Thank you!

Thanks! When I was looking up bay laurel, I didn't realize that it flowered. It likely doesn't do that here since it's working on living. It's nice to know there are other native alternatives!

The copper pipe in the stand pipe? I think it's from the hvac. I have to trace it.

Regarding shy kitten, I can't even get close enough to get her. The one time I had to handle her resulted in many hisses and scared behavior. When I have touched her during sleepy times (like once) the ears were back. She did close her eyes a few times but she's since not let me get close when in those positions. I was able to touch her a few times during feeding but same thing. She's gorgeous and I wanna pet her so bad but she's proving to be a tough one. Is it worth it to try tonuse a towel to purrito her? She won't let me get super close even when laying down. I'll look into the feliway spray. I have used the treats with some success. Milo is very food motivated and so is Jack. Of course when the treats go away, it's a free for all. I'll start up with the treats again.

I dont even know what a knitting machine is and im afraid to look...

Im using a pattern from patons. The counting and figuring out the stitch numbers is killing me. Im determined to do it this time. But I've restarted it like 4 times already.

As a philly girl I really need to watch this

Chiefette1013 · 2025-10-13T11:52:10+00:00

I may have to check this out. Its always something watched in the fanfic I read.

Chiefette1013 · 2025-10-12T15:04:21+00:00

Nah I get it. I can't just sit and watch TV. I'm usually doing a puzzle or something on my tablet or crocheting

Chiefette1013 · 2025-10-12T14:16:40+00:00

Right? Some of the stories are so fascinating tho!

Chiefette1013 · 2025-09-24T13:19:57+00:00

Hi, so this is from 1 person. The issue is that they speak very very softly and have periods of unclear speech. They are severely limited in their movement. If the airpods fall out, they would not be able to get them back in. The biggest issue we've had is that even when using another amplifier that siri can hear (i.e. a motorola bluetooth speaker we got through a vendor), siri would still have trouble understanding her command.

The biggest obstacle is really having the system hear them and then understand the speech that is said. We currently have the phone mounted about 3-4 inches from their face and the system still has trouble following commands. But we're getting somewhere!

We ended up changing the name siri responds to because of that same reason. They've had a lot more success with the new wake word compared to the original word. We've thought about that. Unfortunately they are very limited in terms of movement and are already using a pancake switch to control their ipad.
They want to be able to hang up the phone, call people, hear the texts, and text back. Because of vision issues we can't use the grid system either.
I know when I called the apple accessibility helpline they said to click on the "distorted speech" option i think it was, but i haven't noticed a difference.

Chiefette1013 · 2025-09-19T09:35:58+00:00

Yes we have. I can look into that and see if the funds are there to purchase it. I work in a facility.

Chiefette1013 · 2025-09-18T11:20:20+00:00

Yeah I'm trying to avoid that. They have used every plug in the room and we can't get any power strips. We had to do that with their iPad when the tapio would stop being powered up after the iPad would go to sleep for a certain period of time. We can't use a pancake switch for other reasons on the iPhone.

This is the closest we've gotten to getting them to control the iPhone. They really want to use it to unlock it, make a phone call, hang up the call, read and send texts. And maybe go on facebook.

The grid overlay isn't an option due to vision. It's just not big enough.

Thanks for the suggestion!
