I used Braille every day in all of my long long long career! (smile)
When I taught cooking, I would tape a braille copy of the recipe on the
cupboard door of the work station. I was hopeful that who ever I was
working with would understand that learning some Braille is important
even if it's just Grade I. It was easy for me just to reach up to read
the next instruction of the recipe while my student carried out the
task. If they were already someone who read Braille, I would have them
do the recipe as independently as possible.

Good Morning,
To Linda and others, you are not weird. I prefer to use braille every
chance I can. I can access things like phone numbers and cooking directions
easier and quicker from a notebook or file box than thatrying to fromind
the information on the computer or the digital recorder.

For me, Braille is such an accessible method. I use those med papers
that come with the prescriptions just to write things that I will no
longer need like a shopping list or something. Just can't get used to
the higher tech stuff. The papers are perforated and it's so easy just
to tear one off, write whatever, use it, and throw it away. I know I'm
weird! (smile)

Well now, you might try this the next time you need to tear a

I remember once a student came to a Professor at Delaware Valley College
once and said his password to log onto the computer didn't work.
The Professor asked him if a student or professor had given him the
password. The student said a professor had given him the password but
didn't remember which professor. The Professor asked the student if he
had the paper the login information was written and the student had the
paper and gave it to the professor. The Professor told the student that
a student assistant gave him that paper because the perforations were
ragged. The professor told the class that all Professors at Delaware
Valley College always fold their perforations both ways so the
perforations tear easily and cleanly. I use that technique even today
when I open food packages and it works as advertised for me.

If I'm writing out more than one label, on junk mail, I'll Braille
a line
of C's, then fold it there, and it rips straight.

The technical term to use in the stationery shop is #100 weight
card stock.
It even comes in larger sheets and not labeled as braille paper you
pay
less.

Mary,
Glad you found something that works for you.
I hope you get the index cards that are made on paper like what
Braille paper is made of. I bought some a few years ago that is like
the stuff really flimsy magazine covers are made of; boy was I
surprised and unhappy when I opened the package. It doesn't hold up
too well for long-term use and gets stuck in the interpoint index
card
slate. I think they changed the material to cut costs. Good for them
maybe, but not for me. *sad smiley*
More Later,
Dani

Thanks for everybody's suggestions for my labeling problem.
I had to decide something about labeling. So I bought some 3 x 5
index cards and an index card slate that is supposed to be for
that
size. I also went ahead and bought some dymo tape and some of
those
Braille labels with the holes at both ends and the elastic ties.
That way, I am ready for almost anything. I think that I will
just
put the bags of seeds into other bags so that the paper doesn't
touch them and I can still read the labels through the
plastic. An
awkward solution, but it will work for the little tiny bags.
The bigger
bags and containers can get the ones with the ties.
I
feel bad about using all these plastic bags, one to hold similar
products, one for each bag to hold it and the label, and one
for each
bag of seeds.
But some of this will be reusable, and besides, it will take me a
long time to go through most of those bags of seeds anyway. So we
might be in this for the long haul.
So that is the progress on my Covid19 hobby of growing food in air
conditioned comfort while blind.

All the years I carried a $6000 notetaker around with me, I also
carried a postcard slate, stilus and index cards. Nothing like

That's why I went the low-tech route. I know that it takes

dependent
on my iPhone as it is.
At least for this gal, Braille and the slate and stylus will
never
go out of style, not as long as I can read it and use them. I may
run out of Dymo tape and elastic, my preferrd materials of
choice,
but there's all kinds of stuff labels can be made out of.
I like seeing what everyone else is doing to solve the labeling
problem. Mary, too bad there isn't a site that can identify seeds
for you the way they have one now for identifying mystery pills
that find their way out of the bottle. Maybe you could sprout
some
of the mystery seeds and, if you've had them before, identify
them by
taste?
Aaron wouldn't be able to help identify them visually, would he?
More Later,
Dani

I take it that the Pen Friend 2 labels cannot go in the freezer?
I mean, get wet?
I hope the second iteration of this is smaller than the first
one,
which I thought was rather clunky and awkward to use. I would
rather not have to haul my phone around to look at these labels,
but I might
have to.

good evening,
do you have any kind of labeling device such as a pen friend
or id
mate?
What I do is put a pen friend label/dot on a business card and
then laminate it and then punch hole in it and tie to bag and it
works wonderfully in frezzer.
I do the same thing with bar code lables I make for use with
my quest.
I have created a program to print my own barcode labels.
If interested, just let me know.
thanks
rich

Does anybody have a way to label things that are in plastic bags
kept in the freezer or refrigerator? Dymo tape does not work.
I have lots of seeds for my sprouts and microgreens, and I am
starting to have trouble keeping track of them. But labeling
things in the freezer is not exactly a new problem. Any ideas
would be
appreciated. Thanks.
