Absolutely, one hundred ten percent agreement. If I liked doing

Hi Cara,
Exactly my point. People seriously need to try enjoy the life they
have, deal with their problems in a mature and meaningful manner, and
not try and use games as a substitute for life. Games, although fun

Actually fencing is very doable for a VI person. I know because I do it. :)
Not only have I fenced other VI people but sighted fencers as well, and I mean
this in a competitive sense. Once you get acquainted with the common moves and
combinations you can quite easily tell what's happening and
starter really when the effort for access is so
radically different.
