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

Oh, Shelbi I'm glad you mentioned the slate.

I usually have one in my purse, backpack or craft bag.  I like to quickly
write down phone numbers and such with it.

I actually used a slate to take notes in many of my college classes.  That,
was before I got a Braille and Speak.

I have a Perkins Brailler on my desk and frequently use it.

I like to make my shopping lists in Braille, but have a bad habit of
forgetting my lists. Lol

Love this topic of Braille. I started learning Braille in the Head Start
program. I then went on to learn it at the Ohio State School for the Blind.
I use grade two. Am not fond of the new UEB system but will learn it because
it is not going away. I use it for all aspects of life. When writing I can
and often do use a slate, can use a Perkins but find it heavy and bulky for
short work, can use the Braille Note and Braille Sense. I often tell people
that my house is an equal opportunity discrimination house because some
things are just labeled in print, some just Braille, and some are both.

Happy Braille reading and writing!
Shelbi

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
