    Cell phone with built in TTY?

    Is there such thing as cell phone with built in TTY? I'm considering replacing my old phone and I could get any regular phone but to carry a separate TTY seems redundant if there can be one built in cell phone.

    DVD and Blu-Ray subtitle rant

    Hmmm :ty: need to check that out. I did search by Google and it seems all the remastered edition was combined and reissued as Robotech Protoculture Collection with a few extra discs, the bonus discs from ADV release. The big box set is much cheaper used than individual sets to get complete series.

    Awesome Memes

    I live near Frankenmuth and I see lots of idiot parking there. Once I paged some of my friends and had a mini flash parking, boxed in a car that was taking up 3 parking spots (and made sure all of our cars were legally parked) then we all went for a long stroll and lunch. Came back to an...

    Most amount of money you've found? (in $ US)

    The most that I kept was a $20 bill. I've also found $5, $10, and a few $1 bills. I did find a much larger sum (total of 4 lost purses over the last few years) but I turned it all to guest desk at the store for them to track down owner.

    DVD and Blu-Ray subtitle rant

    Why is it that when shows are on TV it has closed captioning but when it's released on DVD, it doesn't get any? Take for example, Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. It's fairly new and not very old series so no reason not to include subtitle. It's not just newer series, older series were...

    Doorbell for the deaf suggestion?

    I looked over the suggested devices, it seems there are 2 basic versions. One simply "listen" for doorbell but that could cause false alarm due to noise from other sources (ie TV). The other version adds a doorbell button, and I'd prefer not to do this as it'd be confusing to a visitor with 2...

    Doorbell for the deaf suggestion?

    I am deaf and I would like to have a flashing light when someone uses the doorbell. It will need to be able to connect to existing doorbell as I have other people in my house who are hearing. The flashing light would be useful for when I am alone in the house and someone needs attention...

    About That Idea for Buying Olives Online

    Funny it also summarizes a local shopping experience. I wanted to buy a nice lamp I saw at Walmart, it didn't come with light bulb and I had no idea what E17 was. 20 employees later and lots of dead end (most steered me toward automotive section), I ended up not buying the lamp. :giggle...

    problem with battery powered TV for bad weather

    In the past I had a portable TV that could pick up local TV stations with the antenna but with the change from NTSC to ATSC I have a problem. There is no cable service in my area, the nearest TV station is around 40 miles away and with ATSC I can't pick it up at all on my portable TV (yes it...

    Which bidding system do you prefer?

    I prefer eBay style (fixed end time) for anonymous type auction. You never know if you get a few trolls who keeps bidding to extend end time and never intend to let it end or pay up. For live auction where you are there in person, going once, twice, gone is fine since it'd be hard for troll and...

    What are some good one-liners or humor to use when mentioning my hearing issues?

    I tell them it's not hearing aid, it's the new hand free satellite cell phone, talk anywhere anytime.

    More movies without CC or CC symbol on DVDs.

    I have Blu player and a few BD. I get BD movies ONLY if they are really worth watching. Most of the animated show, shows and movies made for TV, and some regular movies that I like but not a lot will stay as DVD. I am not going to rush and replace 1000's DVD I have just because blu looks better.

    Vizio won't show DVD CC; why?!

    I have a Vizio 32" TV and my Blu player is hooked to both HDMI and Component. I use HDMI for discs that do have English subs, and component for CC only video. I get CC fine over component.

    DVD says CC, but does not have Closed Captioning

    I'd like to add another complaint. I got the dual feature DVD of Cloak n Dagger and Wizard (like this one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Cloak-Dagger-Wizard-Double-Feature/dp/B0019PL2R0/ The box says closed captioned. I can play Wizard without a problem but Cloak n Dagger has NO closed...

    Hi!

    Just found this site so I thought I'd sign up and post here. I've been deaf since birth (1973), my hearing loss is quite severe with loss in 100dB range. However I was raised to speak (no ASL) and I'm quite good at talking... if I talk. I don't usually talk much anyway. :giggle: I...
