But i dont know anyone personaly is totaly or profundly deaf. And rush limbaugh isnt my friend cause i dont know him. All my close friends and members of my family are hearing people.I dont know anyone personaly whos deaf. And not any of the politicans i know whos deaf.
Many things that shouldn't have happen to many people yet it happened. Many good people doesn't deserve that kind of craps but it happened.

That's why there is ol' saying, "shit happen".

Raving, grudging, ranting, whining, complaining, talking, bitching, griping, grumbling, etc etc all you want.. but it will not CHANGE anything. That's what you need to accept it. Face the ugly reality and accept it. Either way, move on and fulfil your potential in your life or roll over and die in the gutter. That's only two choices for all of us on this earth.

Well, I’ll give you that one Steve—being an LDA is no picnic. Every LDA I’ve ever met was freaking out BIG TIME about being deaf. But they adapted. I. King Jordan is an LDA—he was deafened at the age of 21 in a motorcycle accident. I’d say he’s adapted remarkably well to his deafness, wouldn’t you? In fact, he says now that if he could have his hearing back, he wouldn’t want it—he’s perfectly happy with himself the way he is.
 
See Magatsu and Levonian including the other are saying the same thing as I am saying. So why still complain and blaming. Its not right... really not right. 40 yrs old and acting like a child. Sad I tell you sad.
 
I get the point what you people are saying suppose you had your favorite dream job that your wish came true and it didnt last long would you be upset and struggle to get it back? I had that happend to me.My favorite job was working for the Baltimore Ravens as a field staff in 1996-1999 But my family moved to florida. My boss is still my best friend there and he still gives me free tickets to watch the ravens. Every now and then i get on the field again. But i still loved working for them. Now i lost my job in the movies due to my hearing now i cant get both of my jobs back.Now how would you feel if that ever happend to you?
 
Perhaps if we all took a moment to cry for Steve he would feel better!

Here's some mood music for you Steve. One of Paul Simon's best!

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

ravensteve, ah so you cannot read too? Codger posted the text, not music sounds. It is text... sir.
 
Steve, I used to sing. Really sing. Plays, musicals, stage performances, church solos. I still have a couple of records I made. I can't hear them though. So I move on. I still have my life. I still have my family. I have no deaf friends, but I do have friends. I don't blame anyone for my deafness. I would blame me if I didn't deal with it. So would my family and friends.

Steve, I used to be an architectural draftsman and a master patent illustrator. I did all my work in ink on vellum. That is not done anymore. I am obsolete. I can't get that job back.

Steve, at 42 I went back to college and got a degree in Computer Aided Drafting. I worked in that field for years but, I am obsolete again and can't find a job in the field.

Steve, I have been building swimming pools every spring, summer and fall for years. Every winter I work as a framing carpenter, concrete finisher, finish carpenter, plumber's helper, or CNC machine operator. I was recently diagnosed with a ruptured disc and spinal arthritis, and a bad ulner nerve that has made my left hand numb. And some sort of not-yet defined heart condition that causes me to be dizzy all the time.

Steve, I began progressivly loosing my hearing over the last five years, and I still have two thirteen year old children at home to finish raising. The men in my family all have fatal heart attacks before age 62.


MY life is good and I thank God for every minute I have had, and every minute I have left. And you should too.

I truly admire you for this. You have character, courage and strength to adjust to any roadblocks in life with dignity and pride. :hug:

i realize you are VERY NEW in here.. if you have a chance.. read all of steve's posts.. he won't give a rat's ass on what you tell him.. everyone in here has been trying to help him for WEEKS since he joined in here.. but he continues to be SMUG and have a BAD ATTITUDE towards all of us and thinks he HAS ALL THE ANSWERS TOO! .. so we gave up on him.. SO GOOD LUCK WITH HIM... maybe he will listen to you eventually.. but i doubt it.. you can give it a shot though ... you got nothing to lose ..

Believe it or not. All of us do. I mean, all of us are trying to find the answers for many things but unable to find any. We move on anyway.

Lol! Zesty, I HAVE read Steve's posts. And I understand that he is mostly trolling for sympathy. And he is angry. And he has some twisted perceptions of reality. But tell me something. Has his trolling had a good effect on any of us? Other than making us angry at times, I mean. Doesn't it make us all look in the mirror and reexamine ourselves? Doesn't it make us verbalize our own thoughts and feelings? I even read the athiest and agnostic posts for the same reasons even though some of them deeply offend me. And the political rantings I do not agree with too. So far, I have been able to moderate my own responses and so avoid a flame war which would be harmful to the members and the site. This requires deleting many long responses before I hit the submit button. I recieve a lot here in the way of knowledge and support. I only hope I have given as well.
