[Diabetes-talk] whole lemons

Me, too!  When microwave ovens were first on the market, I wanted one.  And 
I didn't want one that didn't have the probe and that came with a ddial.  I 
wanted the one where you touched the numbers.  I know, I know--not 
accessible.  But the oven beeped when you touched a number, and at that time 
the numbers were slightly raised and they were in little squares, which 
could also be felt.  So I learned to set my time by very carefully working 
my way around the edges and between them.  I learned this because, when we 
went to the store, the salesperson said "Oh, you won't want that one. 
You'll want this nice one over here that's accessible."  Should I have 
followed his advice?  Probably--but that's definitely not my nature!  Say 
"You can't possibly do that," and I'll figure out a way!

yes Sandy, this was one of the things I shared with my family as well.
That I wouldn't go blind being a diabetic.
I admire all of you who have gone blind being a diabetic in this case,
still laughing and moving rite along.
I'm to mean not to do so.
If someone says Dar can't do something, trust me with in reason I let
them know I can.
They have learned not to say it.
Or I will ignore them and do it anyway.
As I share it is dars way.
