Don't worry, I'm going to respect your wishes and not talk about my own experiences with, "but you look fine to me." I did want to say that I do wish there was something I could do to help. Okay there's a Dodger game on TV right now and that's pretty rare for this cable company so I'm turning my eyes and attention to that.

I imagine it must be hard/tricky/delicate to tell an insistent person that by your definition, she's not part of your community.

My mind's been going on similar lines lately... you put this incredibly well and I'm glad to see that at least so far you aren't getting a flood of angry "I think I'm disabled so I should get to talk about spoons!" the way I did.

The Curse of the Invisible Disability. I've actually considered getting a cane so that I'm perceived as less-than-rambunctiously-healthy. (And, of course, so I can pound the crap out of people like wheelchair-pusher-guy. What an ass!) Oy. The Curse of the Invisible Disability.

Nicola and I would be rich if they gave out dimes for all the people who get "really tired too," along with all the people who say <em>But you look so good!</em> (including the wheelchair-pusher guy at the Atlanta airport who nearly refused her a chair because <em> Well, you look fine to me!</em>). Arrrgh indeed. <strong>Zack</strong>, nothing in particular. An accretion of annoyance rather than a catalytic event. Thanks all for your kind words.
