Just want to tell you a short story heh.. it about me and neighbor. That he would not hire me, because I AM DEAF!!

About 1998 I got layoff from welder for 7 year job. At My Home and saw my neighbor who is owner of land care business. He have like 3 worker with him. I walk over there and ask him if he is hiring now? And He said "NO". I Said "if You need hire, Please contact me." he said "OK". Next three days, saw a new guy work with him and I ask my friend who work with him. He said he hiring new worker instead of me. I felt bad. So I said "f--* Him. Next few days I decide to become my own small business to do lawn care business. But it working my business grow and grow. NOW My neightor and I are emeny. He is so angry (HAHA). Because I am HARD worker and Motivation Person. Some of my client told me that they not happy with their service. That His problem because he would not hired me at first place because I am deaf and he think I cant do anything. oh Bull!!!

Now I have three deaf guy who work with me.

-- How can I talk?
Well I can read lip and talk pretty good.

-- How Can I answer the phone that I cant talk on phone?
We have special tty machine for hearing impaired like relay
service.

--Why Client like our work?
Because We are hard worker, finish work on time, and Send
them greeting cards.

-- Did some client feel sorry about us being deaf?
Yes most of it and they offer tip to workers. We told them that
we are not allow to take tip or take any cash from clients. That
out company policy.

Charles your neighbor has the biggest "handicap" of all …… Ignorance

Many moons ago I was a Manager for Pizza %ut Delivery in the Washington DC area ....very busy competitive area ..... thru my training store we hired many gifted kids …as part of the Jobs Plus program ….one very special man was a deaf mute ...

William later became a delivery driver! which ended up getting our management team national recognition for the program …he had a printed card explaining whom he was ….how much it was ….. he showed all of us that Anything is possible ….and so it is …..Good Luck

Very cool Charles.
anytime somebody has the gonads to make the point that handicaped don't mean disabled makes me proud
keep up the good work.

READ THIS FIRST> this is an old post

I just found it entertaining that someone was brilliant enough to actually write like they were deaf.

Its winter, I need something to do.


Do a search to find other posts from Madlawn if you want to laugh a little.

He made it sound that "just for spite" he decided to start his own lawn business. It also sounded like he was in "full " operation in a matter of days. Needs 3 helpers that fast?

How does one become "banned" from Lawnsite??? Does this happen very often. Its a new concept to me...

Foul language, insulting other members, and other infractions of LS rules.

I was just wondering the same thing.
If you are banned can you ever become "unbanned"

There are many posts barried inthe moderators forum from this guy.

I think he was advertising his "I'm a website designer" part of the biz.
