Why don't you start an "Ask the Hearing Impaired/Deaf Person" thread? It would give people a great opportunity to get to know you better and learn about the world you live in and how it differs from that of hearing people. From the time I was in kindergarten, I grew up with a deaf friend, but I still have questions I'd love to ask your perspective on. Think about it.

You may ask me whatever you wish. I see you have been studying my posts?? no?? every thread i start gets 'off topic.' people see me as a rag picker and a poor deaf person. those are all true. so now they choose to call me an 'attention whore.' i understand what that word means. people just keep respondng to my posts, when there are so many others to choose from. let me give this new post idea you suggest a thought...

Your Czech friend,
Pam.

Nope, haven't gone hunting down your posts to read. Just what you've posted here and the link HLJ directed me to. I hope to see the new thread soon.
