Well Marcia, we only have the clocks, the microwave and a sometime functioning 
thermometer. Sounds like your place has a lot of discussion going on!

  We have two atomic clocks.  One in the bedroom and one in the kitchen.  We 
also have a talking timer, as well as a talking indoor outdoor thermometer.
  There’s also a talking scale, which doesn’t get used as much as it should, 
and I can’t forget about the talking blood pressure monitor.  All that aside, I 
still love my Braille watch.

  We have several atomic talking watches around. I also have the iPhone but 
still like having a watch for several reasons.  I like checking the time when 
I'm out running around and don't want to be taking the phone out every time to 
do this.  Ya never know who's watching and smart phone theft has become a real 
problem.  So when I'm out doing things I have my phone pass code in use.  I 
don't feel quite dressed without a watch.  I have a braille clock in the 
headboard to check the time at night.  So yup, still have several time devices 
around.

    Well, haven’t seen Victor put this news on this list. However, he did 
message me through Facebook. Radio Shack, who used to be the cheapest talking 
products for the blind, is no longer selling them. Both talking watches, and 
talking clocks have been eliminated from Radio shack’s inventory. They claim 
that a blind person can get this information from their cell phones. that is 
true, but only those who have the I phone or a smart phone, I should say 
really. I do use the time and alarm services from my cell phone. But, I also 
use my talking watch for time. I know I will definitely miss getting talking 
and inexpensive watches from Radio Shack.
