Bacon, now I can help here. Put a double thickness of paper towel on a plate
then as many strips as will fit, put a single paper towel on top and stick it
in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes and you are good to go.
Thats to much bacon said no one ever, grin, smile!

I know CJ, my patience is tried when people go to do something for me before
checking whether I am already able to do it myself, well meaning but
possibly don't yet understand how important it is for us to be doing things
for ourselves, workarounds or not.
I have just come in from cutting back Pampas grass with my electric brush
cutter, I take a cane of bamboo with me to wave around checking the
landscape, as bizarre as it sounds, I am proud of my achievements.
Anybody got a good workaround for frying bacon ?

Yip,
I hear you & agree. I don’t mind asking & I don’t mind giving them the
opportunity to help. I just really don’t want to give in to have to ask.
If that makes any sense, which it probably doesn’t. But, I understand what
I mean & that’s enough…LOL.
Anyway, interesting topic. All the best,

I too get a sense of independent achievement when I complete a challenge

someone else's eyes or request to be driven to a location. This is a
Reality.
And it is reassuring to find that people get satisfaction from assisting
me in my endeavours.

Well,
All of that might be true & probably is true. But, I think the reality
is simpler. You either do the work-a-round or you do very little.
*Smile*. I’m pretty sure that all disabled people, of all disability
types, have to regularly think outside of the box. It’s a lot more
complicated, & definitely a pain in the behind @ times, but as the Grunts
in Vietnam used to say when faced with the futility of their situation,
“there it is!” I’m happiest when I can find a work-a-round &, usually,
most pleased with myself. The real frustration arises, when you hit that
brick wall that says there are no work-a-rounds. That’s when we ring the
“sighted assistance bell.” Oh, how I hate that bell. I’m blessed with a
wife & children, who don’t mind helping. But, I just hate feeling
dependent.
Oh well, again, “there it is!” Best to all,
CJ

I changed the subject line because this is a very interesting field, one
could write a book about it.
Thinking about my own work arounds, shifting to the Mac twelve years
back from Windows, because of Voiceover was pivotal, Windows had
expensive third party solutions.
Others are similar, talking tools, tape measure, watch, audio level,
scales, battery tester, then there is what I feel has been a very strong
spatial sense memory, seemingly stronger than most sighted people.
Plus I have to be somewhat fearlessly foolish to attempt anything at
all, and I attempt almost everything !
Perhaps the necessity to find a workaround calls on a Creativity
otherwise left dormant.

I tell my wife, all the time, that I’ve been doing “work arounds” since
I was nine-years-old & the lights went out. So, I understand that
Logic. I wish you success.

Hi CJ and thank you for your note and thanks for caring enough to
write. First of all I am just not a Microsoft fan so I stay away from
that stuff. But the real thing here is I love making things work that
others say will not work. Work around is my middle name, grin, smile.

Keith,
I, too, am using the MS Office 365 suite on my Mac. As others have
stated, the new model is for subscription not outright purchase, but
the applications do—indeed—reside on your machine. And, as far as I
know, there’s no move afoot to change that model. I’ve found the
accessibility to be very high. With the exception of some clunkiness
in Outlook. Which is no problem for me, as I choose to use Apple’s
Mail App anyway.
Seems like your getting a lot of the same info & that’s frustrating
you…;-). Well, I’ve reached the same place in life, “it should work &
dang it, I’m gonna make it work. LOL. I wish you success in all your
endeavorss. Your the best & we all benefit from your list & early
work with VoiceOver.
Best to you,
CJ

Thanks my friend,
My wife who is our secretary was using MS word but then they went
internet only and neither one of us is comfortable with that and
pages no longer supports Male merge and we need that.
I think I am going to poke around a little while longer. Some years
ago I used this app even translated braille with it. Maybe I am
just missing something.
Thanks again CJ.

Keith,
My results were the same as Johns. Actually, worse now that I
think about it, because it was pretty much inaccessible. Have you
considered Pages? Johnathan Mosen has a complete audio tutorial on
his site for…maybe…$35? I’m not a hundred percent certain about
the tutorial’s price. But, I do remember, when I bought my
tutorial on Amadeus about a month ago, it was a temptation.
Anyway, just a thought & best of luck.
Blessings,
CJ

Hi folks,
I used Libre office writer some years ago and it went quite well
however I am trying it again and I don’t seem to be able to read
text. Is any one using this app? If so, what has changed and what
is the secret?
Thanks.
