I quite like # 2 but then I remember that I learned how to use fingers instead of cutlery - and if the food is soup then two hands picking up the bowl to drink from it... ...I guess I am just an impolite eater!
The last photo was meaningful to me. I remember my buddy rigging his boom box to bike to have mobile music...one of my favorite movies is "Wall Street". Gordon Gecko is holding a state of the art cell phone, the size of a loaf of bread. On one paw I love my MP3 player and appreciate how much easier it is as a student or writer to use word processing. But I also have a bumper sticker that sez " 1984 was a Warning, Not a Blueprint"
Getting back to my message #4 [which proves it was yesterday I had no internet] the last wedding I went to, which was a daughter of friends of mine - I was at a large round table with all the family. Well, why not. And they all knew how useless my hands are so totally ignored the fact that I was eating with my fingers and not with cutlery, and the grandfather of the bride told the waiters/waitresses so they gave me a pack of baby wipes as well as extra linen napkins! The future? Who knows what is going to happen in the future. The thing to do is accept the present time and not give a flying traf if you have to do things differently. So I was at a wedding where there were probably over a thousand guests, and I ate using my fingers instead of knives and forks. And not one person was bothered or embarrassed.
Glad to see you back Malka. Yes, you are right the only way is to accept life as it is, and live in the present. I have to admit that I'm not very good at doing it, but Tweed and Eddie keep giving me lessons.
I long ago lost embarrassment by being how and what I am. If it embarrasses others then that is their problem. I am what I am. Oh, and I love that sculpture of Alison Lapper.
