    Becoming Voice-Off

    I've been voice off since elementary school due to the fact I cannot hear what I'm saying.

    iphone 4s + project endeavor?

    As long as it's CDMA ready I don't see why not tho to be safe I'd get it directly from Sprint. Yeah some areas may suck as not all areas are 4G ready. But overall it's not bad cause they pretty much use Verizon's towers for coverage as well.

    Do deaf folks consider themselves disabled?

    LOL Why not? Think of it this way. Years of watching your local town big wigs waste massive amounts of $$$$ on ridiculous projects and buildings just to be abandoned and scrapped then repeat the following year.

Recently they just gave pretrail diversity to a 23 year old who...
