I do use a walking stick because of the M.E/CFIDS - the post about how it affects me is here: http://bekithewitch.vox.com/library/post/qotd-this-gets-on-my-last-nerve.html

I'd still like to start a standing ovation for this post though. Well said :)

Ah, right - my mistake on that one. I did wonder actually whether a walking stick might be used or not, but I have other friends who, IIRC, don't use one, and I figured that the car parking scenario I described wouldn't happen if the person *did* have a visible problem. I evidently didn't think it through enough, heh.

Thanks for the comments. :D

I think PDF is actually an open standard thingy. Certainly PDF 1.7 (the latest one) is making its way to ISO standards-ness at the moment.

*flails about the rest of the post* - it can be frustrating when people are completely unsympathetic to friends whose disabilities aren't visible, but my experience is that *most* people are wonderful about it anyway, and other people are just grumpy and/or mean, and those types generally aren't really any nicer when people have their walking sticks or other walking helping tools out anyway.

That which we cannot see can harm us and those around us. Just because we do not see it, does not mean it does not exist.

I can't write what I feel right now because it hurts too much. You probably don't know my story, or the story of my best friend......... but this post made me cry because it proved that there are people out there who care and understand. The world would be such a better place if there were more people like you. I love you.

I love you too, Jessi. Really. *hugs* I still haven't heard from you for some time, Jessi, so I'm replying in the hopes that you'll see this somehow.

I do miss you, and I wish I could talk to you. Maybe we could talk over IM? Because as I've explained before, no matter what you think, I don't hate you. Anything but.

Please, if you see this, get in touch somehow. My contact details are on my profile.

I had this album when I was about 10, and this was my favourite song. I have since lost the "Cassette tape" (how ancient sounding!!) and googled the title in hopes of finding out who sung it. Thanks so much for posting this song. It brings back such sweet, innocent memories.

I'm glad you found this! I also notice looking back at this post that the link to the album has changed - it's now http://www.britemusic.com/show-a-little-love-cd . (The album is called "Show A Little Love" - but having owned it yourself, I'm sure you know that!)

There are samples of all the songs on the album on that page, and you can still order the album on CD from that page, too, if you're looking for a way to relive those memories. I'll update the link.

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad I could help! :D

I will definitely be buying this album for my 6 year old daughter. She is going to love it. In the mean time, do you know the name of the girl who sings Maybe you Laughed? She has such a gorgeous voice.

Again, thanks for this post, I am giddy with excitement to receive the album in the mail!!

Re: Ah the memories soph December 22 2009, 22:04:58 UTC

I'm not sure about that, sorry. I know Janeen Brady made the song, but I don't know who sung it. (Maybe she did herself? I have no idea. :D)

Since the business behind it still appears to be running, your best bet would be to ask them yourself - they'll know who did it. If you find out, could you let me know, too? I'm intrigued. :)
