Oh, because I live alone you think no one else is ever in my house?
Bzzzzt! I have people in and out of here all the time. Living alone
does not mean I live in a freakin' bubble. Don't talk to me about

every intolerance known to man.

I have yet to discover what this disability of yours is. It apparently
doesn't stop you from running around to stores, schlepping Angela to and
from dance class and shopping all the time. Whatever this "disability"
is, it sure doesn't seem to slow you down.
