[blparent] lights and sighted children

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Jan, the timer thing is easy.  You can buy one at any place like Wal-Mart. 
You just plug it into the wall, it has two prongs on the back that go into 
the outlet.  Then you plug your lamp into the front, where there are two 
holes that feel like a wall outlet.  Have someone set the timer for when the 
lamp should go on and when it should go off, and that's it.

Good luck,
Jo Elizabeth

"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
