[Blindtlk] Identifying Clothes and organization

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

I think that these were called Do-Dots.  Judy and I paid maybe $150 for a
set of them, only to discover that they tended to break after they went
through the clothes dryer.  Someone lost a significant amount of money on
the molds for these things, and they were off the market within a year or
two.  

This is kind of like the sock holders made by WizPeg which were featured at
an NFB convention a couple of years ago.  I don't think that the company is
still around, but the ones I bought at that time are still useful.
