Lora, I totally and whole heartedly agree with you. This is becoming
rediculous!

Subject: Re: [CnD] Subject Lines Discussion Gone Too Far
Frankly I am getting so tired of hearing about subject lines I would
unsubscribe if I had not been in and out of the group for a long time and
I have gotten some valuable ideas here.
If it is not a recipe that I do save in folders and they always have the
titles as a subject I am going to read and delete letters anyway. So I do
not understand all this bru-ha-ha about subjects for something we are
going to open, read a few seconds and delete anyway.
I am always telling people to stop being so negative but I have had it up
to here about subject lines. If people can't do it, they can't do it.
This is supposed to be a group for the blind and my first screen reader
was very limited and there were certain things I just could not do with
Simply Talker 98 that I can with NVDA now. So why should we be so much
harder on blind or disabled people than we expect the whole society to be?
If someone says something about a person's dog being thrown out of a
public place we are ready to call the government on them and yet if a
person says their device is hard to change the subject on we're all over
them. Of course I tab or shift tab over and change the darned subject line
or delete the long threads that go underneath if I want. But I respect
some people can't or don't know how. We should not call ourselves a group
for the blind if we are going to yell at people for not making messages
look the way we want. I think it is stupid not to give people what we
expect out of the sighted world.
Sorry but it has gotten too tall for me.

I have a talking timer but no batteries for it.
Anyone know where to get those button shaped batteries?
They're about as big around as an aspirin?

Hello there, I have never purchased this item before, but I know that
Maxie
Aids has a liquid indicator that you can use when pouring hot drinks.
Blind
mice megga mall might also sell it too.
Another thing that helps me very much in the kitchen is my talking timer.
I'm a stay at home mom and I've also been blind since birth. Well
anyhow,
I'm allways multitasking so that reminds me to check on things that I'm
cooking in the kitchen to see if they are ready.
You can buy that at Maxie Aids as well.
Hope I was able to help.

You did both you and Sarah.
Yeah I'm thinking that I'm gonna get the Oven mitts for sure.
Also what sort of indicators can I get that will let me know when I'm
pouring a hot drink that I'm at almost the top of the glass/cup?
Anyone know?
Later

Hi, Jerry.
I have also been blind since birth and have been cooking for years.
As for burning your fingers, the only thing I can think of is to be
cautious. It happens to everyone. Those oven mitts are a great idea.
I plan to get some myself at some point.
As for your microwave, you could use braille labels; you could also
use inexpensive dots, puff-paint, etc. It depends on your preference
and how comfortable you are finding numbers and other controls without
actually having to read each one in braille. I am very comfortable
with braille; however, I am also comfortable with finding controls if
I have something to mark them. As a result, our microwave is marked
with plastic jewels from walmart.
I hope this email is not too rambling and hope I helped a little.
Becky

Hi there.
I'm Jerry Mader.
Been blind since birth.
Just now learning to cook at 29 years old.
I have a chef for a future step dad and he's awesome at it but doesn't
know how to teach me the basics of cooking as I can't see so I came
here for tips and tricks.
I also air Dale Campbell's cooking in the dark show on Monday
afternoon, right after the Mader Morning Jam at twelve o'clock.
on Http://www.maderradio.net
So I figured here's be the place to be to learn to cook.
What I'm mostly worried about is burning my fingers, but I guess
everyone gets burned sometimes.
How can I avoid this?
I have heard of the oven mitts that Dale has advertised on the show
which I am gonna give a try.
Also what about labeling this microwave because it is a flat screened
control panel.
Are there any suggestions.
Jerry Mader
