I'm happy for you Yizuman. At times we all need a little help and I'm glad you're getting it. Hopefully it will help in the job department and be a good step on the road to getting you financially back on your feet.

I conclusion, I just want to say that for whatever small part my tax dollars have contributed to your enjoyment of a good hearing aid, "You're welcome."

That is the most asinine post I have read in awhile.

Hang in there yizuman, all that means is there is something better out there for you. Grats with your hearing aids.

So - who here believes that Yizuman's hearing aid was really and truly "FREE"?

My point is that it cost SOMEBODY SOMETHING, and that it would be appropriate for Yizuman to direct his gratitude toward whatever people or agency really made his boon possible.

But it is a lot easier to go WOO HOO! LUCKY ME! as if no gratitude was appropriate.

Leeches and other parasites never thank their hosts, however.

Cool Yiz!!!! God knows we ALL need to get a freaking BREAK in our lives once in a while!! Hey...now we wont have to SHOUT at you any more LOL! (j/k) The job market sucks all over Yizzzy...its not just you. Im soooo happy my husband and I have a business out of our home because I would NOT want to be out there applying for jobs in this market. All those years in the trades as a JW finally payed off for him, he does home inspections and will be getting his building contractors license in a couple months as well. However my teenaged son is starting to learn that even flipping burgers has become acceptable employment with so many out of work adults, and kids coming home from college seeking jobs too....the new kids on the block, the upstarting teems looking for summer work are on the bottom of the heap even bagging groceries at the Winn Dixie!

Let us know when you get your new hearing aids!

Wow.

Ok, so hearing aids cost $1800 from another post in this thread. Assuming that all 280 million Americans had an equal share in helping to pay for this (which I know is not entirely correct), then your share comes out to $0.000006428. If you feel offended that you did not personally receive thanks for this, then you should get a refund.

So do you also expect personal thanks from people who collect any sort of benefit from the government? Isn't just a given that all of the benefits we receive are a result of the collective efforts of the taxpayers?

Drwtsn,

I'm not looking for any personal thanks at all. For all I know, the hearing aid was provided by some kind hearted mega-capitalist like Bill Gates, or a benevolent charity.

My point was that some expression of GRATITUDE from Yiz might be appropriate, but he thinks these "gifts" descend from the clouds or appear with the morning dew.

Such an expression is foreign to Yiz.

From the first time Yiz showed up here, he's made a career out of seeking pity and handouts. Then he went over to bboy's forum and posted some nasty comments about Simon, who plays host to his ungrateful posterior over here. Review some of this guy's history and I think you'll understand where I'm coming from.

Just so everyone knows that is 1800.00 per hearing aide. I am deaf in one ear.

I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus when I was 14 and it was figured at the time that I had had it since I was 2. I have been on Supplemental Security Income since January 1986. I have a $4000 wheelchair and a priceless seizure-trained companion dog. I get over $800 a month worth of prescriptions at no charge. I am on Medicaid, I have used Food Stamps and Welfare from time to time. I usually do not qualify for FS and Welfare since I have no children. I am totally supported by a system that I never paid into.

If I could work, I would not be making minimum wage at some fast food joint. I am highly intelligent and no one could ever call me lazy(I have 15 yrs of regular pioneering, with a wheelchair--to prove that!)

So, when I hear someone like Nathan making comments like they did about people who are disabled (not because of choice,) I say a little prayer(spell) that those people someday get first hand experience of what it is like to walk in a disabled person's shoes---or roll in a disabled person's chair. I certainly owe no one with the attitude of Nathan any gratitude. I am not a better person than Nathan and I don't pretend to be, but I am just as good. And I fought just as hard for what I have as anyone who is 'able' did--if not harder since I usually had to fight governments AND self-centered creeps--all with a physical body that is defective.

So Nathan, may you never know need, because someone WILL just spit in your face and walk away.
