Sight Loss Support Group

There is a support group on Facebook which is affiliated with my blog.

My blog is all about my story.

But this group is all about yours.

We have parents, friends, family and people with the differing forms of Macular Dystrophy. Having this condition isn’t a necessity to join. We have people with different conditions within the group. The spectrum of blindness, if you have it, whatever the cause, makes this group for a safe space to be with a whole dollop of understanding.

You’re very welcome to join. Anyone can. It’s free and a very supportive place to ask questions, lend support or just be involved silently with a bunch of people whom understand our blurry world.

You can post anonymously.

You can moan, rant and rave. Tell us your story. Ask advice. Give advice. Show your frustrations. Tell us the funny story about something that has happened. Any interesting tips or hacks you’ve discovered.

The group is set to private so you can chat away without anyone you know seeing what you’re doing (Unless they are in the group themselves)

The link below will take you to the Group.

All painstakingly hand-drawn by myself.

I still strive to be creative still even though it’s increasingly harder for me to do so. I do enjoy making these graphics when I’m in the mood!

Blue Raspberry ice pops

The perils of being sight impaired and greedy for ice pops.

In my quest of trying to obtain even more Mr Freeze Blue Raspberry ice pops, as I seem to be addicted to them and want them at all times to be in my freezer 😋

Buying my home items for the renovations, inspiration struck. A light bulb moment if you will.

I’m new to this whole Amazon thingy bob. I didn’t know they did food.

I know. I know before you say it.

Also (This is not an add for Amazon OR Mr Freeze by the way) I don’t get offers of collabs or free stuff like the big boy sight loss blog creators.  Nobody will take a chance on me with my rants and the little cartoon me pictures and videos I make. And I do make them. From scratch. Along with my rants and endless posts that gets 1 like. 2 if I’m lucky. (This is turning into a rant. Sorry) they are also written by myself. Nothing AI. Maybe I should try an AI post see how that does. I won’t though because I won’t quit this yet.

I’m not a face to camera video blogger and never will be. But I’m sure as hell thinking Mr Freeze himself (I’m certain he’s real) should send little old me some ice pops just because I’m keeping them afloat at the moment all by myself.

I looked for theses incredible yummy treats, as I only had about 10 left and was getting nervy they would be gone. In my excitement I unknowingly put anti-freeze in my Amazon basket and was looking forward to downing the lovely blue stuff within it’s bottle. Thinking it was some pop version of the blue raspberry ice pop.

Being blurry, (Other blurry people will understand) I always check and double check before I checkout and pay on anything.

And there it was. Don’t know how it ended up within my avidly rushed search result. I’m quite disappointed it wasn’t real. It should be though @mr.freezepops

Death avoided.
