[Nfb-seniors] listening to conference calls

[Dianne Hemphill]

Hello Senior's - I am glad I was able to join the original calls and think the information that has been shared is so very valuable. Ensuring that we, as blind senior's, understand the importance of ensuring that our finances are well  under our control and how we go about it was an excellent first topic for the conference calls. Unfortunately many senior's who are either losing their vision or who may have always dependent on someone else, like a spouse,  for ensuring bills are paid, etc, must be encouraged to take responsibility for their money...far too often, someone offers help who shouldn't be given the trust with this major area of our lives... also, found Fatose's topic of the impact of your blindness to family and friends, very insightful.  This loss of vision has such a wide impact on all those around us and how we move forward has a lot to do what how we either help those around us move forward as well or that we choose to move forward though many may not view us  as ready/capable.  I would really find further discussion via this e-mail option, as one that would have ongoing benefit to all of us. I honestly find most senior's experiencing the full joy of living, having had contact with NFB  members who have incorporated the positive philosophy in their every day  lives. We have both a lot to offer those going through the vision loss and a new way to spreading the message of capability, independence and fostering a full productive life. Hope to hear from others...so glad the division is providing this wonderful opportunity. Dianne Hemphill - Kansas

>> Hi, Dwight Weird! Meaning, you do have the correct address, I just used it and it went right to the home page of seniors.nfb.org, and the page for the recordings was also functioning and the May 1st recording also came up when I hit enter on it. Weird! Not sure what was happening for you. Below is a link to our site: you should be able to just click/enter on it, and if for some weird reason it does not fire off for you, copy and paste it into your browser (control-o to enter in a web address) and do it that way. http://seniors.nfb.org -----Original Message----- From: Nfb-seniors [mailto:nfb-seniors-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Dwight Johnson Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2014 1:16 PM To: 'NFB Senior Division list' Subject: Re: [Nfb-seniors] listening to conference calls I listened to the most recent call and I want to listen to the previous one which took place on May first.  Instructions were given  to go to seniors.nfb.org but when I tried that the page could not be found.  Can you help? Thanks, Dwight Johnson -----Original Message----- From: Nfb-seniors [mailto:nfb-seniors-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Judy Sanders Sent: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 6:20 PM To: nfb-seniors at nfbnet.org Subject: [Nfb-seniors] listening to conference calls In case you wish to hear a recorded version of our conference calls below are instructions sent to Ruth Sager. To: Ruth Sager Subject: RE: info from freeconferencecall.comFW: Free Conference Call Playback Detail Report Ruth If someone wishes to listen to the recording, there are three options: #1 visit our Division’s website and go to the page for listening to recordings of our conference calls. Then it is a matter of choosing which recording to listen to. all the person does is click on the link of the recording they want to listen to, and after a few seconds (maybe 10 up to 20 seconds) it will start playing, right there on their computer. This of course, presupposes  the computer has speakers and the volume is up. Our division’s website is at: http://senior.nfb.org #2 If the person wants to download the MP3 file from our website, and transfer it to another device, you would: Place the cursor on the link to the recording that you want to capture, press the applications key (the key immediately to the left of the right control key), which then brings up a menu of options,  arrow down to “Save Target. And press enter. then you must choose where it is you want the computer to save the file. (this option takes a person with some computer savvy.) #3 To listen to it by phone- no computer is involved in this option: Dial: (712) 432-1202 Then when asked, dial this access code: 759633Pound Then, the system will give you two options, take the second one, which is to press the Pound Key, to listen to the most recent recording. (the first option would allow a person to choose one recording, out of an entire list, if you know the correct identification code.)
