Several people have used a screen reader to place the order. No problem I
understand deadlines! Now if you do place the order on line at
www.playtoachieve.com please let me know you have placed the order. We have
had some problems where I don't get credit for the order so I need to let
them know when orders go in on my site.

Thanks so much.

Do not hate me. I am desperately trying to meet a deadline for an
application  for a white house fellowship. So I might place the order
without imposing on your time, is the site accessible for screen readers? I
should have asked that initially.

Hi, I've included the product descriptions for the winter sale. The first
list of toys is on sale from now through Jan 31, but the second set of toys
is only on sale this week and does not continue into January. If you have
any questions about anything including how to be a consultant or earning
free toys please let me know. I also ask that if you choose to order on my
site to please let me know as my site seems to be having some problems. They
aren't problems that affect you or your ordering, but me getting the credit
for the sale. While we are fixing the problem it helps me to know when
people order. Thanks!
