[QUOTE="Prophet2b, post: 3460882, member: 36476"] Thanks for that commentary, ogre! Actually, while I've never known someone who only had one eye, I kind of assumed that was the case for one reason - my wife only has one arm, and people are [i]always[/i] assuming that hinders her in ways that we would never even think about. In fact, she absolutely refuses to take advantage of any "disability" programs or anything like that, because she's [i]not[/i] disabled. I thought for a while that she was just stubborn - but after spending so much time with her, I can certainly see now that she was right! So I had this [i]feeling[/i] that the same thing was going on with the whole losing an eye scenario. They were assuming disabilities that aren't actually there, just because to us it "makes sense" that it would be so. Just like it "made sense" to someone once that I must have to tie my wife's shoes (she'd hit me if I even offered!) and do other such things. Thanks, again! [/QUOTE]
