@bookysue's reply to littlegin: Lots of people don't like captions! My husband hates it when I find a channel that offer captions. Lucky for him, Charter only provides captions occasionally on one or two little-used channels that show really old TV series. I've tried using the e-mail contact to ask for captions, but zero response. I've done all the steps to turn captions on, but either they're not available on any channels or one for a few days or weeks, then it disappears. Sometimes a different channel offers captions briefly. Really annoys me when programs I'd like to watch have a credit for the company that has paid to provide captions...when I can't seem to get them. I know that the ADA says all programming should have captions, but Charter/Spectrum seems oblivious.

Not all things make it better for everyone. The ADA ordered sloped curb cuts 30-some years ago. While they're great for those in chairs, they mean that those of us with no normal balance have to avoid the sloped places and find a place with a real curb and a definite step down on really bad days. Of course, we Menierians with a serious case are a tiny percentage of the population, so it's just something to learn to live with. Most days, if I have the damned disease in remission, little things like that aren't a problem. I had a wonderful remission for over 30 years, did VRT daily, and was able to do everything. Now, I'm struggling to regain a remission so that I don't need to creep around, stumbling into all the furniture like a serious drunk!
