I've had one hectic weekend. No one's touching my computer ever 
again. You don't come in here and download crap to my computer after 
I tell you not to, and then lie to me when I ask you if you've done 
it. That's exactly what my cousin's son did. I ran a check after they 
left, to make sure. I had to peruse through the programs menu until I 
found two things I never installed. One was a game that I didn't 
download, which I deleted right then and there. The other object was 
that dumb old Norton Security Scan, which isn't free at all, by the 
way, and which isn't at all accessible with screen readers. I had to 
go to the Windows control pannel before I could uninstall it 
properly. Nope, I don't need any Norton products on my computer. No 
way, Jose. It's kind of a good thing someone can't access your 
Netbyphone account and download things to it that can cause system 
crashes. Heck, they're not getting back on my computer again. Never! 
Also, please do pray for me. I may have to end up calling DHR or 
Social Services, in order to find a better home.

I don't care what kind of a witch they think I am. This is my 
computer, issued by the state, and I'm not going to let someone keep 
me from using it. I'm already being discriminated against, because I 
have to use a screen reader. It's not my fault I had to go into the 
incubator at four months of age. I had no say, and the doctors were 
using their best judgment. If I didn't have to use Jaws, John 
wouldn't mind if I used the computer while he was watching TV. John's 
a man who currently lives with my aunt and me. I've lived here longer 
than he has. I'm about ready to pull up stakes and leave. Of course, 
I don't know where I'd go, being totally blind. I've already tried 
the state's independent living programs, but it hasn't done any good. 
I know Jaws, my screen reader, can interfere with the TV, but is it 
my fault that I have to use a screen reader with a built-in voice 
synthesizer? As a blind person, I need talking products that I can 
use. I'm not going to apologize for it. God obviously had a purpose 
for my being blind. I'm used to it, and I no longer pray for the 
return of my eyesight, although I believe in God's power to heal. If 
I never receive it during my earthly life, I'll get it back, when 
Jesus comes. He'll come, whenever it's time, but until then, I can 
wait, as far as receiving my eyesight is concerned. Sure, I can't 
wait till He comes, and I'm longing for His return more and more, but 
until then, I'm going to use my computer and Jaws, and I don't need 
someone telling me I can't. How would you feel if you were totally 
blind and someone living with you were like that? I know you'd pray 
for him/her, but you'd probably tell him/her what for, if you know 
what I mean. It's not that easy for me. There are currently three 
sighted people in this house, against one blind person. I'm 
outnumbered, although Jesus is with me, and I'm sure He's on both of 
our sides, but I really don't know what to do now. Please pray that I 
don't end up telling him where to go. Also, please pray that God 
convicts him. Also, please pray that God will lead me, either to a 
better home, or that He'll intervene in this situation. Also, please 
pray that I'll get the courage to report this to DHR, or Social 
Services. Until He comes, this computer's like my link to the outside world.
