Hi Janet,
Whenever my husband would go on a trip with out me friends would come
over and they would turn on lights. They would of course not turn them
off. My husband would come home and say "oh you had company."

Hi Janet. My husband and I are both totally blind. I turn on the lights
for my guide dog, but there was one I kept turning on and didn't realize it
was burnt out. It was in my computer room where I didn't often have sighted
visitors. I wonder how long I turned on the nonworking light thinking I was
being such a good, attentive guide dog owner. Keep smilin'.
God bless!

Subject: Flashlight Issue Resolved!
Hi All,
For those who might have been following one of my threads regarding the
flashlight on my phone, and because Be My Eyes had to turn my flashlight on
my phone through their phone in order to see. Well, I have to admit I feel
so embarrassed to even admit this,as it was pretty stupid on my part. So
here goes, once again, I called Apple Accessibility, and I told them every
time I call Be My Eyes, they keep telling me they can't see anything except
complete black, and they would have to turn on my flash through their
iPhone. So Apple rep checked it, on my phone by seeing if they could see
anything on my kitchen counter. Well, the Apple rep was telling me the
exact samething that Be My Eyes was telling me, Janet everything is
completely black. The main problem was one of my kitchen lightbulbs
directly above my kitchen counter, and where I would hold a product so Be My
Eyes could read it to me. Well, low in behold, one of the lightbulbs blew
out, and I never even thought about that! De! I felt so stupid, but
luckily enough, the Apple rep has a father who is blind, and he said he goes
through this quite often with his father! I don't know who laughed more me
or the Apple rep! Wow, did I kick myself for that one! Smile! I guess
that is what I get for being blind! Although, I kept turning the light
switch on, but I just never thought to feel the lightbulb, until the Apple
rep said hey Janet how about feeling the lightbulb, and I said oh yeah, I
never thought of that. I then had to get a chair and an extra lightbulb,
and insert it, and the Apple rep said, hey Janet I can see your whole
kitchen! Smile! For those who might not know I am totally blind, and I
live alone. I couldn't imagine when my sighted family or friends would come
around, that they didn't even say anything about that. I have this one
friend who comes over often when she is on break from work, and she is
always turning on the other two lights, and raising the window shades, and I
just would think wow, some sighted people really need a lot of light, but I
didn't need that much light to see when I was sighted! Well, I'm happy that
problem is solved! LOL! The Apple rep told me not to feel bad about it,
because he also learned something, he didn't know someone else using an
iPhone could turn on my flash through another phone.
So I want to thank all those who tried to help.
Janet
Peace Be With You.
