Walking Stick For The Blind

PLZ DO THIS
i need the answers
thx :D

To me, it's a question of circumstances and need. I currently have some vision, and I use a cane. I plan to get a dog as my vision continues to decline, but I currently have three large pet dogs, one very old and very closely bonded to me. I wouldn't bring another dog into the house, particularly one who will go with me everywhere, until my older dog passes. So for me, these circumstances help me make the choice to stick with a cane for now.

In general, I'd choose a guide dog over a stick for several reasons. Dogs can guide around overhanging obsticles that canes don't detect. Dogs guide around obsticles rather than just dectecting them for you, making travel a bit more -- graceful -- to my mind, although I've only had sighted people shout at me a couple of times to let me know that my cane was about to encounter a trash can or something. Embarassing that they don't realize that locating the object is what the cane's for, and that I don't need to be protected from it, but there you have it. They were trying to be nice.

Granted, a person gives up certain information when switching to a dog. Guided around certain objects, a person may loose information about the environment or obsticles that would be useful to them -- where are all the local mailbox drops, etc. You can also get some information from a cane that you only get from the dog if you train it to tell you that info, like how high the seat of a chair is. I've also had some tell me that it can be easier to detect changes in the surface you're about to step onto when using a cane, since the dog may move more confidantly than the person on some surfaces and you might be onto the slick surface before you interpret the info coming through the dog and the dog's harness. This may just depend on the team and the level of training they maintain between them, too.

Finally, I already live with dogs, so the "changes" inherant in adding a dog to my life in general would not be changes for me at all, but just an extension of my current life. I'd also enjoy the partnership, since I've many reasons for knowing that trusting a trained dog's instincts can work well if a team is well matched.

He always did his show at the hotel I worked for and suckered so many people into giving him $$$$. He used to stay in our $2,500/night suite and have all kinds of nice fine wines and food brought to his room. He would have limosine service and live like a king. He always brought is entourage with him to service him during his stay. All these people in wheelchairs and walking sticks would come to see him to hopefully get healed. I will tell you this, I never found a wheelchair, walking stick, cane, blind persons stick, etc. left after any of his sermons.

ah another wonderful American shyster who has his sheep following blindly. Noone can be cured by any God....its a sham...and a lie and anyone falling for Benny or his type should be locked away from society.

Yesterday, as usual, I went to my wife office early to fetch her home. After alighting from my car and heading for a hot cup of milo as usual. On my way, I saw two salesman standing on the pathway along the road and I noticed a nice watch one of the salesman there was wearing. My eyes were on the watch as I passed by them and suddenly at a glimb of a glance I saw a walking stick swinging towards my way. I tried to avoid collision with the blind man especially but unfortunately, timing was too close and too late. I hopped hoping not to hit the swinging stick but I hit the stick and broke it.
At that very moment, I felt very bad. I apologised and asked him he is ok and offered the blind man a lift home. He rejected my offer and told me off. He rudely make a comment telling me am I blind. I was stunned by his words and swallowed it. If he was not blind, I would have make a scene there but I swallowed it. Then, he start telling me how much the stick cost and what he going to do without it. I took out $50 and asked him to get a new one and the balance he can take a cab home. The two salesman were busy trying to make good to the walking stick as good as they can.

The blind man did not reject the money I offered in a way but I insisted. He took it and say thank you.

I felt good in a way but I thought handicap people are usually kind and modest but this one was meant.

Told my wife about it and she told me this blind man is especially meant in the company.

Any opinions on handicap people???
By the way, my wife ever walked her to the bus stop and she thought good deed done. Do know what the blind man said to her??? He told her is that all she can do. LOL. What a Man!

Nobody wants to be blind or handicap...live with it! if you are born this way. Why want to show everyone who do u good like you are so exceptional??? or blaming everyone you are handicap. This isn't the way, right???
He is abusing his position as a handicap I assume.

So waz d question?

You have done your part to solve the matter well, so be in peace.As for his attitude, I always believe that people are shaped by what they went through...the pain and all. He may be mean but we never know..it may be because so many have been mean to him that he does not really know how to be nice anymore.I do pity such people actually.You ever heard of 'hurt people hurt people'? Take a close examination of this statement...it is pretty true.
Anyway...for the handicaps..I am just thankful that in Singapore, there are a lot of support groups and organizations for them. Many are really wonderful people who needs a lot of love to accept the way they are.

At the bus stop, there was a couple with three children and a blind man waiting for the bus. However, the bus that came was too crowded and only the wife and three children could squeeze in.
Feeling frustrated, the husband and the blind man decided to walk. Every step that the blind man took was accompanied by the tick tocking of his walking stick. The husband was very irritated and exclaimed:" Will you stop moving your stick!!" The blind man immediately replied:" If you had stopped moving your stick we would have been in the bus already!!!!"

For those who don't understand, the husband's stick is his sexual organ.

After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him,
"Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy."
The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus... so shut the hell up."
