[Blindtlk] Internet dating for the blind

[jaber37837 at cox.net]

I hear what you're saying. It just seems like a chance...a chance to be 
happy for once....I don't know.

I know, you're right about my Dad too, but he really doesn't have any 
commitments to keep. He drives around all day and goes to Wal mart. I'm 
paying him to bring me there, so it would help him out. It's probably why he 
agreed.

I know, now it sounds like I'm defending this guy...I really don't know what 
I'm thinking or feeling...
