Re: Bra Staps (again!)

I also adjust the strap for my OBPI arm to be shorter.. that helps for it to ...

Re: Should we take legal action?

I wish my parents would have as well. but at the time I think the issue was not the hospitals fault, but the moms fault for having a big broad shouldered baby... Oh well, too late now. :-P

Re: ODD SITUATION

I use the wet roll too and prop the arm up on the wall... you know what's a pain in the rear though? shaving. put eoderant under the good arm WITH the good arm isn't so bad... but trying to shave that bad boy... goodness.

Re: Anyone Golf?

I've tried golf before, I just use my good arm as the bottom one, I can get a pretty good shot off that way. Same in hockey, I was pretty good at ice hockey and used my good arm basically to whack the puck. good ol' lefty didn't do much.
