[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Micro Waves, the Battle is Lost

[Peter Russillo]

Hello, if I may chime in.  The talking microwaves you mention must cost near 
$300 at least.  Most of us have either fixed incomes or are underemployed 
and cannot afford such expense; please correct me if I'm wrong about the 
pricing; thank you.

Greetings!!!
Have you tried to get a microwave from Blindmicemart.com? I have a friend 
get one from them a month or so ago and it works great!!! They sell talking 
microwaves.


I hope you have a good day!
Blessed be!!!
Kendra
Here is a  little about myself.
I am a graduate of both  the Oregon School for the Blind and Oregon City 
High School. I am a blind Pagan. I have work experience in gardening. I also 
am a crafter and painter.  I like to read, write and do anything on an 
iPhone.
I am a die hard fan of the following:
J. k. Rowling's Harry Potter Books,
J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books,
C. S. Lewis's  Kronicals of Narnia books,
L. Frank Baum's  Oz books,
Pittsburgh, Penguins,
Detroit, Red Wings,
Baltimore, Ravens,
Seattle, Sea Hawks,
Oregon State Beavers,
Portland, Winter Hawks,
And anything to do with bald eagles.

The best roads are some where out there.
My job is to discover them.
Blindness has often tested me.

Love has shown me that I can see the long awaited  stars.
Salem, Oregon showed me the way home.
Baltimore, Maryland showed me the way to the stars.
Seattle, Washington showed me that I still can fly like I have always flown.
Paganism has allowed me to fly higher than I ever have before.
As I fly, I not only have dreams come true, I also discover where those 
dreams come from.

As I move through life, I notice the many ways where my beliefs not only 
ring true, but also proven to be true by others.
I am soaring like a bald eagle as I set out to live the life I want.
I believe that everything is interconnected and full of magic.
I am happily living with my wonderful boyfriend in Salem, Oregon.
Blessed be!!!
