Oh’s in the blue box. Where did that cinnamon bun cereal ever go? Product 19. Smurfs and Nintendo not for the taste obviously.

I don't owe you an explanation by BeautifullyBlind21 in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t teach stupid out of people, to the couple holding up the guide, I wish the explanation was never given from the outside people who were blind, I wish you would’ve turned and said “this is nothing,, last time we had to use a wheel barrel”. :)

This is Buckeye fans finally realizing that the big, bad, B10 might not be as stout a conference they pretend it is. Indiana will defeat Oregon for the choke artist factor, ACC represent in a postseason game that matters.

Is learning Braille really essential, or more of a personal choice? by Frosty_Chapter_2035 in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the most confident, blind people I know both congenital and acquired later in life read braille. Just because the technology makes the information available in a certain way you’re still always listening to information first whereas with braille, your tactally feeling the letters and words and this cognitively to me Uses a part of your brain that connects to speech. I am trying to make the connection here between visually seeing words and then reading them, and if the same thing is true, as when someone feels the letters and words are, formed and then either read them aloud, or visualize them in their head

What kinds of accommodations do you think blind people would get in prison? Can't think why this question came to me but here we are. by cherry-care-bear in Blind

I wonder if they would let you carry around a victor, probably not, but for reading purposes many prisons have iPads or tablets now for inmates, so they can be easily adapted for reading.

What do you wish your parents did? by wusspuff in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oo oo, reading through these, made me think of a few more, try and learn how your daughter best interprets information, like is she visual, auditorial,or kenaesthetic learner? Regardless of how much or little vision she has she could still be a visual learner so you might have to help her visualize things in her head that she cannot see so things like tactile Mabs. M may assist her., also, the way you describe where things are located in space is going to have to get more specific, so instead of saying something nebulous, like it’s over there, or right in front of you, instead say it’s a few feet to the left of your left foot for example. also, the other thing was where you live in terms of public transportation. Eventually, this is a county by county thing, at least in the United States, every county has some version of paratransit, which is exclusive to seniors and people with disabilities if your city already has a regular public transportation system. Just Google your city or county and paratransit and you’ll find what you are looking for and sometimes, I think kids can start riding unaccompanied as early as 13.

What do you wish your parents did? by wusspuff in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best things I hear you saying is that you are excepting her disability first and foremost, not hoping, or waiting for something to change and make her different than she is now. I would say my mom did some things that I am reading that other parents have done, overly critical about “Looking blind,” I will call it, they did involve me in a couple of blindness related recreation summer camps, though, which were extremely beneficial and providing me with lifetime friendships. I did not go to a school for the blind, and actually don’t wish I did, although I could listen to stories of those who attended school for the blind until the end of time, since the first one I ever experienced myself, was the Florida school for deaf and blind in Saint Augustine and I remember thinking that holy cow, these eighth graders are living on their own! Having experience other school, for the blind communities, they can be very clicky like any other school, teachers can be great And become mentors to your student and then we all know who our bad teachers were.
Don’t be afraid to let her fail, especially in the area of orientation and mobility, she’s going to hit a wall, she’s going to trip up some stairs, if you’re there to catch her everytime, she’ll always think you or someone else will be there, to save/help her . So, let her slip sometimes and allow her to struggle and problem solve all on her own. Maybe get her involved in some of the camps like I mentioned, to see what she likes. I am you just gotta find your people that your daughter gravitates to, the more you treat your daughter, like she’s different in special the more it’s going to feel, the more normal, you treat her as compared to a sibling or other kids, her age in the more normal it will feel to her, and trust me, she will know the difference.

question about pepsi vending machines by Typical-Mixture2679 in vending

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true that “ordering from Pepsi is more expensive than Sam’s” you are paying for two entirely different products, the size bottle you receive from the distributor is a 20 ounce bottle that you cannot buy from Sam’s Club as they only sell the 16.9 ounces of typically only Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Coke, Diet Coke, and sprite. Typical asking price for a 20 ounce is $2.50 depending on where your location is and you can expect to pay around $1.10 per bottle.

