So I am all facebooked out for one night!
I ended up getting Ang to sign me up (to avoid that visual varification thing) There is an audio alternative there but nothing happened when I clicked on it. So I had just varified the email, and I varified my mobile number so I don't have to worry bout the graphics every time I add a friend. I added Ang, aunty and cousin and no-one else as yet. will do that tomorrow at work. yes, for some reason ANZ does not block facebook! blocks most other stuff but not facebook, how cool! I got a friend request already, before I varified my email! Lol
so yeh there's a lot I'm yet to learn. but, i see a lot of ppl from school on ang's profile so there I go!
today went OK though by the end I was absolutely starving!
In all my facebook excitement last night, I had forgotten to mention that I saw Dad's new motorbike last night, and it was only then I learnt that motorbikes don't have pedals! I so didn't know that! wow! yeah OK .. so he's threatening to drive me down to rye on it; nooo! maybe a short distance, but I feel more fearful of them than I use too.
also I saw the gym equipment they got. is rather nifty! I'm not as strong as I should be though; must do something about that! -- ah well!
OK I'm off I think! will play with facebook more tomorrow. still learning how to search properly and things.
til next time, RdFreak

Huh?

Ok, I gotta ask. Did you mean the same kind of pedals that are on a bicycle? LOL. If so, sorry, but LOL. Or maybe you thought it was like the gas and brake pedals in a car? That would make more sense. Ah, I bet that's what you meant. I was just trying to imagine someone on a motorbike pedaling away. LOL. What a sight that would be. Uh oh, I'm running late. TTFN!

yes, I did mean pedals on other bikes. how was I to know? I was never told! though yes, it would be a strange site, but so be it.

Oh wow! You mean you thought even though there was a motor, the rider had to pedal? Ah, that's ok. If I told you half the things I used to think and then found out I was wrong,... well. Send in the clowns.

only found out a couple years ago quite by accident (through asking parents for a third chicken leg) that they only had two; ah well; there ya go! the joys of being blind and not feeling every animal or every thing from top to bottom.

Re: Huh?

Oh who knows. I bet there is a chicken out there somewhere with three legs. A chicken mutant. Hmmm I think there should be a law that would allow us to feel everything top to bottom, and I mean everything. LOL.

Maybe this will make you feel better. I knew a sighted girl that thought that in the men’s restroom, us guys would get down on our knees in front of a urinal and put our, ahem, in a little hole to urinate. I swear, it’s a true story. And she could see! I have to say, she was extremely embarrassed when we clued her in to how we really do it.

Ug, the way she thought we did it, yuck yuc yuck. How unsanitary.

hey,

I kinda e-stalked you from melbournemaniac and I just wanted to ask you a few questions (if thats cool)

I've always been curious about how blind people used computers, I'm I assumed you have braille (sp) on the keyboard but with reading text does it get read to you via audio?

Also how does it work with formatting and all the tool bars and things on websites? and proof reading does it read it back to you? Anyway sorry to badger you but i've never had to opportunity to speak to a blind person before and i'm very curious with lots of questions!
