Do anyone know what like being deaf in good and bad way?

Everytime you see greenbaypackers1920, his english sucks. It because I am deaf and I don't hear words every day.. I see hands every day with my friend and writing. My good thing is that getting pull over by a cops. started to talk to me and I didn't understand one word he said and i point my both finger to my ears I am deaf and can't talk. and he like really umm he knew it going to talk longer to write back and fourth so they let me go smiling. I remember got ticket from cop saying that I wasn't driving safe on the road. so I disagree with that and Talk to the Judge and told him reason why?? becasue I am deaf and I have 2 year old and 1 year old and I can't hear them crying or something and I have to look back every time to make sure they are ok. Judge let me go. I really enjoy it alot being deaf. My kids are hearing know sign. it cool to know they can commucate with you. bad thing my mom and dad and sister don't. so ummm smiling.

    You could go on a motorcycle or a rock-concert and never worry about your hearing.

    You could be in artillery or pyrotechnics.

    You could live in a cheap house near the rail-road or an L-train (but I don't know how your kid would like that).

    It's not great to be deaf, but you might as well take the consolation prizes, right?

    I can hear, but it often sounds like everyone is mumbling so I can't understand them sometimes - now THAT sucks.

    I learned ASL out of interest. Later on at college I found out I had a hearing problem called "Auditory Processing Problem" meaning, my ears work just fine, but the brain part that does the hearing is messed up. I often miss the first part of a sentence if they don't have my full attention and certain voices are difficult for me to understand due to their tones.

    I enjoy using ASL when I can. I have a friend that's also hearing impaired.

    I started using ASL with my son when he was two years old. He has Autism and didn't talk till he was four years old because of the Autism. Now he talks, but we still use ASL if rooms are crowed and can't hear. He also has the same hearing problem as me.

    I feel really sorry for you because you are such an asshole. You need to grow up and deal with your disability like an adult.
