How can I make finding phone numbers easier if I have arthritis?

Here are some handy tips to make it easier to find phone numbers if you have difficulty using your hands: Keep important and frequently used phone numbers handy. Avoid having to use a heavy phone book by keeping frequently used phone numbers handy on a printed list near each telephone. Using large print to make the names easier to read, list the phone numbers for individuals you call frequently on one page and the numbers of frequently called businesses, doctors and others (as well as the poison control center and emergency numbers) on another.

Make copies of both lists, place them back-to-back and slip them into clear acetate sheets. Put one list near each phone in your house. If you have a cell phone, enter frequently used numbers into the cell phone directory and use it to look up and dial numbers.

Cut large, heavy telephone directories in half. If handling a heavy telephone directory is hard on your hands, try dividing large telephone directories into two sections -- the yellow pages and the white pages. Use clear tape to add a cardboard cover to the cut ends.

Contact your telephone company to see if you qualify for free of charge, directory-assistance services. Your doctor will need to document exactly how your disability prevents you from using a telephone book to obtain addresses and phone numbers. Ask the reference librarian at your local library to find phone numbers, if you are having a difficult day and do not qualify for directory assistance.

Use the Internet yellow and white pages to look up addresses and phone numbers anytime day or night.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
