Red Box Rental!

Have you ever had problem with Red Box DVD Rental?

I just learned this over Thanksgiving with my family.

My brother's family had rented Red Box before and was fine for them since they don't need Closed Caption. Then I (deaf / hard of hearing) was with them for family Thanksgiving gathering and stay at their place to watch UP movies with them. They had hard time to get the Closed Caption going and wouldn't work at all. Then one of my nieces had to googled for more information, and we were informed that Red Box doesn't do Closed Caption.

You can see what other are saying: Go to this link.

I do wish that all the video/DVD/YouTube is in Closed Caption. Not just for me but for others as well.

Budget Still Seems Murky!

Please do continue to pray for wisdom that they need to keep both Deaf Schools open from now on, and never cut the budget, or never close the deaf school again.

Be on the look out for tomorrow newspaper! I am told that my letter will be in there. It will be a little bit out of date but better than nothing at all.

WebCapTel

I just want to share with you all about this wonderful technology. The Lord is so good to allow this wonderful technology. This wonderful technology would help me, or deaf, or hard of hearing. I would encourage you all to give this a try with your regular phone or cell phone. I try it last night and love it.

Go to http://www.sprintcaptel.com/

With this wonderful website, we can talk to them on the phone and be able to "lipread" what they are saying to us. This is very helpful for me. I am so thankful for this.

I haven't try it for them to call me on this yet and will need to test it soon. I had made about 3 calls on this wonderful website. It is great! No service fee. This is free which is a true blessing from the Lord.

I am looking forward to switch my phone server over to Time Warner and have a digital phone with them. I will not have Embarq which had been cheating me on the cost of the phone bills.

I do have CapTel phone which is great, but this special phone can't have digital cable phone line. It can only be analog or have DSL with analog filter install. There is no analog filter for the digital phone. I learned about webcaptel from this site.

I am so thankful for this wonderful technology. I am also looking forward for other wonderful technology too! The Lord is so good to us!

Deaf for Christ!
