Hi, Kathleen,
Maybe your mother is worried about you getting the home care you need. Yeah,
maybe it's driving you crazy but it's natural for mothers to worry sometimes.

Subject: [ourplace] Re: Terrible Crane Accident
Yes it is going take a long time to clean an accident up to. They said that
area may not be open to traffic or businesses until Monday. And that's really
going to hurt a lot of businesses down in that area. And no I didn't hear the
crane come down because I'm too far away. But that's basically how that goes.
Monday depending on the weather I go to the doctor and will deal with all the
stuff. That will be the end of that. But anyway my friend Greg came over and he
brought me some scones. He told me to talk to visions the agency for the blind.
The joys of recreation and social services in here and try to get them to give
me a volunteer for reading and stuff. Hopefully they will. There's another
group called helping hands for the blind here in the city and they have
volunteers to. Although one of the volunteers stole off one of my neighbors. I
don't know why either. I know that you told me that $75 took a walk. There's no
need for that and nobody has the right to steal. But let's see what happens
with that endeavor. But anyway all this'll work out in the end. My mother still
is asking me who's going to go to the hospital with me. She called me last
night and she was just sitting home and worrying about everything. She's
driving me crazy about this whole mess. She keeps asking me when I'm going to
get cleaning help and all this kind of thing. I told her the doctor has to
certify for it. But oh boy I know she's going to keep bugging me and bugging me
and bugging me and it's driving me crazy. I told her it will get done. And
that's the end of it. And then she asked me who was going to call her after the
surgery was over and I told her I would.

Hi Kathleen,
I heard about the horrible accident involving the crane last night on
the news. It’s amazing only one person was killed, and a bunch of cars were
literally cut in half as the crane fell on them.
I haven’t yet seen the second generation Victor Stream, but even the
first generation Victor Stream could go into a purse very easily. It’s
probably an inch and a half thick, perhaps two inches wide and four inches
long. My Book Port is thinner and narrower than that. I would imagine the
second generation Victor Stream is about the size of a Book Port but can do
more things.

Well I don't think a victor stream would do me that good right now. I
don't have Wi-Fi in here so I don't think I would be able to download. That's
kind of a bummer though too. Man I wish I could've gotten one but oh well. I'm
not really sure what I want for my birthday. Oh yes but I ordered my Cheryl's
cookies oh definitely. And I got my banana bread in that order too. It hasn't
come yet I think it'll come around the 12th. That'll be a nice thing to have
after surgery. That would be good too. Well let's see. I talked to my mom and
after that I'm just relaxing. I'm not really doing anything else. What is a
victor stream light? How big is it? I guess you can read books and all that
kind of thing. I've never touched one so I don't know what it feels like. Can
somebody tell me what it's like? I'm just curious. Well there's another video
on the net about the crane the fellow here in New York City.

Wonder if the Victor Stream has stations that are on Tune-In
Radio. I haven’t heard of O-O Tunes, but if that works from a computer, I
would imagine I’ll be able to negotiate getting radio I like. Haven’t really
gotten into podcasting, but then again, I am not really conversant about it.
Thanks, Sharon!!

Linda,
Yes you can like radio stations and such. Also you can download
podcasts. I have a 32 gig but lots of stuff on my card. I have allot of music
on it and old radio shows, as well.
Also book. If an internet radio station is on OO tunes you can
listen to it even the listen factor. It is really easy to safe your favorite
internet stations.
I think you will love it. I also have the old victor stream.

Well, I know that The Listen Factor folks will help you if you
want help to get their stuff on there. They show lots of stuff you'd probably
like, and they've got drama, movies, sitcoms, old radio, lots of stuff.

Hmmm, wish I’d known. I saw the sale price at which Laz Mesa
was selling it and decided to save $15.00. I just might put Blindy TV on it.
It’s in my favorites and I almost never watch it. I’ll be looking forward to
being able to download BARD books directly onto this Victor Stream. But, o-oh,
I hope I’ve got my wy-fi number on my cell phone because I lost the sheet of
braille paper it was on.

If you buy it from Roger Behm, he puts some stations on it for
you like Beatles and listen factor and Blindie Tv. Can't think of what else,
but he does that, and is wonderful to deal with.

Would you believe, I was gonna order it today, even deposited
money my brother gave me so I could spend the $349 for the stream and have
enough money to make it through the rest of the month, but when I got home, I
took a nap. Oops, it better get ordered tomorrow or else I lose $16.00 as the
sale ends tomorrow. Lately I’ve been forgetting things, like mailing a talking
book back to the Arizona State Library though I knew my mom and I were going
right by a mail box yesterday. Then I forgot to give my brother his lasagna
dish and jam jar back to him. Fortunately, he remembered. Don’t know what’s
going on or not going on with my head.

Gestures With I-Phone
Linda, when you boot up your phone, that's when you put in the
numbers. After that, if the screen locks and you do have fingerprint ID up and
running, all you need do is put your finger in, and it will unlock the screen.
As for the second generation Stream, it's so great! Downloading
books is even easier than using the old software. You have a couple of ways of
doing it, and everyone has their favorite, I guess, but it's totally easy. If
you want help, call us.

Oh, really? I had no earthly idea! I thought, and I think
my phone has said on occasion, that for me to use touch ID, I must put in my
six-digit pass code. I think I’m reaching senility or something similar, a
technological overload. I am seeming to become really overwhelmed by
technology. I don’t put music on my I-Phone, finding it much, much easier
to put it on my Sanza Clip MP3 player from talkingmp3players.com
<http://talkingmp3players.com> , from whom I’m also going to be purchasing a
new Victor Stream. Right now, I’m having to use my old Victor Stream to
download books from BARD using my Book Port software. It’s crazy, but it
does work, but I’d just like to update the Victor Stream although my old one
still works perfectly well. I suspect music sounds a whole lot better on the
second-generation one. Thankfully, Laz Mesa does a great tutorial with this
machine. As to Drop Box, I’ll hopefully listen to the three-part tutorial
in the next couple of days, pain notwithstanding.

Hi Linda. I just got in at the middle of this thread so forgive
me if I missed something. However. The whole purpose of touch ID is to prevent
you from having to put in your passcode every time you unlock your phone.
That's the beauty of touch ID.

I’m finding I’m not using the I-Phone as much as I thought
I would. I really miss the ease of just being able to make phone calls, and
now that I’ve got the finger print thing and I have to put a six-digit code
into my I-Phone any time I unlock it, it’s just getting to be too slow and
tedious. I’m not one who plays with games much, so I haven’t downloaded
anything like that. Thanks, though, for your suggestion.

Linda, to go from one contact to another, try swiping from left
to right instead of going up and down. I think with a little practice and a few
more fun apps, you'll never want to go back, but that's just my opinion. :)

Hi All,
I was talking to my friend Gina about this. Like me, she has
an I-Phone 5, but
I don't think she's upgraded to I-OS 9 point anything. I've
updated to 9.3, and
I've noticed when I try to move through my contacts list, even
though I'm using
the familiar page-up gesture, I'm getting a beep sound and the
word "refreshing"
a lot, and the page isn't moving up. Seems to me that as
they're updating, some
of the more basic functions are becoming more difficult to do,
and I don't know
why this has to be that way. I'm so annoyed that when my
contract runs out in
August, I'm thinking about going back to a regular flip phone
as I've never used
Blind Square, and only occasionally use the KNFB Reader and
money talker. I've
gotten another manual bill readingmachine which is in my purse
at all times.
