Well, these people keep coming up with ways to "Help" us.  If they really
want to do something constructive, why don't they involve the blind and find
out what we really want instead of wasting good money on stupid things that,
A, we'd never use, and B, would be too expensive to buy if we did want them,
and C, don't make any sense?

Hi,
I've heard of this device. It's been around for a while. Roger Behm of WI,
has used it. But PURRsonally, I think it is a little gross to use our tongue
for getting around. I realize that the tongue is sensitive and there are a
lot of nerves there but there's also saliva, eeww. I'd rather use my ears,
or hands; something less germy. 
Thanks
Lauren
Blessings in Jesus' name
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus."

Here is an article from the June 18 issue of the Washington Post. I missed
it on Newsline but saw a Facebook post about it today from an NFB member. I
groaned at the time. Then I saw a KIN5 news story about it tonight. Of
course they pretty much read the story word for word. I will call them
tomorrow. I would appreciate your thoughts about what I might say and how
you all feel about this.
