The old adage that It could be worse is so very true. However, that doesn't 
mean we shouldn't grieve our loss or vent our frustrations. All of us on the 
list drew the short straw and I imagine all of us get mad as hell over the 
unfairness of it all. I appreciate the little movement I have but I don't feel 
blessed because some other poor soul is in worse shape. Quadom is a bit of hell 
that simply varies in degree. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (if I had 
one). Thanks, my friends, for letting me rant. Have a great day.

 Hi Toby
 
 I didn’t take it as complaining but more as a statement of fact and wishing 
 for more.  We have been talking about our limitations and frustrations for 
 many years for some of us on this list.
 
 I only have shoulder shrugs as a C4 complete, but do know of other C4 
 completes that have more.  So we use what we can and learn to make do and 
 have shared many unusual fixes and adaptions over the years which have helped 
 each other.  This is one place we can whine and know that somebody out there 
 has been in the same spot and can have some empathy for what we have and what 
 we have lost.
 
 I have always wished for one arm and a somewhat working hand, and to heck 
 with ever walking again because I never need to look for a chair to sit in.  
 JEach of us wants different things, and each of us mourns about different 
 things but we’re all united by our handicaps in some way.  Thank goodness for 
 each of our uniqueness.
 
 Good to see you on the list.

I think we would all agree that any minute thing that makes our lives more 
bearable is a good thing and in no way is meant to mean anything negative 
towards those in worse situations. That being said, I did hate those cocky

 Hi Toby
 
 I didn’t take it as complaining but more as a statement of fact and wishing 
 for more.  We have been talking about our limitations and frustrations for 
 many years for some of us on this list.
 
 I only have shoulder shrugs as a C4 complete, but do know of other C4 
 completes that have more.  So we use what we can and learn to make do and 
 have shared many unusual fixes and adaptions over the years which have helped 
 each other.  This is one place we can whine and know that somebody out there 
 has been in the same spot and can have some empathy for what we have and what 
 we have lost.
 
 I have always wished for one arm and a somewhat working hand, and to heck 
 with ever walking again because I never need to look for a chair to sit in.  
 JEach of us wants different things, and each of us mourns about different 
 things but we’re all united by our handicaps in some way.  Thank goodness for 
 each of our uniqueness.
 
 Good to see you on the list.

2012-08-25 Thread Danny Hearn
Whoever stated that there is no  GOD -- is dead wrong-- he has proved to me 
that 
he is real several times in my life,
First of all mankind introduced sin by going against gods simple 
instructions--- 
man and women would have lived forever in the Garden, God told them of all 
things you may eat here EXCEPT the Tree of Knowledge and if they did he told 
them they would surely DIE. God does not sin and does not lie.   So in the 
begining It was the perfect set-up,  now we must die to ever have eternal life. 
He saw that manking was so sinful that he even sent his son to suffer and die a 
horrible death for us ( which he willing did )    For any interested I'll tell 
one incident he showed me about 3 or 4 years ago.   I have it wrote down date 
and all in a notebook. I had been reading the bible and praying an awful  
lot for God to give me wisdom and guidance, At that time I was obsessed with 
home, cars or a van, bills money and etc. Well one of those nights when me and 
my wife went to bed--she was asleep but I had eyes closed and was trying too 
also-Then next thing I knew, GOD had somehow took my soul/spirit or inner 
being out of my body and had me floating up about Four feet or so ABOVE me and 
my wife's ( Leeann's ) bodies.During this time I was mystified thinking 
I'm completely out of my body but can see everything, in the room..about 
that time while I was trying to understand what was going on-- GOD  ( somehow ) 
showed me --Flashed it before me---Houses, Cars and large bank accounts or 
statements. Then in a loud clear voice, He spoke to my mind saying ( what does 
it all mean now??? )  I was so light and free of pain or feeling of Earth's 
gravity. (  I felt so good it's hard to describe )  Then I said ( means nothing 
! your more important than Anything in the whole wide world ! )  At that point 
he spoke again saying.see that's what I've been trying to tell or show 
you.  
Then very swiftly as if he by his hand or some force shoved me back into my 
body 
!!!.  As soon as I was in my body again, I felt very very heavy feeling pain 
and 
gravity's pull once again. ( I know some of you will think I'm a nut or Crazy) 
but I do not mind at allI  just feel he wants me to tell someone ( anyone ) 
about this REAL experience from time to time.  My Wife Leeann believes me and 
said she wishes God would show or give her a unique experience sometime 
also. With love, Dan H.  C-6  15- Plus years post. St. louis Area.
