Hi there everybody. Ready for a little able rant?

Once upon a time oh 11 (!) years ago when I had just given up on
hearing 'aids' (there has to be a better more apt name for those
things...) and just got my TTY (very happy until I found out many
hearing folks "won't use them because they don't (gasp) want to
(gasp) have to talk through an Operator...(gasp!!!)...- I wrote an
article for a now defunct Advocacy magazine. It was a contest actually
and I won $100. BUT later on I wasn't too happy with my writing which
spoke way too happily of TTY devices opening doors for the Hearing
Impaired). I wasn't too happy because while it fit the them of
advocacy for the disabled it had a bitterness conveying chip on
shoulder.

Can you help it though? THEY put it there. The ones who refuse to meet
us half way with our efforts to ease communication with them.

Perhaps the better thing to do is to communicate the way you are able
with those willing and write off the rest who are too self centered to
even try.

End of rant. What say.

Cindy
