[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 647317, member: 3419"] I'm glad you helped her. Yes, a lot of people are jerks. It's so hard to be out there in public and just keep breathing. I participated in an art event a few yrs ago. One of the artists is handicapped and has MS. Every now and then, out of nowhere, she just freezes. Well, we were at another booth, buying something (soap or popcorn, can't recall). She had her money in her hand and had an episode. Her head was tilted at a downward angle, as though she were looking at the money, and the money was in her grasp, trembling all over. She couldn't reach the countertop, and every time she did, she'd tremble and her hand would slide off. The vendor was very impatient and I said, "She's okay. Just give her a minute." The vendor sighed and just grabbed the money. Arrrghhh! I mean, the artist has a cane, and she's clearly trembling, you'd think the vendor would notice. I was going to buy something and changed my mind. :( [/QUOTE]
