Are YOU HIGHFALUTIN???

BUSINESS, PERSONAL, or WHATEVER---YOU need to read this!

Just want everyone to know: All that HIGHFALUTIN, fast talking, you do can not be understood by a hard-of-hearing person.

If you leave a message on a hard-of-hearing person's answering machine--using that HIGHFALUTIN, fast talking----you just may as well not call. Don't know who it is, what you want, or where to call back. So, if you never hear back--it's your own fault.

Oh, I'll leave comment with definition of HIGHFALUTIN in a comment. So proper, so fast, so unnatural, so ill-mannered, so unbusinesslike, so useless--who cares if no one can understand you--but you sound so modern, right???

Need GAMES

I am an advocate for several things, one of which is the elderly. We do have an aging population, "baby boomers".  Of course everyone won't have dementia but there will be an increased focus on postponing dementia. I believe there is a market for computer games that are not all geared towards speed or having to have internet access to play. 

I'm sure almost all of the games are created by young people--who can't possibly see through elderly eyes. The reflexes slow down, the hands become more clumsy, the glaring, blaring, action packed, rush and hurry games are just too much for some seniors to play. Yes, games should have a challenge, rewards, etc. But, for many elderly it's too much, too fast, too impossible to feel they've gotten anywhere. This leaves them dreading to play instead of looking forward to playing a game. The sad part is, the really need to do this and it's very difficult to find suitable games in the stores. 

Please consider researching some of the ways the elderly, who are healthy or already in stages of dementia, can have games to play on a computer without having to go online. (When you do your research you might find a lot of elderly people can not cope with the hassle of getting online but do mange to use their computer without internet).  Also, remember that not all elderly can afford internet every month but can buy a game now and then.

Losing business??? This might be why!!!!

BRAVO! Nothing like trying to communicate with someone on the phone that "ignores" your request  for them to speak slower, etc. OR give you someone that will. BUSINESS owners: If your business means anything to you--provide someone that can communicate under these circumstances. Rude people from  your company just might affect your business!
