Hello, everyone. I am visually impaired, and I am a singer, songwriter and musician. My favorite kinds of music are Gospel, Country and Pop. I enjoy studying Astronomy, Animals, Mythology, Physics, Animals, flower, name and color meanings, and more. I was born with only one eye, and I could only see colors, light, and enough to get around. I could watch TV if I sat very close to it. Because I couldn't see well enough to read any kind of print, I learned to read braille. When I was a teenager, Glaucoma took what sight I had, so I had to learn even more about new ways to see.
My computer has a voice program that only reads text, but not pictures. I use the left, right, up and down arrow keys to read the text, and this takes time. I still enjoy playing the timed quizzes over here though.

I have played over 100 quizzes, and enjoyed every one of them. I am getting ready to create my first quiz, and found a link in Author Central that led me here. Being an administrator and moderator, I went to find the rules of the forum, and I read all the stickys at the top of this forum. Oops,! I shouldn't have told you I am an admin and mod. Now the staff might be keeping a closer eye on me. Lol!

I didn't join Fun Trivia to spam. I joined to play quizzes and games, and to have fun. I would love to make some new friends along the way. I enjoy PMing and reading replies to my messages. I look forward to meeting and talking with all of you here.

Thanks for reading.

Joy

Though I am without sight, I am not without vision.

That was suppose to be my sig. Sorry. I can't delete it.

Welcome Joy, that's a very interesting story and you will certainly bring a lot of fascinating topics here once you get going in the forums. I have just celebrated my 12th birthday here and still at least as much to do (a lot more quiz wise) than when I first arrived.

Coming from a similar situation, I have learned to live with the time penalties and to enjoy the things that can be realized by attending the site. Do you use a magnifier to read other things? I am interested in "The Big C" line of hand held microscopes. Do you have any experience in this regard?
Anyway, welcome to the forums. The forum profile page has a special box where you enter what you want your signature to be (limit 250 characters). It is easy to miss.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am totally blind, so I have no use for magnifiers of any kind. Sorry I can't help.

Welcome aboard, Joy!

Welcome from me too!

Welcome to the forums, Joy!

Hello Joy and a big welcome from South Africa

Hello Joy and a warm welcome from Spain, I am sure you will enjoy it around here.

Hello Joy from me, Sue, also a moderator and administrator.

You ought to enjoy our forums, with the exception of the photography forum and the gallery in Useful Tips and Tricks we do not have images so you will not be missing anything.

Hello, and thanks again for the welcomes. Spain, Austrailia and South Africa are three of my favorite countries. I plan to study them here on Fun Trivia.

Make yourself at home, Joy! We're so happy to meet you!

What a coincidence--so am I. A very warm welcome to you from Pennsylvania.
