Rick I know just how you feel, I am visually impaired with BEB and other problems and I found that there are some that don't want to be seen with you, but I look at it this way, it's there problem and I tell them in a nice way, hey why don't we go out sometime and push it a little to see what they say. If the friend that you this is close they might not even realize what there doing, give them a chance , but you have to talk to them about it other wise you will always wonder why they didn't call, they might think that you didn't want to talk to them. If all fails find new friends. My ICQ is ybnornal, besides what is that anyway.