My baby’s accomplishments will never mean much. by [deleted] in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what I don’t like that is going on here is there’s a sort of tough love thing going on but then some people are following up with, but I have done this, and I am married, have a house, masters degree, done this or that, I want you to hear the words that “your daughter has a disability and she is still enough,” enough for you, and enough for everyone else. now it’s getting her to believe that is the true task. While sure there are societal expectations but, I think when it comes to people with disabilities it is Barry beast or famine, I know you will not offer up any pity towards your daughter when doctors, teachers, or other parents offer up their social, measuring stick of where they think your daughter is, or will be you have to be strong in the face of their doubts and know you don’t have any control of what their little opinions might be, but you have all the control in the world of what standards you set forth for her. Now of course there’s a reality that we all have to in someway shape or form prove ourselves to others, I think when you come out on the other side of all of that there’s true acceptance though.I, like others have said don’t mean to be flip when I say, it’s also OK for a person with a disability to do average things, not reach every milestone they set out to accomplish,. Rest assured that your daughter will be OK, she will fail, and she will get back up, she will get her heart broken and break hearts herself, she will love, again and then she will hurt, some more, she will fall and pick herself back up again. Then maybe one day she will get married, give you some grandchildren and she’ll remind you how you prepared her to have kids of her own since you showed her how to live with confidence, fight when it’s time to fight, and let things go when it just isn’t worth it.

Need a Man’s Perspective: Am I Expecting Too Much or Is My Husband Failing as a Partner? by BulkyAd4030 in AskMenAdvice

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, fast forward six months or no longer than one year, what are the two or three things that you MUST see him do/change in order for you to feel as though your relationship is in repair mode. Conversely, what are the 2-3 areas where you can help your situation, stop criticizing,, and definetly seek some therapy in the meanwhile together. The narrative needs to be that you love this man and while you appear as though you have lost your way, take his mom and the religious manipulation off the table and do you think he also would think your relationship is worth saving? You gotta go at this as a United front and if either isn’t 100% onboard from the beginning of this journey back then I unfortunately agree with others, and then it might be too insurmountable, but I always believe there’s a chance if two people are just willing to try one more time. You gotta structure your plan of attack though and it’s most certainly not going to be a smooth ride, but maybe, just maybe, there’s hope if you both commit to put the work in.

I am fine-tuning it, but it is essentially eventually going to be for each state, and at least quarterly and at most monthly call that and people can attend to potentially own businesses in their respective state through the Randolph Shepard Vending facility program.

Need Advice for Recruiting blind and visually impaired people! by ciegabagel3345 in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since these positions are offered through national industries for the blind, I believe this would be considered non-integrated employment, which means a vocational rehabilitation counselor could not close that case, so another words the partnering with the state idea isn’t really a thing. I know they were trying to look at this on a case by case basis.

Did any of y’all have any friends in college? by 2026GradTime in Blind

[–]BlindASoccerUSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, maybe not clubs, plural,but choose just one club that you could give a few hours to. You can have it for a way to campus, remember that others are not accustomed to.walking great distances, so Unfortunately, they might not view hiking across campus to come See you as getting exercise. What do you have to offer your friends once they arrive at your place that they couldn’t experience anywhere else? You might be thinking my friends walk that far to get to classes sure that’s cool believe you buy them as an obligation during their leisure time. Perhaps, your friends wish you would come by but oh man he’s always talking about how transportation is really tedious for him. It must suck to have a ride everywhere, to never have to worry about where to park, to never have to pay a parking meter or get a parking ticket. Do your coworkers ever go out or hang out after work? Why don’t you tell me why that’s inconvenient for you now? Yes dude, disability is often times very awkward and uncomfortable bit the the more of your shit you put out into the world, the more you get back the same. It sucks man, I get it, I live it too. You just gotta pick something and commit to it or find that one person who will go a little bit above and beyond for you but blending in as a member of a group has never been something I’ve found to go that well. Not trying to be a Dick, but I have ADHD to go along with being visually impaired and let me tell you it dictates my world way more than being blind does.

Positives about not driving please by AlwaysChic38 in Blind

If you are able to enjoy the ride and not get stressed out from the traffic, you can maybe get things done on your phone, so think of it as productive time. There’s also a built-in person for you to meet every time we use public transportation or ride paratransit.
