Braille Items

Greetings, everyone! I obviously do not need a Braille Bible, (lol), but am asking on behalf of one who does. I know there are Bibles on CD, but in the interests of reading when electronic devices are not prudent. It is also understood that one such item may be costly. Many thanks in advance.

Looks like the 'all loving' God doesn't want you.

Leviticus 21:17-23 -
"Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a BLIND MAN, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a BLEMISH IN HIS EYE, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries."

In this video I show and further explain about the braille stickers that I put on my stove as mentioned before in my "Learning Braille at ...

Sight is a rare gift that is used everyday from the moment of birth. The truth in the matter is, its never crossed our minds how much it should be appreciated until its gone. Sight is crucial to everyday to day activities, but if the eyes should fail and blindness sets in life would change drastically. If blindness should occur adjusting to a new life would be hard, organization of personal items would have to be made and learning how to read Braille.

I think you have your introduction..your opening statement..your stating some arguments for the difficulties of being blind..however, i didn't cleary recognize your thesis 'Sight is crucial to everyday to day activities, but if the eyes should fail and blindness sets in life would change drastically.' THEREFORE IT IS CRUCIAL TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SIGHT... (Dont use if blindness should occur- this causes the confusion & makes your thesis seem too long) For example, adjusting to a new life would be hard, organization of personal items would have to be made and learning how to read Braille.

GOOD LUCK! hope i helped & wasnt confusing..

I'm an ex unix systems administrator, ex high school math teacher, ex criminal defense lawyer. I'm looking for a career change...I like to write stories and sew cute little novelty items. I've studied German, French, Japanese, Gregg's shorthand and two other shorthand settings and have dabbled in Braille and American Sign Language. I love cats. I can draw, paint and sing pretty well and can play the guitar badly. I love to read thrillers - Dan Brown, Dean Koontz, Kyle Mills. Any career ideas spring to mind?

Well none of those things are really related. You seem to have good administration skills and leadership skills. Maybe you can try your hand at starting a small business.

In conclusion, going blind may seem hard at first and may feel like the end of the world, but with time it gets better. A blind person can do the same thing they used to do only this time with help. Driving around, organizing personal items and learning to read Braille requires help. At the end its worth it to make the most of being blind. Overall, a person’s self organization, Braille ability, and training of the other senses would be huge factors for survival.

same things they used to do...
Getting from place to place, organizing personal items and...
In the end, it's worth the effort to make the most

Well I got brainstorming and thought up of this, ok I know I missed a lot but those I know for sure. Is the following exactly what they do?

I assume when buying food they ask where everything is since things get changed around lol and people put stuff where they don't belong and I think it would be very hard to tell the difference while picking items 5 inches apart? Besides they'd have to ask about the prices too. Oh btw I've NEVER seen braille in any store or market I've been to and I've also been to 6 countries. Oh and also won't they have to ask about picking fruits or something? I sure can't feel the difference between a ripe apple and an unripe one I can only tell if it's too mushy (or maybe that's coz I'm not blind and don't have the senses to tell). By the way I know they fold their money, what if it gets unfolded or if there are a lot of creases anyway and what if there were already various folds from before? I sometimes have to fold my money to fit a small one inch square oh and I used to use make origami's out of money when I was a kid before my parents yelled at me, haha OK well of course not many others would do that silly thing but anyway the most important, how do blind people deal with money which already have a lot of creases and folds from before?
Also, I'd assume a gas stove is too dangerous they'd have to use induction stoves with buttons in braille right and they just set timers? I guess they can wash and prepare food by feeling around, but what kind of precautions can they use? I certainly would NOT try to use a knife without looking at my food.
And when they wash clothes of course they use a washing machine with buttons in braille (our washing machine happens to have that btw) Also I assume they just pour out detergent in a cup and measure the level with fingers, and use gloves if they are measuring out chemicals that you won't want to touch by hand like bleach. Also do they tell the difference between clothing by touch and I guess they somehow label clothing of same style and different colour by cutting labels in certain ways? Or even using thread to sew raised dots on the labels, imitating braille? But then what do they do with clothes that don't even have labels or are just all torn up, some of my clothing is like that.
Guys, I need proper answers, thanks.

Why do you need answers? You obviously are not blind - are you going blind? To answer all your questions would take a lot of time. Without knowing if it is just curiosity or has a reason behind it - not worth my time - sorry.

But most of what you ask demonstrates a complete lack of confidence in a person who is blind having common sense. My closet light currently doesn't work, I can feel my clothes and know what goes with what - and if you know anyone who is blind you will know that they ocassionally get it wrong and wear things that do not match. As for cooking - common sense. Money - you can still fold it or use a scanner. Shopping use a scanner - shop with someone - or use a delivery service.
