From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes no sense at all. My illness is genetic, and so were I physically capable of bearing children, they wouldn't be healthy either, so I must conclude this attractiveness of me with a disability is cultural. It's also frightening. There's a reason I don't go out with those peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-24092730304884071312009-01-09T04:50:00.000-08:002009-01-09T04:50:00.000-08:00I won't attempt to answer to "do you want a lover ...I won't attempt to answer to "do you want a lover who..." question. I will say, I take my wife to the train most mornings, and we sit and chat a few minutes before the train arrives...on the topic, among other things, of who's wearing the high heels and what in God's name are they doing it for? I guess it pumps up those calf muscles, if that's your idea of a good time. But I'm on Dr. House's side regarding the wearing of sensible shoes. "Only a masochist would wear those to try and get a job," he said of the applicant in stilettoes. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Barbara, my wife, was thrown from a horse a month ago and is now limited to going around in a plexi torso shell. You want to look helpless, that's really the way to go. Skip the slow burn on the heels.Gregory Frost...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05091726571124277058noreply@blogger.com
