umm (clear throat). no one ever force me to become deaf. i'm still hoh. this is who i am.
no one cannot change me. i realized that if they don't want to hang out with hoh is fine with me. i simply walk away.
by the way, deafdyke. my niece read yours and she disagree with you. she says, "no one is better" and never!. it's the attitude.
norcal, i don't think you read all of mine. you're just not interested.
