Did I miss an e-mail or is this something talked about in a chat?  I could have missed something.  Of course since I've not been on all the chats, than that would explain why I'm confused - and gain, it doesn't take much for me (smiles).

Hello Linda,
 
I was telling those in the chat room last night about being a member for described videos.  You contact Bob Langford, make a one-time $25  payment and then you receive described videos in the mail, much like a library service.  You receive a video, watch it, return it, and wait for the next one to arrive.  You have the option of requesting what you want from a list, or just watching whatever comes along.
 
That's all there is to it.
 
Take care ,
 
Marilyn

Linda,

Yes, Marilyn mentioned this last night on chat.
It's neat.
I am replying to all of these so late that you'll more than
likely have already been told.
But,
if not just let me know.

Don't want to bore you by repeating something that's already been
posted.

Hugs, Me
