just i felt like this is getting old , and i m getting sick of it , so i m gonna start my rant.
Since most of u guys know i m deaf and I have been looking for some parts or whatsoever i m trying to find n get MOST of time i try to call through a "relay" call which a interpreter will help me with the call i will get hung up on. cuz they re thinking it s a telemarketing call. Just sometimes it s something i really want to get or buy then i cant cuz the person wont answer or want to talk to me . Dont get me wrong i m not talking about u guys here , mostly calls i m making is from Craiglist or other webs.
There s so many things thats ridcilious when it come to being deaf. but this is one of my rants.

i know i m not trying to get some pity. nor i dont like to complain.
but there is deaf peoples out there thats in the general population as well
==hmmm ==doh
I never would have even considered that.
not that I would be an ==censor on purpose, but I could understand the other persons point of view.
Ive spoken to deaf lip readers before and was constantly reminded by them that I had to
look at them when speaking.
age and too many nights on the drums,guns,machinery has left my hearing not so well anymore.. I now find myself
looking at peoples mouths in noisy situations, and recieved some odd looks because of it especially from the girls.. (they think I'm staring)
im sure there alot of us out here that would help you chase parts if needed pm me if you need a hand
==qc you can text land line, robot voice repeats texts

Wow that has to suck. Wish there was something more I could say but that's what comes up.most of the time people are just asholes.
that sucks for shure im always glad to help out a fellow ==wgm members for shure let me know if ya need some help ==np
I grew up across the street from a kid who was deaf. All the way through school people were very inconsiderate of him. I've seen what you are going through first hand...if you ever need help let me know, I know several of us will be willing to make it easier for you.

x2, we could even make the call for you.
I'm sure that many things that we all take for granted are way harder for hearing impared people. Or blind people as well.

Anytime
Usually when i call somebody thru a relay i ll tell relay to skip the beginning where.relay tells them it s a relay call for the deaf person on the line and they re relaying the conversation or whatever i tell the operator dont tell em that just start the conversation like a normal phone call and sometime in the middle of the phone call the person will notice the call aint normal then the relay ll explain that i m deaf n they re relaying the call etc... But i been hung up on alot though it sucks
that sucks bad man, like a bunch of the other guys i'd be happy to give ya a hand, and i can relate to others about not being able to hear some things very well, and the looks or reactions ya get from people that don't get it,
you got my number.. i can do some calling for ya jsut text me and let me knw if you need help!
That sucks I could see that being very frustrating. Anytime You or anyone else needs a a hand from getting a part down in my area send me a Pm and we can go from there. I know I'm south of a lot of people on here. If I have the time I'm more them then willing to help.
Craigslist can be such a headache. You will see the part or the vehicle you want so bad. But if the seller thinks it might be a scam of any sorts they wont deal with you. I understand the scammers are real so you do have to proceed with cation when selling something. I have been looking for a very specific vehicle (willys wagon) so I have been looking a lot out of state. Most of the time people wont even answer their phone when they don't recognize the area code. Or when I tell them I'm calling from Michigan they hang up.
that sucks dude. I'll relay :) just shoot me a text. I try to keep in mind around ya that you cant hear me lol, sometimes i catch my self talking though. Habbit. Need to work on my writing, sometimes I cant even understand what I put on that paper ==roll
I know 1/2 of how you feel, I was born 1/2 deaf, I cant hear at all on my right side.
At college it can be a bytch, when I'm trying to listen to somebody around me talk to me while in a noisy classroom. I always have to walk on the right side of peaple so I can clearly hear what they're saying.
talking with women can be a challenge.........especially when most have voices that sqeek like a mouse......and I have to have them repeat what they said alittle bit louder.
It doesnt help either that I like to listen to loud music.....and thats not doing the rest of my hearing anygood...
Marshall Wasnt Making A Joke...Had It Happen To Me The Other Day On Our House Phone When Someone Accidently Texted The Home Instead Of My Cell...If Ya Text A Landline When The Person Answers/ Machine Picks Up The Text Is Read With A Automated Voice. Yea I Can See How That Would Suck Man....Ya Got My Number Too If Ya Need Anything
^^^and i do know capt. j if anybody thinks i sounded like a d head, lol
nah i dont no biggy i dont take nothing offensive .,... i ll just laugh it off
Lol Ok I Was Just Covering The Bases
