Hi Wish, I'd do chat if I could but I can't, my speech software won't work with it, I looked in there once, even though I already knew the answer. So because of that I'll have to stick with the forums. Thanks for asking though.

I'm sorry, I'm not much of a techie...Are you saying you use a speech software to post here? Or you have a program that you use otherwise that interferes with using chat? Are you not able to type, or do you prefer the speech software? Yeah, I'm lost....

This man is my kinda crazy. I hope they don't make 'em take it down. They could make massive tourist-y bucks. Wouldn't it be awesome to get married there, ya know, when they get it landscaped??

I can type fine, but since I'm visually impaired I need speech software to tell me what's on the screen. If a website or program isn't compatable with it then I don't get to use it.

Well, that explains a lot. Eh, if it's not one thing, it's another, right? Seems a lot of people on this board are differently abled.
You mind me asking if you were borned that way or no?
I'd be interested in your experiences, I'm always fascinated with different points of view... Like does your software read smiley faces, for one thing?? Cause my intonation is almost entirely dependant on them sometimes.

A Riona a Chara
You're Miss Universe. The human mind has a vast capacity to calculate data, but most of our ability is taken up calculating the information required for visual images. This is why blind people have such a knack for music. The lack of vision frees up their mind to deal with other complex computational issues.
The internet, as it evolves towards singularity, gets increasingly complex to the point where normal people can no longer handle the computational information flow. That's where Mr. Universe comes in. Only he can see, so he's too slow on the neural net to handle the data stream as the signal starts flowing, which is why we replace him with Riona. With direct connection to the internet, she can hear, feel and "see" the net. She becomes an essential key figure to the resistance, but as she does this wirelessly while wandering around at renaissance faires, the alliance is unable to track her down, assuming that she will be sitting in a giant "i'm the target" radio transmitter like the last signal operator.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

A DT a chara,
Disappointing. Why does it always seem to come back to my visual impairment with you? Oh well. I'd rather be the other type of Miss Universe, the pretty one. But Renaissance Faires are one of my favorite things, so I guess its not all bad.
Wish I was born that way, I don't know any better. But as often happens, the secret that no one likes to tell parents who have kids with differences, is that if they have one by, say, age 15 they'll end up with another by, say, age 30 more likely than not. Of course that isn't always true, but it sure was for me, mental illness landed on my plate at 13, not the sweet touched kind either.

Are you trying to say that you're nutter butters, 'cause darlin' I'm not following...You seem functional to me. Got good drugs, I take it??
Nervous breakdowns happened alot in the past in my family. I think it's because they feel things deeply, but were always sooo repressed and chastized for it that they just eventually lost it...
I've been telling people of breeding age for a while, if you and your other half have any traits in common, they will most likely be amplified, both in positive and negative ways, and they just stare blankly. I think you can pretty much guess what your kids would be like sometimes...
Hey, I'm pretty sure 20 years from now they'll be able ta grow ya new eyeballs, right in your head. Or is that something you'd even want??

Wish, you can't really get away with that growing new eyeballs thing when someone grew up used to something, that would be like you getting super powers all of a sudden, you'd be overwhelmed. But with little ones they should totally go for it. I don't know any better because I was born that way so it would be too overwhelming for me, not as bad as if someone had never seen and then suddenly whammo, but still a bit too much.
Yeah medicine is a good thing for me. I'm fortunate though in that I've never had to land in hospital so its not as bad as it could be, but it still hurts a lot. I'd rather be touched or be neurotypical, being the "other" isn't fun.

Oh, and it doesn't impact my ability to talk in straight lines and sound functional, that would be wayyyyy more interesting than what it actually does do.
