Sorry you all, but my last reply was cut short because I hit a wrong key here
and the next thing I knew, my message was sent before I was thru. I was born
without my left arm from the elbow down--so I guess I had some advantage over
the rest of you learing early how to deal with the problems presented in
adaily life-style designed for two-armed people. I take the challenges I am
now presented with, being a T 3-4 incomplete para, with the solace that it
could have been worse. I get this attitude from my father. When i was a
young squirt, I was complaining to him that I needed some new shoes because
the soles were coming off the ones I was wearing. As he was fixing them with
some wire and glue to see if he could get some more milage out of them, he
told me about the story of the boy who complained and complained that he did
not have any shoes to wear until he saw a boy who had no feet. It took me
until I reached adult hood to understand what he meant, and I understaand it
even more now.
