[blparent] totally accessible timer

I think that's the one we have and I don't like it because not all the 
buttons talk to you to know what you've done.  I've never felt comfortable 
using it.  When we used to time bites of food, I put my Braille Lite in a 
plastic bag and used it.

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
