Re: Tips on getting around with one arm.

I understand your wanting to back her with your support. Because that is what we all should do, support eachother. But when you start a sentence out with DUH!!! DRUXTON I'm guessing.......no not so nice. Help me out here, in her paragraph to me she refers to herself as an "OBPI-er". The pe...

Re: Tips on getting around with one arm.
