I Thought I Had Problems!

[TWR]

Until I sold an Item to a person in London yesterday, after a lot of battering & I could hear these unusual sounds from the background she started to tell me the item that I'd sold her would help her daughter that was in Hospital, on this note she said she had three children that all had L.D. on this I said I would reduce the price Exclude the postage, I hear a voice from the back ground saying thank you, her mother had to explain to me what was said, I't turned out she had three Children & they all had L.D.s, I wished her well & sent my regards to her children, I then thought to myself, I thought I had problems it brings you down to earth when you hear someone else's task's in life.

[ummmm]

It's not all bad. Having a disability doesn't mean that joy, love and happiness are not in your life.

[EcclesCake]

A sanctimonious and patronising stance to take, I acknowledge you did it with good intentions though.

[Peter Pedant]

having a disability is a pain in the arriss

( I couldnt see the dinner I was eating properly yesterday )
so did I start eating someone else's ? yeah sort of

[anneasquith]

Nice gesture twr, I'm sure appreciated by the family.

[ummmm]

Also...One persons 'problems' can be anothers breeze in the park.

People are so different and deal with things differently.

[THEMOTLEY1]

There is of course the possibility that you may have been scammed

[THEMOTLEY1]

But nice gesture on your part.

[TWR]

Can not help the way we are The M.

[ummmm]

Learning disabilities is such a massive spectrum.

[hc4361]

What is L.D?

[hc4361]

Ah! Now I know.

[anneasquith]

"" learning disabilities is such a massive spectrum"" and ?

[ummmm]

And what?

[Sqad]

AH! I thought LD stood for Leuco-Dystrophy of "Lorenzo's Oil" fame.
Seems it means "Learning Difficulties"

[hc4361]

My friend's son is classed as having learning disabilities and for the first few years he was at school he had his own Special Educational Needs Helper with him all day. He still has difficulties at 14 but has just got an A in GCSE biology, so it's not all doom and gloom.

To be honest, TWR, I think you've been scammed.

[TWR]

I doubt it HC.

[New Judge]

I hope you haven't been scammed, TWR, but alas your buyer would not have got such a deal from me. When dealing with people I do not know I have long since adopted a stance which one of my uncles, who was a Detective Chief Inspector in the Met, passed on to me:

"Trust nobody, believe nothing, check everything"

It's sometimes a pain but I make it a firm rule and it's served me quite well over the years. Regretably there are far too many people around who make it their business to turn others over at any and every opportunity and there are too few people like me - distrusting bar stewards - who refuse to let them do so.

What was the item that you sold her would help her daughter that was in Hospital?

Kindle Trt, not a fortune, I am very aware what's out there.
