pattern (which takes less than a second) useing a reversgrip and navigating stairs is easy.
For those of you at home who are not blind, try blind folding your self. (Im sure your Domme will let you barrow one) then use a broom or similar object to be your "cane". and try navigateing your stairs. If you don't have stairs then just try navigating your home.
As long as your maintain the mind set of I CAN you can over come your limits. I would also suggest training your other senses to compensate for your lose for sight.
The differnace between being Handicaped and Handicapable depends on how strong your resolve is.
Ok, I have to dig (no pun intended for this pup), again into one of your posts joanus. As a historian, I understand the importance of conveying my thoughts in a way in which other interpretations of my own words have to have extensive support to hold any water, so here i go.

Let’s see what actually is going on for this section……..
quote:
MoGa 2/3/2008
I am the first person to say that I am NOT handicapped because I am still able to do a lot of things.
Mistress never said that they could not do anything because She is blind. The only thing She has said is that the things are HARDER for Her to due from Her multiple medical conditions.
With medical conditions like Neuropathy, walking up and down stairs becomes a different issue all together. As EvilGenie stated :
quote:
I also deal with severe neuropathy and at one point was going to begin a thread to see if anyone else is dealing with it. It has been many years now for me with that and my other disabilities. I have learned to live with pain that most human beings could never endure. A great deal of the time I am ok with the mind blowing pain, numbness and complete lack of feeling and other times I just want to speak to someone who knows how it is.
Mistress has been working harder than you could imagine at improving Her life with these new challenges thrown in. Even SubbieOnWheels agreed by saying:
quote:
MoGa, you are doing extremely well! At your stage, I was still grousing about what I could NOT do - and I'm "only" legally blind.
Mistress even reinforces what others have said about Her by saying:
quote:
EvilGenie,
Very very nice post! You are right of course, however, those that are saying how strong I am, are those who know me personally. I have not told my whole story here, as it is personal and I just wanted to start a thread about what to do about discrimination. But Mistress Hathor and my own pup know me. They know the hell I have been through for over a year and that is the reason that they admire my strength, not because I am blind and able to cope, but because I have shown my strength in so many other ways, that didn't even include my blindness.
I wish that I could give kudos to everyone who is disabled. It is freaking hard! I admire you! My journey is just beginning, and I am sure I will make mistakes along the way, but hopefully I wont trip and kill myself before I get to where I want to be <s>
How do you get that She is not making ANY efforts to improve Her life? You make it seem like all She does is lay around the house 24/7/365 doing nothing but surfing these forums and complaining about what She CANNOT do. I hate to break your perfect heart, but that is the farthest from the truth a person can get.

On the matter of the comments regarding other types of disabled persons, where do you get your evidence? Until you can show me evidence that these statements are a proven fact, then they will go right where they belong <tosses them in the garbage>. You have to PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that the statements that you make are FACT rather than OPINION. Show me some articles, scholarly journals, scientific surveys (newspaper polls or online surveys do not count due to biases in the design of the studies to achieve a particular answer), or even a reference in a book to prove that these statements about personal preferences are true and not lies.
When you mentioned Christopher Reeve, he did not accept his handicap immediately. He was in depression for months and interviews of him reflected this. A article on CNN on October 11,2004 stated:
quote:
An active horseman, Reeve was taking part in an equestrian competition in 1995 when he was thrown from his horse. The event changed his life overnight. After the accident, he told Barbara Walters that he had considered suicide, but thoughts of his children dissuaded him, according to The Associated Press."I could see how much they needed me and wanted me ... and how lucky we all are and that my brain is on straight," he said. He refused to let his injury -- he was left a quadriplegic -- slow him down, and he exhorted others to take chances.
And Steven Hawkins wasn’t paralyzed due to an accident, he was born with Spina Bifida, so he didn’t have to adjust to his condition. He lived his whole life from birth, and eventually to death. Being paralyzed is all he has been his whole life, like most handicapped people; he did not give up in the face of adversity!
Most handicapped people you see are not sitting around waiting to die, unless they are on death row but that is another topic. Mistress is not waiting around to die, She is in Mobility Training as we speak and is progressing at a very good rate. She took two months to get Herself together and pursue Her dreams of being independent and active again.

