[Nfb-krafters-korner] My Opinion, Oh Well

Tue Mar 21 04:42:38 UTC 2017

HI.

I’m just glad there are some email classes I can participate in.  I try not to sign up for phone classes unless I know I can make it.  The other issue for me, is that being in Australia, I have to use something like Skype out, and if my internet is throwing a hissy fit like it often does, I would keep being thrown out, or the call breaks up so much I can’t hear what’s being said, and end up relying on the notes.  Still, I’m grateful fore the email classes.

Maria
