[Blindtlk] OT Wedding Registry

I believe mine is from ILA; either ILA or MaxiAids.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

I'm trying to remember where I bought the scale or even what 
brand it
is.  I've had it for over 5 years.   My best guess is that I got 
it from
ILA, but I'm not 100% on that.

 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!

 Hello List,
 Jessica from Virginia here...  I post every once in a while.  I 
think I
 have
 mentioned that I am getting married March 24th.  I am going 
threw and
 doing
 the registering for wedding stuff thing.  My future husband 
already has a
 good bit of stuff because he already lives on his own in a 
house.  I am
 writing to ask for any suggestions on things a blind woman may 
find useful
 in either maintaining a home or cooking or I don't know?  Of 
course we are
 registering for the usual, I just didn't know if there were any 
cool
 cooking
 or something type thing that people find extra useful.  Is there 
anything
 that ya'll feel like you couldn't live with out.  Things I have 
thought of
 are: talking caller ID, maybe a talking thermostat.  Anything I 
may be
 missing?  Also, in the products I just named, do any of you have 
specific
 suggestions on which ones to get and where they may be sold?

 Thanks, any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
 Jessica

 Subject: [Blindtlk] U-verse DVR help

 Hi list:

 Just got U-verse installed on Saturday and looking for some 
helpful tips
 on
 using the DVR for recording and playback.  The web guide doesn't 
seem all
 that accessible or maybe I'm not understanding how to read it 
using jaws
 12
 and IE8.  Any ideas on recording using either the website or 
remote?
 Thanks!

 Reese
