Hi Lynda, Oh yeah people coming over never remember to turn off the lights, so when sighted people leave, I have to go through the bathroom, front room, kitchen as well to turn off the lights. This makes me crazy! I never think of the lights. Although, if I don't check the house to turn off the lights, they will be on for days! so they wonder why I don't turn on the lights, and I wonder why they don't turn them off! Smile! So now when they come in, and say oh Janet why didn't you remember to turn on the lights, I will now say, oh why didn't you remember to turn them off the last time you were here! Smile! When my boyfriend would come over, and he say Janet so you had company today, but for a while he wouldn't tell me how he knew that, and I thought to myself, Yikes, how does he know that, but it didn't take me long to figure that out, oh my goodness, my brother didn't turn off the lights when he left again! Now, between the sighted people coming over, and not turning the lights off, and the phone apps needing lighting, I will have to start to remember these lights, because some of the apps for the phones also need light! I also just added to my grocery list lightbulbs! Sorry listers and mods this is my last comment on the lighting situation.

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." Lynda and Missy On 6/2/2019 9:22 PM, Paul and Paula Jordan wrote: > Hi Janet. My husband and I are both totally blind.
