Caller Id For The Blind

Features Required

- Voice Caller id (Should announce the number vocally for every incoming call)
- Memory: So let's stay my friend leaves home and comes back after a few hours. If there were any calls he missed. He should be able to retrieve the missed calls. And the phone should announce the Date, Time and Number of the missed calls.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Your friend needs a phone for the Visually Impaired. There are a lot of different manufactures that make phones specifically for people like your friend.
Here is a link that you can browse the different links for those companies.

These 2 handy devices are helpful for blind and visually-impaired people. I purchased these from the CNIB. Now I know if a telemarketer or a ...

The phone is for a friend who is legally blind and hard of hearing.
Keypad must have extra large keys and optional lighted background, be digital with answer/caller ID and loud ringer for incoming calls.

Try your local council on aging. A lady in our church who is legally blind and is hard of hearing obtained one through our local agency. It also has some kind of emergency service hooked up through it. Good luck!

Vic,

The worst thing you can experience in life is regret. If you want something but are not sure if you can have it, then YES is a great answer. "NO" would be a bad answer, but never knowing and having to live with "WHAT IF..." for the rest of your life is pure torture.

There's nothing wrong with doing a little observation of this guy to form your own opinion, it sounds like you've been doing this already. If you don't have the guts to come right out and ask him if he fancies you as well, try the stealth approach. Go out of your way to talk to him as well, but keep the conversation general and non-threatening. If he continues the conversation and seems genuinely interested in talking to you, then that's a good sign.

If things seem to be going well at work, maybe you could ask him if he'd like to join you for dinner. An easy way of doing this for the first time would be to wait until some of your friends from work (whom you wouldn't mind dining with) are nearby, then ask them if they would be interested in having an "after work dinner" or getting together on your days off. Invite your hot guy as well. That way at your first dinner together outside of work it will be more relaxing since there will be other friends there.

Take things slowly and if the time seems right, just come out and ask him. Sometimes you never know until you ask. I can't tell you what to say, but if this guy has always been friendly with you, has accepted your invitations to "hang out" outside of work and seems interested in talking with you on a regular basis it's probably a good sign. Just say, "you know what, I may be completely off base here, but I really think you're attractive and I just wondered if you felt the same way about me".... or something similar.

Now be careful, this is where you get your answer. Remember, a "YES" would be great, a "NO" might make you feel embarassed, but you have to be prepared for either. Keep in mind that you have to know unless you want to kick yourself the next day for being a big chicken and still not knowing.

If he says "YES" then you can take things from there.

If he says "NO", don't burst into tears or run from the restaurant because then you'll look like a freak. If he says "no" it's okay to be disappointed, but be gracious and be mature. Apologize for putting him in an awkward situation, and assure him that this won't affect your working relationship, but explain to him your feelings and that you just had to know for sure. If he's got an ounce of intelligence, he will understand and you two might become better friends.

Usually I meet girls at bars or all the wrong places lol.....One of my realatives whom im very close to own a house cleaning company. She recently hired a new girl whos about 5 years younger then I am. She had original aspirations of settin us up and showed the girl my picture and supposedly the girl was okay with it.

I was surprized to findout my realitive decided to have the girl clean my house. So she came over here today while I was home and cleaned. I chatted with her not ALOT but I asked her alot of things mainly about college and stuff cause were both in. And shes takin a break to make $. I didnt really hit on her or anything but I get the sense we were both nervous about one another. I got the impression she is just as shy as I was...

After all that it came time for her to leave and I said "We should hangout sometime" and I asked her for her number but she has one of them pay as you go phones and didnt know her number and was going to reach for her phone but realized she called my place earlier and her number would be on the caller ID and HER NUMBER was on the caller ID and I got it... My question was shes coming back here again next week and atleast once a week to clean. Did I jump the gun??? Cause My realive was already trying to make a blind date prior to me meeting her anyways....

Honey, it sounds like you handled in wonderfully. Just enough chit chat not to scare her. Wasn't breathing down her neck, and with the "we should hang out sometime" comment, it was letting her know you were interested without putting a lot of pressure on you both to jump into anything. Gives you the option of just becoming friends over time or more, later. Kudos to you. Think you did a great job!

My much older (14 years older) half sister had sexually abused me from the time I was a year old until I was six. I started to fight back at that point, she then physically abused me and verbally abuses me even now I get away from her. My mother did turn a blind eye to the physical abuse. I made the effort to move to another city and I don't call or write, I don't want to. I have caller ID, so when I see that it is her calling I walk away. I later delete both her phone number and message and she still calls up. I cannot aford to change my phone number at this point. I tear up her cards, ex-change her gifts. I feel smothered by this filthy pervert and I get disgusted when she calls. I have not been able to have healthy relationships with women because of her abuse. I have gone to therapy for help and this is where I learned of my self value. I have the right to get away from her when I feel like it. Is she mentally sick? I want some validation on my feeling on this.

You sound like a strong person so well done on getting through this horrific experience.
Yes, it sounds like she is mentally ill, I think you'd have to be to abuse someone in the first place.
My advice would be to keep doing what you're doing ie. ignoring all contact and when you can maybe change your phone number. I'm sure you could also get a restraining order but I don't know much about this process.
You are strong and you can get through this, all the best.
