*** Funnies: If Abraham Lincoln owned a computer…

*** From the editor, Lori Motis:
Those April showers bring May flowers, and they sure do. They can also
bring snowmelt and overflowing rivers and creeks. Please be safe and
pay attention to weather and emergency warnings in your neck of the
woods. I find that the Nextdoor social network works great for me to
be kept up-to-date with local weather and news. There are many weather
and emergency apps for your cell phones and tablets. Weather radios
are great to find out the latest weather related emergencies too.
I kind of sort of banged up my snozzola a couple of weeks ago. I
thought it was broken, but the x-ray only showed my previous nasal
fracture from 26 years ago, when I ran it into a telephone pole, when
I was living in Santa Cruz county California. I am glad the town,
where I currently live, does not have those. I was walking too fast
across my back patio to leash relieve my dog, using my cane, but I
didn’t realize that my husband had moved the ladder to the particular
spot where I habitually walk to take my dog out to do his business. He
was cleaning the pine needles and branches off the roof. Well, my cane
went underneath the ladder and my nose and face hit the ladder. Ouch,
it was extremely painful. I could not even touch my face to find out
what happened. I just unclipped my dog’s leash and ran back into the
house. I had blood and tears flowing and I knew I needed to get some
paper towels or tissue quick. Then I very carefully attempted to see
what I had done to myself. I got ice on it and took some Advil. After
a while, I showered and then rested. I did not want to go to the ER.
It is too expensive. It seemed like it was going to be OK, but when I
went to my doctor, for a prescheduled appointment that week, she
thought I should at least get an x-ray. Then I received a call from
her office saying they had referred me to an ear, nose, and throat
doc. I asked why, and the notes were nasal fractures. Well when I
finally got into the ENT, he said my nose was not fractured, but that
the x-ray showed my previous break. The tissues in my nose and
throughout my face were very sore, but he said that there wasn’t
anything but time to heal that. Believe me I am so very careful now
and am trying hard to protect my face and head. I am making sure I
wear a hat with a brim when I go out for anything. I normally wear one
in the spring and summer, since my neighborhood has a lot of bushes
and branches growing out over the sidewalks. Most folks around here
get those trimmed rather quickly. Especially, whenever I happen to
walk into one, I usually say rather loudly that someone needs to trim
this branch. Anyway I have not been working on the website’s archives.
I will get to it eventually. I hope all of you are extra careful when
walking.
This blind thing is sure getting old. Between banging my head on
things, running my legs into left open dishwashers, my own fault, and
hitting my nose, I am probably one enormous bruise. I just need to
learn how to slow down and be more mindful of where I am and what I am
doing. I hope all of you are being careful. If you have any tips,
please email me. Maybe this old gal can learn new ways of protecting
herself.
This month’s news is blooming with fun notices, grand articles, and
funnies sprinkled throughout.

*** From the pages of Donna’s travel diary by Donna J. Jodhan
## Communicating with aircraft attendants
If I want to ensure that my air travel is going to be an enjoyable one
then I need to make sure that the aircraft's attendants are aware of
my needs and that to start with that they know that I am a blind
traveler.
Before setting out on any air travel, I make very sure to notify the
airline before hand and when I arrive at the doors of the aircraft, I
make doubly sure to ask the welcoming attendant to give me an
orientation to my immediate surroundings as soon as they have a
moment. More often than not they are more than willing to go through
the safety regulations and what needs to be done in case of an
emergency but there is more. I tell them that I would need help to the
washroom whenever I need to do so. That I need someone to assist me
to complete my immigration forms if I am traveling overseas, and then
to show me where the call button is.
I do not take anything for granted. I am a regular traveler but I am
always willing and ready to have a repeat performance of a recital of
the safety regulations.
I hope that my formula can help you on your next trip.