This just shows how insensitive You are and also Your reluctance to read the threads and what is being discussed BEFORE stating your opinion on an issue. If you HAD been reading, you would have seen that Mistress is going to Her Mobility Training classes, hell, She even taught Her puppy Shiloh to walk Her to the mailbox. If this is not the best way to use one’s energy productively, then I do not know what is.
Also, I have been reading your posts and it seems like you have been keeping a secret from us and the world. I didn’t realize I was speaking to Jesus Christ himself when I was posting here. Do not worry; I will not tell anyone, the media would be all over you. You must think you are something by learning: brail, mobility training, and mastering how to operate a cane in three days.
quote:
joanus
BTW Smith Im a guy, and in the three days I was blind I memorized the Brail alphabet, mastered the cane, learned how to walk my apartment from one end to the other with out help, cane or other wise ( I never realized how much shit I left on the foor til I broke a few toes triping on every thing) And wipe my own ass with out the aid of eye sight.(which is tougher than it sounds).
I do not know why you are spending your time here when you could be being more productive, the genius you must be. Because the average person takes months, even years to learn how to do the things you learned in three days. What did you do on the fourth, rest? I mean come on; everyone can tell that the only person in here that is lying and bullshitting is You Joanus. There is no way that you did all of that in three days. And if you did, why haven’t you written a new book or started your own training program for the blind, I mean my God! You know how much money you could make, training people how to change their life in 3 days and to become fully functional human beings. The reason why I know you are lying is because of the extensive training needed to become functional again. The Guide Dogs For The Blind program (www.guidedogs.com) has a training program needed for a person to handle their dogs which is as follows:
quote:
As the largest school serving the United States and Canada, we are able to provide highly personalized training. The team spends up to 28 days learning to work together in a variety of real-life situations, from quiet country roads to busy metropolitan areas. The students learn to work their dogs in stores, restaurants and malls, and on all forms of public transportation. The class training is conducted by our licensed Guide Dog mobility instructors.
This is why I do not believe you, because it takes EXTENSIVE training to utilize mobility training in a safe manner. Of course, anyone can feel around and bump into things for three days until they realize where everything is, but try to do it in the middle of downtown Atlanta.
It is hard enough for handicapped people to adjust and cope to their new challenges without people like you putting them down about everything because they are not as perfect as you. <walks over and rips your wings and halo off> You are not Jesus and you are not perfect, in fact you are far from it. You have a bad case of arrogance, which comes along with being so young; I know what I am talking about because that same arrogance got me in trouble with my Mistress.
I mean come on, look at what you said in your journal joanus,
quote:
11/12/2007 2:05:30 PM: Well sunday was my birthday and to all of those of you who wished me a happybirthday thank, but since none of you guys (with the exeption of Mystress_Pryncess and Kirren on Collarme.com wished me shit, you can go fornacate your selves with flameing hot iron sticks.
What kind of attitude is that for a collared slave to openly display? I wonder if your Dominant knows how you talk to people on here, because the way you post reflects your Dominant and Her training of you. And for a person who is 21 and is avid in their posts, it might be a good recommendation to think about using spell check, it helps to make your point stand out as if you know what you are talking about a little bit better.
Take your time to rethink how you have been posting on this thread, because we cannot jump inside your head to see what you were trying to say, you have to make it as plain as can be. Because when you leave your own words for people to make assumptions, they might take it in a way in which makes you look like an ass.
Now with that rant being over, I do agree with what you said joanus about never giving up and stating that a person CAN do things. The old trick of mind over matter works, because a person can do anything you put your mind to.
