Re: Training Centers
@BryanPI'm sure glad you used the words "often happens" in your post, and I hope you genuinely meant it as not applying to everyone. I think it's possible to belong to a blindness organization like the NFB and be a normal well-adjusted individual.I'm sorry the blind people i
Re: Training Centers
Hi everyone,It's late, and like turtlepower17 yesterday, I'm fighting off a cold. I'm also going on 3 hours of sleep, and I have to be up in another 5 hours for a meeting with India. I want to give everyone's posts the time and attention they deserve, but I just don't have t
Re: Training Centers
Hi @turtlepower17I'm going to start with post 63 and come back to your other post later. Unfortunately, I have a lot of housework that needs to get done tonight before family shows up tomorrow, and I spend a fair bit of time writing these posts.So couple quick things:At BLIN

@arqmeisterI understand that you and I are likely going to have very differing opinions, and I respect that. Please keep in mind, though, that calling me a cultist probably won't help either one of us. Aside from that, I want to address a few things you brought up in your po

Re: Training Centers
I'm glad to see this thread came back. After my post back on January 18, I wondered if I had frightened people off. I'm also excited that you're going to training, CAE_jones, though I'm terribly sorry it's not going as you would hope. As others have said, advocacy is the key
Re: Training Centers
CAE_Jones,I can absolutely understand your desire to get training, and it sounds to me as though you have the right mindset for it. In addition, you're doing the right thing in questioning locations, techniques, philosophies, all the things that should be important when choo
