I’ve gone ahead and started [the inevitable pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16475222) so we can post a little more freely on the subject of our newest paralyzed friend. ---

Hanging out in a group situation to mitigate the threat level? etc.? Not worth giving this guy a shot wholesale face value because he has a wandering eye? The other topic did say about all that, but I still think it’s a bit strange. Anyway she claimed to be completely paralyzed from the neck down, I’m partially paralyzed from the waist and I can largely still feel my legs and have slight movement so it’s not even that similar a case in all honesty as far as I can tell. 😕 ---

If you want to give him a shot, you could meet him for lunch or a drink and give him an audition. If most of his questions are about your condition (rather than you as a person) then you have your answer. ---

> [@jaymac1](#): > > If anyone can tell me how to upload a photo I will. I’m an 18 year old girl, living in Rutherglen, near Glasgow, Scotland. I attend a local sixth form college as a student. Do you want more proof I exist? 😕 If you’re an 18 year old girl at college, you’re the only one I’ve ever met who’s not already more than familiar with how to upload photos. Selfies are in this year. ---
