[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 8/2/17

[Nella Foster]

Henry when it comes to UEB I guess we old dogs will have to learn some new
tricks.

I can't imagine not knowing Braille.  I use it for labeling, keeping notes
and of course just reading.

I don't think I could have ever gotten through college algebra if I hadn't
been able to use Braille.  It can take sheets and sheets of paper to work
out some of those equations. Lol

I used to have to do a lot of public speaking for some of the jobs I've had
and I used Braille notes for my presentations.  I've seen a few blind people
speak using an ear bud with some type of recorded notes and they never sound
very smooth to me.  It's also easy to maintain eye contact with the audience
when using Braille notes.

Good Morning to you Nella and everyone, I have been a Braille user for about
16 years or so.
I am a grade 2 user, I don't like the new UEB system at all, it's too
confusing I pretty much use Braille for everything like writing out
patterns, labling yarns and other items. I love to read a good book as I
always was and always will be an avid reader.

Happy Wednesday to everyone.



Let's talk about Braille today.



How many of you use Braille?



How did you learn it?



Do you know the whole code or just enough for labeling and such?



How do you use it in your everyday life?



Do you use it for crafting and if so how?



I look forward to reading all the responses.



Nella
