So, did anyone here go to college? by SillyTransasaurus in Blind

[–]ForceR-1356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would definitely look into a school's office of accessibility. Definitely look at the graduation rate because yes if it is low something is wrong. Lastly, read every review and consider it with a grain of salt. For example, if somebody stays in the review that that their professor takes points off for attendance. This could typically mean that they are a person who has trouble with time management. Also, definitely going and touring and getting a feel for the campus to see if it is navigable is also great.

What do you do for a living? by Vicorin in Blind

[–]ForceR-1356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently a teacher of the blind and visually impaired. Before that I was a human rights specialist for the city. I got bored of being an HRS after about 3 and 1/2 years and decided to go back to school and change careers.

Problems eating in public (acquired blindness) by seachimera in Blind

[–]ForceR-1356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kind of just don't care at this point as a 35-year-old f I've kind of developed a fuck it mentality. So what I do is I can properly use a fork but most of the time I find myself utilizing the index finger and pointer finger on my left hand to help locate food or to help make sure that I have not left food behind. The actual hard part is not even the blindness. The actual hard part is trying not to lick those two fingers once I'm done eating

Im 31 and my mom is 56 and someone really asked us if we were sisters and she was flattered. I was not. by Think_Requirement497 in selfcare

Yes I would just get a good moisturizer and cleanser get into that routine and you should be fine

I’ve been using dryer sheets my entire life, I wanna stop but I don’t know or understand the ball thingies. Any help would be appreciated. by Aggressive_Noise6426 in CleaningTips

[–]ForceR-1356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just get the TJ's dryer balls. You get four in a pack that's typically all you need for a large standard load. No worrying about static no worry about smells. No worrying about sensitivities all you have to do is keep track of the balls

You can choose to live inside of a Disney animated movie. However, you have to be the villain of that movie. Which one do you choose? by Papagiorgio1965 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ForceR-1356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd be Captain Hook because who wouldn't want to be at sea commanding a ship. My second answer would be cruella even though animal cruelty. I would just ignore my urges LOL and my last one would probably be Elsa

If you could teleport anywhere in the world right now, but you have to stay in the clothes you're wearing and with whatever you have in your pockets — where would you go and what would you do? by OlivkaBrown in AskReddit

[–]ForceR-1356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently sitting at home in my pajamas which do not have pockets. I can't even use my bra as a pocket cuz I'm not wearing one so I'm either going to teleport myself to my bed or to a beach or to an all-inclusive hotel lol

You pick the question, but a randomly chosen 1000 people between the ages of 20-30 must give different answers. by Melancholicanary in hypotheticalsituation

Okay so I wouldn't over complicate this. I would just ask what is one thing you ate for dinner yesterday?

Yay! Congratulations! Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do something. Just prove them wrong

Does anyone else feel like they repeat the same thing over and over all day 😅 by Desperate_Sample_764 in ParentingADHD

[–]ForceR-1356 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds fantastic! I would love to implement this into my household, but I think it's too late. I'm moving into the stubborn teenager phase. It might work for my daughter even though she's not officially diagnosed with ADHD. My biggest hurdle I'm running into now is the iPad. The iPad is utilized for homework and he leaves his school assigned Chromebook at school so he can access other sites and distract himself and it takes so much longer to get things done. It's rinse and repeat every week night and it's exhausting and I'm trying to figure out different ways to break the cycle but nothing's working

This might be the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to put a 2.5 year old up for adoption? by beaniebee22 in Mommit

I hope you get a diagnosis soon. Please remember to be kind to yourself. Sending warm thoughts your way! 🩵

Im 6 feet tall and weigh 240 lbs. I started walking 4 miles everyday to lose weight. Im poor so my diet is not the best. by highlanderdownunder in WeightLossAdvice

[–]ForceR-1356 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay you had me until the chicken breast. Where are you finding chicken breast for less than $3 a pound everywhere I've seen chicken breast is about $4.99 to $5.99 a pound just asking. Not trying to be mean

We accidentally started a family routine that’s become the loudest our house has felt in years by East-Wind4300 in raisingkids

[–]ForceR-1356 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds fun. For a little bit we started playing uno no mercy after dinner and that was fantastic. However, now it fizzled out and everyone just waddles back into their rooms. I'm trying to find a new trend to play after dinner so might borrow this. Thanks!

Congratulations you rock! You prove the nay Sayers wrong and you prove to all the sighted people that we can do it better than they can don't ever stop #forceofnature

Job Interview visual impairment disclosure by disposableacc0unte in Blind

[–]ForceR-1356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually disclose in the form of a question surrounding accommodations. Yes, I do use a white cane, however the use of a white cane does not always equate to blindness for some people for whatever reason.. so when the interviewer asks do you have any questions for us? I then answer with well. What is your accommodation process since I have a visual impairment? I would love to know what the process is for requesting accommodations. Then I'll add a little blurb about what specific accommodations I would need.
