Tue Jun 27 14:56:13 UTC 2017

Hello Justin and all,
I can't thank you enough for all the support. I was very hesitant to send an 
email asking for help and your response has been overwhelming. I am very 
excited to check out every suggestion you have given.
Justin,I appreciate you sharing your feelings about where I should look. I 
will definitely check out the NFB Independence Market page first.Mahalo! 
(did I get that right?)
Best Regards Always,
Joanna

Aloha Joanna, et. al,

I want to offer a link to the NFB Independence Market page: 
https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/default.asp

The NFB Independence Market, located within our national headquarters, is a 
place where we sell things at-cost, and the products we sell there have some 
sense of validity because we are a group of blind consumers running a store 
for ourselves. Even if the market doesn't have something you want, I 
strongly encourage you to communicate what your desires are so that the 
market can consider carrying such a product.

I also saw mention of Maxi-Aids, and I want to offer something on them. They 
are no longer invited to NFB national conventions as an exhibitor because 
they got in trouble for selling used products as "New," as if they thought 
blind people were too dumb to figure it out. I don't use them at all because 
of that. Even if I got a decent product, I have to maintain some sense of 
dignity.

I also have gone to Independent Living Aids in the past, but calling my 
friends at the NFB Independence Market is always step one for me.

Take care,

Justin

Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can purchase a good quality 
talking watch  that is not sporty  but dressy?
Also, does anyone know of exercise videos that have descriptive video with 
it?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joanna
