    Any one else have Issues with Apartment Complex Maintaince keying in ?

    *Breathes a sigh of relief* OK, so I guess I need to talk to them again. The manager knows I am Deaf. I'll ask them to write it down somewhere in front of me, or go talk to the head maintaince guy myself. The head Maintaince guy met my Husband and was told I was Deaf. One of the reasons I...

    Any one else have Issues with Apartment Complex Maintaince keying in ?

    I'm just wondering if I am the only Deafie with this Issue. When I moved into my New apartment I asked the manager very politely if Maintaince could not key in, because it would scare the snot out of me, and make me feel unsafe. Because I'm Daf I'd never know if there was someone in teh...

    Deaf Culture in Florida ?

    Thanks deafdyke ! LOL, Jacksonville, would be interesting, since I was born there ! We've actually discussed that a few times. The idea of going full circle like that, is amusing. I didn't know there was a Deaf blind school there though. Definately have to look into that more.

    Hearing Ignorance of Deaf Culture

    I think it depends on where you live, an exposure. When I was in Balitmore, grade school kids on the block used to sign to me everyday, when I asked where they learned they said 'In school'. There were alot of Deafies in the area and it seemed like 90 percent of the Hearies know a least some...

    This thread makes me feel almost obnoxious. I don't apoligize for being Deaf. I just say, "I'm Deaf". In stores and places like that, I just walk up to the salesperson and say, " HI, I'm deaf !", While handing them my trusty notebook and pen and then say, "Please write things down". Then I...
