[Blindtlk] favorite tv shows

Fri Feb 2 14:40:26 CST 2007

Oh yeah, that reminds me, for a short time there was a character on One Life 
To Live who was blind. She didn't portray a blind person very well though. 
She was always holding on to other people's arms and bumping into things. 
Luckily she had an operation and her sight was restored. Thank God! I was 
about to stop watching it!
