Re: [QUAD-L] Phone!
Silas, I do offer a totally free solution for a cell phone Bluetooth Headset on my Website http://www.nobuttonsheadset.com/ It is on sale right now for about $50 off the regular price. I am also working on a landline that will be totally Voice Controlled and therefore hands-free. I am running into a few delays but hopefully it will be ready within a few weeks.

Woah! In addition, I have not noticed any new, young members join the list. Or, perhaps they have and are just lurking and/or they are much younger and therefore we seem like old geezers to them. LOL LOL Having said that, I recently came across some old e-mails from user names that used to be on this list but that I have not heard from or seen posts from in years. One was QuadPirate and another was BluzQuad. Then there was Keith who was from New Jersey. A couple of years ago, or a little longer, Keith and I had corresponded off list. Being longtime correspondents, I am worried about him. This is because he had two brothers who were helping him but they were beginning to get burnt out and he was worried what was going to happen to him (as far as care) and I have never heard from him since. Anyone remember those guys? Are any of you named above still lurking? Lori -- Lori Age - 45 C4/5 complete quad, nearly 31 years post Tucson, AZ
RE: [QUAD-L] 44 years and counting
Glenn your attitude has kept you here on this earth for 44 years post SCI for a reason; that reason is as black and white as the text below mine! Your words are as inspiring as your longevity cheers to many more anniversary's! Tim c5-c6, almost 22 yrs. down http://www.whoopiekat.com/CrocksCrib/index.htm Subject: [QUAD-L] 44 years and counting Each year I think that most of us have our eyes on something and that something is today. Please join me in the celebration of 44 years post SCI. I've had a good life, doors have been opened that otherwise would never have been, I've missed out on some things but have gained others. Tomorrow may be different, each day is, but for today I feel good, no pressing problems and I thank the Lord for letting me survive yet another year. I now put my eyes on July 10, 2011, 365 days or 366 if it's a leap year, and it will take it one day at a time and some days five minutes at a time, but I'll take it anyway it comes. My goal for this year is to expand my personal mentoring to other handicapped people, and complete some of the things that God put me on this earth to accomplish. God did put me on this earth to do a certain number of things, right now I am so far behind that I will never die! Have a good one, Glenn

[QUAD-L] Leg Bags
Does anyone know where I can get the leg bags where they have the buttons on the 4 corners where the elastic band supports it around the ends? Instead of the little slit ones. They hold the leg bag in place better without bunching up. I bought a box of them before because I heard they were not going to make them anymore and im running out. Johnny

RE: [QUAD-L] Mouse or track ball
I use a laptop, but the only problem is you must use skin to operate the curser. Or at least you can't use a stick or it's rubber cap. So I bought a Pogo Sketch Stylus pen. It will work on the computer touch pad, ipad, iphone, droid, etc. So I can type with it and move the mouse easy. Greg I'm looking for an easier mouse or track ball. What do you use.
Re: [QUAD-L] Leg Bags
Hi Johnny, Have you ever considered just using a bed bag while in your chair? I do. I have a hole cut in the left pocket of all my pants for the tubing and the bed bag connects to a loop under the seat of my chair. I have black material that covers the bag and tubing. I never have to worry about drinking too much or the tube kinking. So much easier and more reliable than my leg bag days.

[QUAD-L] 36 th anniversary
I had my 36 anniversary on July 26. I celebrated by going to the Paul McCartney concert on the 24th. It was great as he sang 33 songs and his voice has not changed, nor his body. He sang my favorites, which are The Long and Winding Road, Yesterday and Bluebirds to name a few. His last concert that I went to with Wings was 17 years ago in Arrowhead... I was first introduced to the Beatles when my uncle brought me the first two Beatle albums. Paul was always my favorite. My first concert to see Paul McCartney in Kansas City was in 76. My brother had to wait in line all night to get tickets. Write up about the concert: _http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/2010/07/paul_mccartney_at_the_sprint_c_1.php _ (http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/2010/07/paul_mccartney_at_the_sprint_c_1.php) A list of all the Beatles albums: _http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-b/beatles_main.htm_ (http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-b/beatles_main.htm) Is anybody else on the list a big fan of the Beatles and Paul McCartney.

Re: [QUAD-L] Leg Bags
Hey Steve, I'm not sure I understand the set up. Or well, let me put it this way. You put your excess tubing in a coil (?) under your seat cushion? Don't you worry that you might not kink it but you might flatten the tubing? Is there any way you could provide a picture of this? Thanks Steve, let's talk soon. Tomorrow is five years for me, I'm still a baby to the quad world, but I think I'm doing okay.
