-Mrs. Higrens, Nah, you can’t go around examining every issue you have against the worst it could ever be or you’d never make any decisions! Small world with the brother living in your neighborhood, what a nightmare for his family! Regarding the British children’s TV hostess, I think you have a valid point. It’s actually a bit appalling that the parents would say that about her. Children will raise questions about that but it’s definitely up to the parents to explain it in a non-scary way, not to insist she cover up so they don’t have to explain it!

I guess the whole glasses vs. contact issue I have would be pretty minor then…

And if you want to go all “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” – the injured woman’s brother apparently lives in my neighborhood. I don’t know him, but it was hot news at Bunco last week.

In the same line of thought, have you seen anything on the British children’s TV hostess who is missing part of one of her arms? Apparently the parents are trashing her for “scaring” their children. My thoughts: More likely the parents don’t want to/don’t know how to deal with the questions raised and are blaming her and the TV company.

-Delisa, I think it’s a lot more fun to watch shows on DVD anyway, because then you can go on binges, you never have to wait for shows to be on, and you don’t have to suffer through commercials. Win! I really enjoy your perspective on the whole face issue. I still think it would be hard to live with the stares though.

-Perception, I think both your children and your dog would think you were beautiful just the way you were, that’s definitely true. I’m glad you would live, the world is a better place with you in it :)

I second Delisa, I would live, it may be hard with all those stares but well my baby woulnt find me ugly, would he/she? And if I every get a pet (definitely a dog) would the dog stop licking my face (i know ewwww but that how ‘lucky’was :) ) So the point is there are things and people who look beyond your face and looks, they look at your heart as long as that’s good, that’s all that matters.

I’m with you about Lost….I just finished Season One, while everyone else is watching Season…5 is it now? When it comes to the popular shows, I tend to be behind, even though I have cable with HD service and a dual-tuner DVR….hmmm…

As for the face issue, I would definitely keep on living afterward and just ignore the awkward stares and women sheilding their children’s eyes. And if it bothered me that much, I’d get reconstruction surgery. But really, looks are not what matters, and a life-changing event like that should be a good lesson of that fact.
