To whom it may concern.


I carry a letter around with me at all times just like they told me to. It is from my doctor. When I need to show it to somebody, like when I am for instance about to get thrown out of Kroger, I reach into my pocket & I take it out & unfold it. Then I show it to the person who is mad.

The letter always says this when they read it:

//To Whom it May Concern:

//Please be advised that [------ ----] is under my psychiatric care. As part of her ongoing treatment, she wears a therapeutic mask in public. The mask enables her to interact with others to the extent necessary to purchase food, medicine, & other life essentials.

//I ask that appropriate accommodation be made for her appearance. Should you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to call me at [(---) -------].

//This letter complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section blah blah blah.

//Sincerely, Dr. [--- ------].\\

But the lady at Kroger did not care about the letter I carry. She told me to leave the store & to not come back.

I left the store & walked across the store's parking lot. I sat down on tree legs.

  2. I don't know whether a think tank stumbled upon that idea or whether it's just common sense for any system, eventually: People hanging on by their fingernails rarely do much kicking.

  3. Maybe the letter didn't work because she didn't think you HAD a mask on?

    I need on of those letters written up, that's a cool thing to have.
