I also have all my phone numbers Brielde as well as having them in my phone. I keep a box of cards with bryant credit card numbers and other information with card numbers that I might carry in mywallet. If anyone needs a number, like calling a credit card number into a hotel for a reservation or doing this online with plane reservations I have all my credit and debit card numbers brailled like I say nothing in my house is sacred. It's simply gets Brailled.

Four, if something should happen to my husband, who is cited, I need to be able to manage things without him. Being there. I had better know where things are, just in case. I read to my children and braille, everything in my house has a label. Sometimes I have evenknow where things are. Particularly if they may not belong to me; and/or I need to take them somewhere.
