Hey guys I'm new here :-) I have FND and blindness and recently gotten into tactile collages. 

This Monday

Share a stupid story or event that happened because of your disability.

I was squeezing lemons from my brothers lemon tree to freeze some lemon juice and use the rest to make lemonade. I was done with the last lemon when I accidentally tipped over the entire container and therefore wasted the entire tree for that year lol.

Here's another story! My brother is fully sited and we had just gotten Chick-fil-A. They didn't give us a barbecue sauce so my brother got some from the fridge. I dipped my nuggets into the sauce and then I was confused. It tasted strange so I asked my brother to look at it. It turns out he put maple syrup beside my nuggets instead of barbecue sauce 😂

Anybody anywhere can make mistakes :-)

@persistentWatermelon4897 Hi there welcome to Disability Support! I'm Misty!

That is a sad thing about the lemons, you can't even make lemonade lol!

 and honey doesn't sound that bad but expecting BBQ sauce maybe that was the shock.

Looking forward to seeing you post more.

Greetings, Mr. Watermelon. Since you're blind, I take it you use a voice-to-text app?

As for me, I don't have a story that really stands out...after years of getting up, working & living like everyone else, I was diagnosed in early 2017 (incorrectly, but that's another story). Once before that & at least four times after, I fell down. I might as well have been a toddler learning how to walk. 😂 It was part of figuring out how to handle my condition & work around it, when possible.

Thanks so much for the acknowledgment 🙂 and yes I use voice to text and I guess the other way around two.
