[Blindtlk] OT Wedding Registry

[Jessica Kostiw]

Thanks ladies,
Julie, where did you get your talking scale?  I actually have one, but it is
a piece of junk.  When it did work, every time you got on it it would give a
completely different weight.  Like if I stepped on and a minute later
stepped back on, the weight difference would be drastically different.  Lol!
It now is at the point where it randomly talks to itself.  You will be
walking by the bathroom and here "Hello" "Goodbye"; I guess it's lonely.
Lol!

Household blindness specific things that I use include:
talking alarm clock
talking bathroom scale
talking caller ID, I have the Panasonic phone sold by ILA
braille measuring cups
and lots of labels or tactile indicators on regular appliances

I'd really like to own:
a talking microwave oven
a washer/dryer without 101,000 options accessed only through menus
and
a DVD player that is easily usable without a degree in rocket science

Of course I have and use other blindness gadgets, but I tried to think 
of things that are more oriented to household use rather than personal use.

HTH and congratulations!
Julie
