    mini horses also make good guide animals. They have the advantage of strength, and long life. They do take longer to train.

    frankly, I wouldn't trust their ability to concentrate for several hours. But they definitely have the advantage that they can carry your shopping. Good point about the lifespan!
    @JD yes, hero rats :) Awesome animals!

    No need to worry, guide animals aren't the only way to get around. Plenty of visually impaired people are happy to rely on their cane skills.

    At one of the Mets games I saw last week, Keith Hernandez waved at me.

    Well not at me, personally, but everybody in my section (we were sitting right in front of the SNY broadcast booth).

    Oh, and at another game later in the week, I almost got hit with a foul ball. Bounced right off the seats on either side (!) of me, and knocked over some bottles.

    Amazon likes to deliver to my neighborhood at 7 a.m. The post office, on the other hand, doesn't deliver until 7 p.m.

    My father was a George C. Scott lookalike/actalike who appeared on WHEEL OF FORTUNE with Mr. Dingle.
    (And for two months in 2002 I resembled 2000's James Spader.)

    Not easy, but probably very good for you, in the long run. Be angry. Go grab some big pillow and beat the crap out of it.

    I once locked the principal out of his own computer while in detention in elementary school. That's what you get for leaving me unsupervised :rommie:

    I once burned down my eyelashes with a lighter at age five because I wanted to examine the flame up close.
