Topic: Just what determines "normal"? | |
---|---|
I've keeping abreast of your comments. No pun intended. I would just like to interject that she had a terrific pair of legs as well. Once a leg man, always a leg man.

I attended a luncheon last with a group of people. Sitting across from was a very beautiful woman. She was charming and seemed to be intelligent. However, one of her hands was slightly smaller than the other and her fingers were gnarled and twisted inward. Nonetheless, she appeared to be able to use it just as she could her other hand. Instead of focusing on her beauty or intelligence, my eyes were drawn to her hand. I guess because I perceived it not to be normal. Why is that beauty or intelligence are overlooked because we think that something that is not "normal"? Has anyone ever read Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Birthmark"? I've had an artificial leg since 76, but I don't consider myself abnormal. That smaller hand of hers could come in real handy in tight spots, kinda like a special tool of sorts, so I would consider it an upgrade really. I'll tell you what I think is abnormal, but it's not birth defects. It people who get their body parts pierced, or cover themselves with tats. I went to a head shop the other day to buy some incense, and I swear, the clerk must of had at about a pound of metal attached to his head. He looked like a complete weirdo to me. I'll take that little hand over a nose ring anyday ![]() |

Normal and balance. I see them on the washing machine and it's as close to normal as I want to get.
