I live 20 minutes/10 miles from the dome as well. Good thing they found other place to play but too bad that TCF stadium is closed for winter. I know that Vikings have been begging for new stadium- after the incident, not sure how my co workers at Capitol will react to it since they have to deal...
Good news is that I have moved to my own apartment back in city over Labor Day weekend. Thats why I have been so quiet becasuse I was busy packing and moving. Its my first time living on my own without roommates. Its great to be back in the city, more close to my work, less hassle with bus (I...
Update: I talked to guy at Apple store, he said that Ipod Touch will come with camera and better screen. I did research online, yeah its true. The guy told me it should be out around Christmas. According to him, you can recycle your Ipod and get newest one with 10% off of price. I would do that...
To deal with people with disablity in civil way. I read that their security guard kicked a service animal also. Will never shop at Forever 21. Good thing I haven't shop there altough Mall of America have that store.
I wanted to add, security at my work know how to deal with deaf people because of me. If there are new security people, my friends would train them and tell them how to deal with deaf people. Security guards are not bad as long you get to know them where you work or frequent.
Now I know that Forever 21 is bad deal. The security guard should not use phsyical force, get training in ADA too.
As for my job, if someone walk off without paying, I go after them, and remind them to pay in nice way. If they refuse then I text to one of security officer then they take care...
As for me, I would signal that I am deaf. I always take hat/hoodie off before I go inside. Most of time I carry my own pen and notebook. Never had problem at my bank. One by my work always have security guard on duty.
Do anyone have favorite Facebook games such as Frontier, Farmville, Mafia Wars, and things like that?
I do have favorites: Treasure Madness, Frontierville, Farmville, Mafia Wars, and so many games but I do limit playing those games.
Do anyone use Ipod Touch here? I got it a couple of months ago and loved it.

I would usually go for free apps and games. Good thing it have wifi without paying or contract.

Who did you worked through? Whelan Security or do those stadium or teams have own usher/guest service? Twins have their own ushers. Vikings/Metrodome use Whelan Security, Target Center and Xcel Energy Center have their own ushers. Sometimes when it comes to political rallies, they call on...
I wonder if deaf or deafblind person have ever worked as a Usher at any major sporting arena or stadium such as Staples Center or Wrigley Field or Pepsi Center?
I just had interview with Minnesota Twins. They will be playing at Target Field starting April 2010 and it is new stadium. Once I...
