[nfb-db] Newby to the list

[Cherifields at aol.com]

Hi Delcenia,
 
I haven't heard anyone say which night the seminar was going to be  on.  
They talking about another work shop of SSP's.  The meeting for  the 
conference call was moved to the 29th.  We should know something then.  I believe 
pres. Joe had to hear from Baltimore about scheduling.
 
I hope you can go Delcenia.  Thank you for asking.  Are you on  Janice's 
e-mail list?  She is the one who will e-mail members of the  numbers and time.
 
Marvelous Monday to you. xxxx  Cheri

Hello Anjelina, 
Welcome to the list!
 
Hello everyone on the list as well, 
 
I just return from a great weekend in Baltimore, MD. Visiting the Jernigan 
Institute. Does anyone know what time the  deaf blind division will be held 
on Tuesday at the National  Convention?
 
Thanks and again, welcome to the  list
Delcenia

Hi everyone and welcome Anjelina,  Scot has some good point.   I was only 
going to add that maybe you should have the blind services  evaluate you on 
mobility and hopefully the mobility instructor can tell the  agency whether 
or not you can safely cross alone or need aids aor  assistence.  Maybe a 
guide dog will help.
All these things can be worked out with counselor.  
Well, let us know how you do.  
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. Cheri

Hi  Anjelina and welcome to the list.
There are a few things that come to  mind, though what those are
depends on the circumstances of the  crossing. For example, when you
are at a street where there is light  traffic and no stop sign, you may
be able to compensate by turning your  left ear to face the right side
quickly and then back. Obviously, if  the sound becomes louder in your
left ear when you turn toward it, the  vehicle is on your right side.
Granted, this assumes the cars are  moving more slowly since you're on
a street corner with less  traffic.
For more busy intersections, you may find that due to your  slight
hearing loss, you will still be able to detect surges in  traffic, so
this may not be such an issue. Though with surges, you may  also find
the same method above will be enough to get you to where you  need to
go relatively safely. However, I'd recommend before just using  this
method, that you go with someone who has enough hearing or vision  to
the corners you frequent and try to determine whether you think  a
crossing is safe or not.
I'm sure others can give you some tips  and tricks as well, these are
just some inicial thoughts.

Happy  Saturday!
Scott
