Ok - I have 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes in my head and a set that I can attach to see distance (LOL),

seriously - I have to first get rid of my roach (computer) and get with the times, then get a camera, then learn how to do whatever you have to do to do it - LOL -

well I guess you understand what I'm saying.

I would love to sahre pics of all kinds of things - I could bore you all to death!

One of these days.........

(my roach is on it's last leg anyway - so I'll have to get a new one soon)

Jon is always trading around on computer parts. We have built his Mom a couple of computers and put together one for his brother. They are not the fastest computers but they do well enough. We have put computers together and given them to friends who didnt have and couldnt afford one. Alot of our friends come by when they need computer repair. I think they get a charge out of telling people a blind guy fixed it for them.
My own computer is about 4 years old or more but it has lots of memory in it which helps alot.
Jon has a buddy who works at one of those rent to own places. He is a good resource to pick up pcs people return for just what little is left owed on them.

Hi Again JG,

I promised to tell you about the supplements I take for the carpal tunnel syndrome that seem to be helping: As I mentioned I take Turmeric tablet 450 mg. one x a day, it is a natural anti-inflamatory, also for nerve damage which is what carpal tunnel is I take 1 viatamin B-6 200 mg tab 1 time a day and St. John's Wort 2 150 mg. tab's per day and then Flax Seed Oil
two1000 mg tablets 1 x a day. These take approx. 2 weeks to get into our system and begin to see the results, once your pain has subsided discontinue the Turmeric and only take it as needed. With natural food and vitamin supplements you must remember they are not like taking some prescripyion drugs which give almost instant relief. Ther is also a supplement called Bromelain which is an anti-inflamatory I bought it but seem quit it as I figured to give the turmeric time and see if it works. I figure if it didn't work then I would try the Bromelain.

Just wanted to pass this on to you. Please do your own study on-line for specific complaints, aches and pains. And remember always ask your Doctor first, my Doc said "give it a try!" I am so glad I have. I hate aches and pain and numbness:mad: And I much prefer the natural approach rather than some of the side effects the other pharmaceuticals have.

Talk to you later my friend, Cathy

P.S. MamaM even if you have 14 limbs we'd love you, why shucks the better to knead that bread with I'd say!!!
