Yes, but the chimes have got to sound melodious. I was going to purchase an old kitchen clock. The lady selling it called me to let me hear how it sounded. I said no to those chimes rite away. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shea Anker" <svanker@xxxxxxx>

Hi,
I think so too. I would love to own either a Grandfather clock or one of those old mantle clocks that tick and chime the hour.

I loved those Baby Ben's I had one once.  I love the sound of a ticking
clock in a home.  It makes the home seem warmer, and gives it texture.  I
think.

Hi,
I love my Braille watch. I like the fact that I can check the time while
in public and not have everyone who is near me hear that I am doing so.
Besides, I find the sound of most talking watches and clocks very
annoying. In fact, I would love another Braille alarm clock. I had one
when I was a kid.... I think it was called a Baby Ben. Wonder if they are 
still being made somewhere.

I don't use my perkins much nowadays but it has its uses for things like
labelling cds.  I know there's the dymo gun, but I like to use all the
contractions available to me and of course the dymo gun doesn't have them all. I did try with the dymo tape and adaptor but the tape used to fall 
through no matter how tight I pulled it, so dots didn't come out very
well
for me. I use the sticky back plastic sheets and get someone to cut the 
lines out for me then I cut the labels.  I write as many words as I can
on
each line.  that may be a few album titles or just 1.

I still have my old tandy talking clock.  It's 25 years old or so and I
guess if I put batteries in it should still work.  I don't though as it
takes 3.  quaint and dated though it may sound, I love it.  I used to
have
the sharp talking calculator, the 1 with the alarm and timer and all that 
on
it.  would love to have 1 of those again, plus the Sharp talking clock
and
the Vox talking watch, though I bet there's few of those left. They were 
so
fragile.

Jill.
