[blparent] talking thermometers?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Best wishes getting your daughter back.  I hope it happens soon.  You might 
get some copies of the booklet "Parenting Without Sight" from the NFB Web 
page.  It is free, and it has helpful tips for social workers, attorneys, 
and others who are dealing with blind parents.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
