    what does everyone else do?

    I feel your pain. We have solutions here and now to communicate with anyone via txt, email, IM, Video cam, notes but companies would rather ignore us than treat us as people. Guess it's just cheaper than hiring one person to handle hoh and emails. Such ignorance and that ideal of "get them on...

    People that "hear" just rather not deal with me

    Need some help with iPhone and TTY

    I know use the search function! Before I get flamed please help, I'm pretty down/depressed and humble about all of this. I found out at 34 to have an "official" impairment of which confirmed the obvious, something worsening over the years. I'm finally going to eat the pride and use what I can...