*** Living with low vision by Donna Williams
## Weather Woman
I think if I’d been blessed with full vision I may have become a
weather woman. My fascination with the sky and the elements that fall
from it has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
When I saw clouds I’d ask my parents if they thought it was going to
storm and if I saw bright sun in a deep blue sky I’d inform family
members “no rain today.”
As I got older I began to dialogue with god about my fascination. I’d
look up at the sky on my birthday and ask Him to send me a sunny warm
day and through my prayer I’d remind Him that my favorite color is
blue so the bluer he made the sky on that day the better.
During the summer when we were sweating it out under the sun I used to
pray that God would send his “manna” clouds to cover up the sun and
give us shade. Of course I was referring to those big puffy white
fair weather clouds.
In the fall when it got dark way too early I used to play a game in
order to help myself feel better about the loss of daylight.
According to my creative imagination God made it get dark much earlier
so that low vision people would be able to see traffic lights and
store signs better.
Then the cold and endless gray clouds came. When I was real little it
used to excite me because I knew that eventually those clouds would
send snow and I couldn’t wait to eat it. I loved to sled and throw
snowballs at family and friends when the snow wasn’t too hard but my
favorite thing to do was to always eat it.
I can only imagine the forecast I’d have predicted when I was 6. I
was so innocent and optimistic back then that it probably would have
sounded something like this:
It’s springtime now so we will have sunshine and blue skies. This
will be followed by summer with “manna clouds to block out the sun
whenever someone needs shade. Although it will become dark early
during the fall season get ready for the Low vision celebration since
traffic lights and store signs will be more readable. We look ahead
to those dull gray clouds but kids get ready with cups, bowls, and
buckets because snow is coming and wow, isn’t it yummy!
Pretty silly huh? I’m sitting here laughing about what I used to imagine.
I often wonder if my parents knew what I was thinking. Contrary to
what most 6-year olds do I kept my thoughts to myself. I kind of
liked the idea of having a secret. Now I wonder if I should share
these thoughts with my Mom on Mother’s Day. I bet all these years
later it will still make her laugh.
I’ve never been a Mom but I’m sure if the love of my life had lived
long enough I would have been. That having been said I’ve been
honored as a potential mother twice in my life. Once at church when
the kids gave out a tiny token gift to all the women of the
congregation and once when a male friend wished me a Happy Mother’s
Day. I reminded him that I am not a Mother to which he replied”Well
the potential is there, you are very maternal and you’re always
helping others so I’m recognizing you as a mom.” I was truly touched.
So maybe they should rename the Day Women’s Day? Or to be fair to all
the women who actually gave birth maybe we should have a Women’s Day
added? Time to quit writing before I get into trouble with the male
population. I think either the Hallmark or Lifetime channel is calling
my name very loudly. Happy Mother’s Day to all the women readers!
And to all I hope you enjoy the warm sunshine and blue skies of
spring!
I’d love sharing in your experiences of living with low vision. If
you wish you may contact me at: livingwithlowvision@xxxxxxxxx
*** Funnies: Why did the computer cross the road?
To get a bite to eat.
*** Yarn, hook and needle: Crafts by Phyllis Campbell
## To me there is something special about working with wool. In my
imagination I can feel my sisters, and, yes, brothers, spinning,
knitting and crocheting, united over the centuries.
History has always been an interest of mine. Recently I read "The
Pillars Of The Earth" by Ken Follett, which was set in part, during
the struggle for the throne of England between The Empress Maude and
King Steven. During this period wool was an important part of the
economy and the wool merchants and dyers were often among the most
wealthy citizens. Of course the king got in on the act, imposing
terrific taxes on wool, but in any case those dealing in wool were
important to say the least.
Several years ago, "Piece Work" released an issue which to quote them
"Celebrates the history of wool around the world and in our own back
yards." I was fascinated to learn that wool was being used in Egypt as
early as 2000 B.C. By A.D 400-500 Egyptian artisans were making wool
socks using a loop method similar to knitting. The Petrie Museum in
London has a project reproducing this method, and will eventually make
instructions available.
I tried to buy the digital edition of the article, but found that one
must subscribe for the whole year to the tune of $21.00, and since I
had no idea how well it would work with speech my frugal soul
rebelled. I went forth to my old friend Google, and dutifully typed
"history of wool" in the search box, and away I went.
I was surprised to learn that "sheep didn't always have wool".
Ancient people started hunting the wild sheep for the meat. The hair
was similar to today's deer hair, short and thick, rather than the
long fine and curly of today's sheep. It wasn't until around 10,000
B.C. that people of West Asia began to domesticate sheep. They
discovered that the milk of the sheep was good to drink, and that it
made delicious cheese. Although the skins were used for primitive
garments, there still was no wool as we know it today.
Around 1550 A.D. people began to notice that the hair from the
stomach, along the under side of the sheep, although not perfect for
spinning, it was acceptable. At this point they began to breed the
sheep that had the most of this longer hair in an attempt to produce a
breed with hair suitable for spinning. It took thousands of years,
many generations of sheep, but by about 5000 B.C people could really
begin to spin wool.
Wooly-sheep were introduced into Europe from the Near East in the
early part of the Fourth millennium B.C. The oldest known European
wool textile known was preserved in a Danish bog.
The English textile trade grew during the fifteenth century, to the
point where export of wool was discouraged. Over the centuries
various British laws controlled the wool trade or required the use of
wool even in burials. The smuggling of wool, known as owling was
punishable by the cutting off the hand of the unfortunate smuggler.
During World War I children were encouraged by the United States
Department of Agriculture to raise sheep in order to produce wool for
war supplies. Books from that era feature patterns for wool scarves,
mittens, gloves and socks for the troops.
With the coming of synthetic fibers, wool has become less popular both
in ready-made items and yarn. The collapse in the price of wool began
in 1966, a 40 % drop, and has continued to go down.
Superwash wool which can be machine washed, first appeared in the
early 1970's. This wool is produced using an acid bath that removes
the "scales" from the fiber, or by coating the fiber with a polymer
that prevents scales from attaching to each other and causing
shrinkage.
The wool blends are very popular because of their lower price and
versatility. With them, the knitter or crocheter may have the best of
both worlds.
Until next time, happy crafting.
