you may be right about people making stupid assumptions about the mental/intellectual capability of those with visible disabilities.

as for your neighbor, i'm all for you saying "Fuck off! It's my house and it's staying my house!" every time he comes with that crap. He should be so lucky to have you for a neighbor.

i think that struck a chord because i was only able to buy a house at the age of 60 and here's where I will live out my days, and I am so tired of people trying to get me to sell it, or move, or whatever. In my mind I always think fuck off! this is my house.
