I'm writing from Mon's place. We have SAtogo loaded, and I'm upset as my faithful decktalk isn't working; it's this other grating voice which I don't remember it's name. It's the one that comes by default with NVDA; it's awful! not sure where decktalk has gone. maybe they changed it, or maybe this is what SA defults to with windows 7 as this is what this puter is running.
But it is cool being able to access other computers like this; SA for the win! :)
Mon has left for school, and I will be going back to Kaz'place later, but for now I am here. Had breaky with Mon in the freezing cold; wasn't that nice of me! Lol .. nah; she actually offered to give it to me in bed, so more like it was nice of her! .. we had yummy breakfast Baritos which she makes.
Yesterday I spen the day at Karen's which was awesome!
Last night Mon and I were talking about the possibility of training Joy to be able to pick objects up for me when I accidently drop them. she asked if guide dogs would mind us training her to do this, to which I replied I don't care if they do. it would be extremely handy." so, she started the clicker training on her until Joy got what was going on, and then she started with picking up my keys. Then I held the training food bag and dropped my keys and Joy would pick them up for me! it was cool. and we gradually introduced other things to be picked up, including plastic bills, a teatowell, and much later on, a tissue box and a slipper! she's making great progress and is extremely easy to train, even for me. I figured, and Mon agreed with me; we've got this great resource, why not use it to the full potential? I don't see anything wrong with her having extra skills under her belt!
I'm to practice daily, probably using her mealss instead of extra food which makes much more sense.
Well, I am off to proofread this since this voice is disgusting and no doubt I made a few mistakes. Then I will go make a cuppa tea while I read me friends page, again with this disgusting voice! :( ah well, can't have everything! :(
Til Next Time, RdFreak
