When ever you want to mark any appliance you can use your own type of stickers. Use the type that best fits your needs. Some may be as small as a pin prick to as large as a large drop of water. I use them on most of my appliances including the washers and dryers in my apartment building. I won't go into that now. I am seriously considering marking my refrigerator dial so that I can control the tempeture better and also my deep freeze as when my youngest granddaughter comes over she likes to turn knobs and dials. Then I can put them back when she goes home. Bless her heart. She tries hard to help grandma out in the kitchen and she is only 5 years old.

Can you explain more about how this works? Can you use any dots you want to? sent from my BrailleNote ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heidi Thomas" <[email protected] To: <[email protected] Date sent: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:19:01 -0000 Subject: Re: [CnD] loading a dishwasher Ouch! That's tough ... I also have A Pen Friend labeller ... magic marker sized pen that when you touch it to the little dots, your own voice speaks the ID of the label ... I find it priceless for so many things in my home and especially the kitchen ... Buttons on the microwave, which are like you mention here, which eventually I have learned, but I use it for all my spices, canned food, anything you need labelled. Labels even stick in freezer. It is a bit pricey, but as I said it is priceless and I just wouldn't live without it, now!

All push button. And none of them can be felt. It's crazy! I never seen anything like this before.

Blind Mice Mart also has them http://www.blindmicemegamall.com SpottersT Tactile Adhesive Dots. Stick these little adhesive backed dots onto anything you want to 'see by touch'. Ten .7 mm in height Product ID: 730180 Price: 1.16 And I can't see what the concern is about such a thing ... It's not marking up the appliance, they can be removed and leaves no mark Hope this helps Heidi -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerry Mader Sent: 30 January 2012 20:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] loading a dishwasher How much does the clear label tape cost does anyone know?

It does not mar the surface and in the event that there is sticky residue when you remove the labels, that can be removed with a product such as Goo Gone.

The landlord told me I couldn't mark up his appliances. Yet I feel scratches all over the touch panel. So that confuses me. I can't use it I guess unless any of you have any cool suggestions?

When I finish eating or finish with a drinking glass I put it into the dish washer. This makes it much easier, and you don't have dishes sitting around on the counter to get in the way or break. When I unload the clean dishes, I don't have any problem as I can recognize the different types of dishes I use. Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jean Marcley Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 6:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] loading a dishwasher I usually load the bottom part first with plates and silverware. I put only the sharp knives like steak knives in point down, everything else I put in handle down. I like to keep spoons together, forks, serving spoons, etc. It's easier to unload. I feel how the rows of prongs go in the dishwasher and then start putting in the plates. I like to keep them in neat rows also to make it easier to unload. Then I pull out the top shelf and begin putting glasses in with the top of the glass facing the bottom of the dishwasher; same for cups and cereal bols. Some cooking utensils like slotted spoons, tongs, big stirring spoons, can lay down on the top shelf. Anything plastic also goes on this shelf - like measureing cups and storage containers (make sure they are dishwasher safe and you have to ask a sighted person). I like to use premeasured packets probably of dishwasher detergent and I don't use a softener to prevent spotting. After a while, you'll get better at it when you use the same dishwasher all the time. Do not put wooden utensils or wooden-handled knives in the dw. I NEVER put sharp knives in even if they are dw safe so that I don't cut myself when I am putting the dishes away. So, there ya go. Hope this helps. I use my hands to feel where things go and it takes probably 3 times as long as for a sighted person. I don't care.
