Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

You made me laugh!
My husband and I made an agreement 41 years ago.
I would raise the children he would work earn the money and it was my job to spend it! It works for us... LOL...
I forgot when I worked I spent that money too!
Still no outreach here in NY!

Still no outreach here. Boo hoo !!! What is wrong with the mail system. (Oh, that is right it is run by the beloved government.)

Nancy, I have decided to start the long walk from Illinois to Ohio, so that maybe I too can get my copy of OUTREACH BEFORE the next one comes out !!! LOL

I know it is bulk mail....but did they have to put it in the mail sack of a dead snail? LOL

Still waiting.

BTW- why is it that junk mail arrives so much faster than anything you're expecting or waiting for?? oh and the bills come pretty fast too!

I know the secret -
As a board member I have seen Outreach but not received the fully printed magazine yet here in NY...
So I guess bulk mail takes longer to get to the lower Hudson Valley of NY.

How much will you pay me not to tell Carolyn... LOL...
I am sure if she knew I knew all this time she would have been nagging me... LOL.. via e-mail.

It's worth waiting for thanks to all those who participated.

haha, yes I know you know the secret Kath. And hmmm.. payment to keep you quiet.. LOL. It's kind of fun driving Carolyn nuts but boy am I ever going to get it. Hehe, I am not worried!
But yes, thanks to those of you who are keeping it under your hats until a few more get it.
I can't wait, but looks like I will have to wait until AFTER Christmas!

COme on the is not fair. I only have one more day to get OUTREACH and then no mail for 2 days....boo-hoo !!
I don't even remember it being this hard to wait for SANTA. Maybe I am getting inpatient in my old age. LOL I find it hard to believe that bulk mail takes this long. Hopefully, I get mine in the mail tomorrow.....if not I will cry !!! LOL GAYLE

P.S. How are you guys finding the smilies...I used to be able to find them and now they have disappeared, and no I have not yet started on the EGG NOG !!!!!
