Annie I appreciate the original question that started this discussion. I noticed many things about my oldest child right from the start. Her not wanting to...
Hi again, Annie, ... Fair enough, and it could be a nearsighted thing. It'd certainly make sense. And now that you mention it, I've seen a couple other...
Dawn, That was a great description. I agree. In general, I find it very helpful and freeing to tell people that I'm faceblind, and recruit them to help me...
