Might do you some good, RR. Tongue

Kidding aside, I have to agree.

Then again, I wouldn't be able to read until I figured out braille. Shit. I may have chosen wrong. Either would suck ass.

There are always audio books, but that's my prime reason for wanting to keep my sight over hearing. Too many books that never make it to braille or audio.
