[nagdu] mobility-the deciding factor?

[Jewel S.]

'I am also a slow reader at about 45 wpm. And as for chicken
confidence, may I suggest a talking meat thermometer? Check the
temperature of the meat. If it's at the right temp for chicken, then
it'll be fine for eating.

This from someone who went to a meeting the other day with a container
of homemade candy to share. When a member at the meeting asked me
"You're blind? Then how did you make these candies?" I told him,
"Cooking without looking. It's quite easy, actually." and he hmmm'd
and grabbed another of my delicious applesauce candies. I think I
taught one person at least that blind people are not helpless and can
do things just as good, if not better. None of the people there could
cook candy like me!
