My fav is this woman, a double leg amputee who loves swimming and was given a working mermaid tail expecially adapted to her made by a movie special effects team.
Mir(Maidrns) can’t reproduce.
It also says she’s a hairdresser, which would entail lots of standing in one place, so I would agree she’s probably no longer diabled.
She didn’t say that, the article writer did.
You’re right, it wasn’t her, it was the author There’s this line, from her but everything thing else the author added in:
As she told Fox News: “It makes me feel amazing, makes children smile, makes adults smile, everybody happy – you don’t expect to see a mermaid at the pool.”
However, it still (IMHO) a poorly written article. With lines such as:
No fins are allowed in the pool, she was told, even if you’re a mermaid [Really, that’s what they told her? How about telling the reader what she was really told so we can understand the rule the HOA is enforcing]
(Of course there were mermaids around during the Renaissance.) [I know that’s sarcastic, it just sounds stupid though]
Seven year after a brain tumor cost her the use of her legs and she had to learn to walk again [So it didn’t cost her the use of her legs, maybe there was a better way to write that sentence]
I think there were a few others. I know this was probably an attempt at a lighthearted article, it just seemed to miss the mark (at least on me) and end up coming off like someone whipped it up in 5 minutes and posted it without having another set of eyes take a look at it first.
Could be. Even odds on them saying, “Crap, looks like we do have a rule against that. Guess we need to do something.” I know several HOAs who prefer to be able to (nicely) say to complainers, “There is no rule against what you are constantly bitching about so stop being such an ass.”
