Hi, just wanted to say welcome and don't be sorry for posting on here - that's what it's for! Learning to ask for help sometimes isn't easy, we sometimes have to get past the pride that stops us asking. Posting on here's a good start - the folks who've 'been there done that' are brilliant and a great lift on the bad days! Keep posting and keep the new years resolutions!

chris, don't feel you need to apologise for having issues, we are here to support EVERYONE. it's good you are asking for help when needed, it's not easy, i know-one of the hardest things about a bpi is realising you can't do things others take for granted. please come here and ask for help with your problems whenever you feel the need, someone will ALWAYS respond. i hope 2002 is a great year for you and that things will soon look brighter :0)

Well I resolve not to resolve ANYTHING....

It's a hard thing getting used to the look peeps give ya...They are more afraid of you than you are of them so I try to put them at ease right away...it breaks the ice.

We all have issues and we are here to share them and learn from them...We also have a common problem...wonky arms that don't work quite right...so post away...better to get it out than hold it in...

Take care and happy new year, Mike
