Hi Rosie,
Yes they do help you. I was very pleased with them when I got verizon when I
was still at my condo.
Everything can't be in braille as it would be too expensive. I get lots of
things in Braille, however from my bank.

Hi, Kathleen,
The technician should be able to help you with the rooter. That's part
of their job.

Well I get my bank statements and my bills and Brielson nobody complains
about that. Well I just made my 2nd cup of coffee. Waiting for to cool. I'm
just listening to a book right now. Not much is going on here. I think they
were working on apartments next-door to me. I heard them hammering that now
days left. But anyway this afternoon I'll be busy with this one lady. And my
home care aide. I guess she's going to be helping me pack whether she wants
to or not. And I got some sleep last night but not much. Hopefully when I get
home the insomnia will say bye-bye. I sure hope so. One of my friends said I
should talk to my doctor but I said no I don't want to go on high-powered
drugs. I'm not interested in being like a zombie. Not really. But anyway I
hope the technician guy will help me go through the router thing.

Kathleen, darling, there just aren't enough of us who read braille to
warrant any phone company to make their contracts available to us in
braille, or their router instructions. Plus, often, one person may need
different equipment from another. Please, please, please, don't continue to
complain that things aren't in braille. Only ten percent of the blind
population can read braille, so it's not cost effective for companies to put
things into braille.

Yes those people are really nice and the diner. Well I got the email
confirmation from Verizon that my router has been sent. But this must be a
generic email because it says to open the package and then set up the
router. Setting it up according to the instructions in the welcome book.
Well there's no way I'm going to do that because it's in print. Why they
couldn't send the stuff and broil I have no idea but I wish they would have.
I hope the technician will help me set it up because I'm sure not going to
be able to and I wish they had the contract in braille instead of me having
to go online and try to read it. Especially with the iPhone it would take
ages. Well I'm not sure I would get a cat I thought about it but as I said I
was afraid it would get away. Wow that's quite a story about Brandy. Thanks
goodness he's never gone out since. But at least you can hear his toenails
and you know where he's at. But I bet he's a good kitty. A fairly big one
from what you said before.
But any
way he's probably a good pick pat and a good companion. But I'll be sure and
be good to be in my own for Milyer apartment. I bet people will still be
talking about the bombing. As I said a little voice told me last Saturday
not to go over and visit even though I had wanted to. And it's a good thing
I didn't. But it any rate all my friends were calling me and telling me what
was going on and I turned on the police scanner that night and it was going
crazy. But today the Packer is coming. I think around three. So will Pack up
the stuff I don't need and then next week they'll finish the rest of it. But
I think I'm going to finish all my frozen food. I may need the cooler for
some cheese and baloney if I can't finish that. The other stuff is
shelfstable so I don't have to worry about it. But hey what can you do.
Pretty soon I'll be on my way home. And my cell phone will work better and
everything and that's a good thing. But anyway I'm reading this book called
split-second by Da
vid Bell
duty and I think it's going to be good.

Hi Kathleen,
Yum, that café would probably be a place I'd go to often if I lived in your
area. Sounds as though they're really good people there.
When Brandy was a baby, less than a year old but still considered a kitten,
he walked out of the house when I did early one morning. I was absolutely
terrified. Brandy does have a chip implanted in his neck so if he does get
lost he can be recovered. I was fortunate in that he was absolutely
terrified of being outside. He wedged himself near my nextdoor neighbor's
house, in a corner. The grass was very high there, and he buried himself
there. I'd asked a couple of neighbors if they could retrieve him for me,
but they could not. So, when Herbert my neighbor finally got home some
hours later, he needed to take my hand and lead me through the maze of
things they have outside in their yard. At first Brandy hissed at me until
he smelled a dirty sweat shirt I had on hand. Very gently, I wrapped him
up in the sweat shirt and carried him inside. He has never, ever wanted to
venture outside since that time. I had a bell on him then but I don't now.
His toenails are prett
long soyw
I can tellwhere he is.
If you were to get a cat, I would advisethat you get the cat as a kitten.
At least in my experience, a kitten seems to be able to take our blindness
in stride perhaps better than an adult cat you'd adopt from a rescue agency
would.

Yes I eat there a lot and they're very nice people there too. Especially on
Fridays or specialist macaroni and cheese and fish cakes. And I really like
it. Anyway how do you make sure he brandy doesn't get out of your
apartment? Do you have a bell on him? How do you actually tell where he is
because kitties don't make a lot of noise. I hope you don't mind me asking
but I had thought about getting a cat once but those were the things I was
afraid of. But yes I hope things go better when I get home. I'm getting rid
of Time Warner for phone and I'm going to get high-speed Internet and phone
through Verizon. But they told me I can keep my current email address. I
guess the package with the router and it will be there when I get home.
According to the email I got from them they told me to set up the router
with the welcome package which I'm not gonna be able to do because it's in
print. I don't know why they sent me an email like that when I told him I
was blind. Oh well. But an
ay the mYou are subscribed to Ourplace (
oving people are coming tomorrow afternoon. My age my ETA is going to be
here tomorrow and that's a good thing so she can help me pack and also
observe the people. And make sure stuff doesn't get forgotten. Like some
did when I moved over here. And the moving person said he had a cooler if I
needed it but I may not. He said he bring it just in case. But hey what can
you do. It's getting closer to me going home. And I'm really glad to.
Anyway your night really sounded like a hellish event

Hi Kathleen,
Well, it'll not be long before your move happens, and we're all hoping and
praying for you that things begin to go better for you once you're settled
and
back in your own apartment. It can't have been easy for those staying at
Selis
Manor last weekend, and indeed, I think you're lucky not to have been
there.
But, not knowing is very hard, too. Fortunately, in some ways, you don't
have a
pet you're responsible for. That's always a worry when there's an
emergency.
Thankfully, people in your building were able to get food delivered to them
fixed by the café down the street. Do you ever eat there?
