Your funny greer lol I like that. One thing we have to have a sence of humor at this age too. :)

Without a sense of humor, I could not make it through the day.

My husband that past was disabled but I fell hard for him. His intelligence attacked me to him and his humor. He got a virus once a type of palsy his face did that took awhile to come back and still that side looked tired never came back fully to normal. Not always a stroke does that.

That is for sure got to laugh even when I'm crying lol I'll find something funny about it.

Afte Dad died, we were looking through pics of him, younger and we cried and laughed, just remembering the event or time.

Yeah I know what you mean. My dad died when I was 25 of cancer. He could be a pain some times but he was usually right. Lord 3 girls poor guy lol

There are 3 of us girls, and Mike!
Those two never got to do what they wanted.

Oh the sacrifices we make when we have kids. But, I don't think I would have changed a thing. I was blessed with a healthy girl and boy. They are developing into 2 wonderful young adults.

For the most part, mine, too!!!!!

THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES, THOUGH!!!!!!

I've got 2 boys and 1 girl and boy do I know what you mean greer

ALL of us parents understand those things.

Don't i know it

Honesty or honestly-is the best policy i told.

Hey kool where have you been. You should always be who you are, if the people don't like who you are or the way you look then they don't have to look, there are others out there who will like what the see no matter what the problem is if you are upfront with them from the beginning.

Poor baby! I feel sorry for her. She should have let you know ahead of time, I guess, but what's she like aside from the disability? Can you see past that or is it something that blinds you to everything else?

She should of let you know, but what was it that made you not want to see her again? Her dishonesty or the disability?

VERY GOOD QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!

I'll drink to that ladies

Very good point

I have mixed feelings on this one. I mean we are talking about going out on a date not premarital counceling.

I don't think that I am obligated to give a comprehensive run down of my medical history to go out on a first date with someone unless I am contagious. I certainly don't think I have to declare anything about my financial affairs. Since most people have their own insurance I think it is ridiculous to jump to the conclusion that someone is looking for another to provide insurance. I certainly would NOT chose someone for a relationship on that basis.

If she was able to get to the date, eat the dinner on her own, and generally converse with you she met the expectations of social behavior for that date. If she didn't lie to you and tell you she was "perfect in every way" I don't see how she was being deceptive. It is entirely possible that her perception of the condition is that it is no big deal if she is independent enough to live on her own and go on a date.

If you do not want to develope a relationship with her because she doesn't meet your standard of appearance or communication that does not make you a jerk.
It may make you regret missing out on someone who has the ability to survive, recover, and overcome sometime in the future when you face similiar circumstances. At over fifty that might be sooner than you think.
