leayahri I have discussed this with a few of my friends that are completely blind and they say that there are no good online schools for the blind for that age range. Where do you live? If I know that I can suggest resources and schools for your son.

leayahri I have had two and am pregnant with number three. All of my pregnancies have been and still are high risk so I use doctors. My doctor has been a close friend of the family for many years so I guess I am lucky. Both previous pregnancies were delivered by...

leayahri I am blind and have MS. I also have a handicapped placard, but I really don't use it. I only have it because my doctor said he prefers that I walk less than 200 feet at a time. I personally think that even if you have the card you should only use it if you...

Why do people fashion their own idea of God?LOGICALLY, if there IS a God, He would have to be perfect - totally perfect - or He wouldn't be God. He would have to be THE (only) authority in everything - or He wouldn't be God. Why...

leayahri You keep saying "if". Well if you truly believe then why do you say "if". Personally I believe that there is something more powerful than us, but I don't know what it is or how to explain it. It may just be my imagination trying to keep me from being...

I've been diagnosed just about a year and a half. I'm looking to see if there are any others on MyLot who also have the disease? If so, what types of treatments are you doing? I take Copaxone injections daily.

leayahri It really isn't that "simple" to diagnose MS because you have to have a certain number of each thing. I have already had a spinal tap and because of my low immune system I got a serious infection. According to the MS Society there are many factors and you...

leayahri I have not been "clinically" diagnosed with MS yet, but I am currently taking prednisone daily and having IV steroid treatments for one week every month. What symptoms do you have? I have heard from my doctor that if you are still in early stages of onset...

leayahri I can understand typos and so can my software, but words mixed up in a sentance so badly that my software will shut down? I need my screen reader because I am blind and can't read the screen on my own and when it shuts down I have to reboot my computer. It...

leayahri If your dog bit you did you touch it in a sensitive spot? I used to train shelter dogs and it is very easy to get them to stop aggressive behavior when it is still new, but if this has been an ongoing thing then your dog wasn't trained right to begin with and...

leayahri That's great! I wish that everybody's relationship was as strong and devoted. I do hope that this situation never happens to anyone, but am glad to know that there are couples like you and your husband are out there to stick together.

leayahri Just to let you know, I am blind. I was just curious about how people would handle it. If they would stay or if they would leave. My husband has said many times how he contemplated for a long time whether to stay or leave and I was just wondering if anybody...

leayahri I took a thirty hour scenic driving trip from Minnesota to Toronto. We loved it and so did our cat. We ended up staying for a little longer than planned before making the same thirty hours back, but all in all it was amazingly fun.

remember that part where Peter speaks braille to that blind guy and then he laughs? Can somebody please translate what was said.

3 responses

leayahri you really can't "speak" braille. It is a form of writing and the dots are all arranged in different patterns. you can only tell someone a few letters or so before you come to a letter that has a dot above another or below another.
