[QUAD-L] Brownies
Now don't cheat on this one, go with the first dessert you choose!!! If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one!) Trust methis is very accurate. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you. After taking this dessert personality test, send this e-mail on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above. ALSO, SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU. DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR DESSERT CHOICE IN THE SUBJECT BOX BEFORE YOU FORWARD IT. Here are your choices: 1. Angel Food Cake 2. Brownies 3. Lemon Meringue 4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing 5. Strawberry Short Cake 6. Chocolate on Chocolate 7. Ice Cream 8. Carrot Cake No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully what your choice will be.. OK - Now that you've made your choice this is what the research says about you... SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating 1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times. 2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal. 3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, articulate with your hands, you are an excellent after-dinner speaker and a good teacher. But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, but you have many friends. 4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lack motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life 5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. Can be very emotional. 6. CHOCOLATE ON CHOCOLATE -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh. 7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance. 8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. - Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.

Hi Henry, I have FrontPage 2001 and I just clicked on the help for FrontPage and went to the Index part. I typed in thumbnail and it told me how to insert a picture file.

Try clicking on the Help in FrontPage 2002 or while you are using FrontPage, you can just push key labeled F1 on the keyboard and it should take you to Help.

[QUAD-L] Pecan in the Cemetary
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just Inside the cemetery fence.One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the Tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he Thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to Investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for You, one for me."He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you See ;it's hard for me to walk." When the boy insisted though, the man Hobbled slowly to the cemetery.Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for You, one for me..."The old man whispered, "Boy, youve been telling me the truth. Let's See if we can see the Lord."Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still Unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought Iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a Glimpse of the LordAt last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go Get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of The kid on the bike.Smile, God Loves You!!! All-new Yahoo!

Re: [QUAD-L] copying programs
Hi Mark and Dave, If the program is for a pacific type of computer like for instance a Dell, Compaq, or Hewlett-Packard. The best way to put it on another computer is to take WinZip and Zip up the folder of the programs name which will be located in your Program Files Folder that iswhere it is on the computer you are trying to move it from and if you got away to put it on a CD or have a Zip Drive with a USB Cable, you can then transfer the program that is Zipped up to the computer you want it on. Then you must use WinZip program to unzip it to the computer you want it on. Then you take the folder after it is unzipped and put it in the Program FilesFolder on the second computer where you want to use it at. Be sure that you have show all hidden files and folders working before you Zip up the program folders namein your Program Files Folder. You can use Hotmail to send up to 3 megabytes through the e-mail also. That is another way to transfer files. It will not transfer folders, there for you need to use WinZip to make the folder into a .zip file. If you need help, email me withHelp Chetin thesubject line.Best Regards, Chet (Cquad7)"David K.

Hi Amye and Henry, You could take the music CD and put it in one of your CD-ROM drawers then go to My Computer, highlight the CD drawer you put your CD in and then right click. Go down the list until you get Explore. Left click on Explore, you will then see the tracks that is on the CD. Select the track you want to use by highlighting it, Go up to Edit at the top, left click copy and copy it to a place that you won't forget where it is at on your computer. I usually copy it to my desktop or to My Music folder that is in My Documents folder. From there it will play on your computer using Windows Media Player without the CD in the drawer. You can do with Any Music Cd's you have. This will work if you are running eitherWindows XP or Windows XP Professional.

It can be diluted and used as a spray also for the right away cure for Foul Odor.

[QUAD-L] Question
I myself don't get depressed, I get pissed off but never depressed. I feel like I was supposed to go out of this World Fighting since what has already happen to me I can not change that back to being what we called "Normal" again, so I do that, I am Fighting everyday now,soI don't have time for depression to really sink in. Taking meds for depression is just another drug you got to have someone else to dish up for you to take with water or soda. I am on enough meds already that I don't enjoy having someone give me them let aslone more. Look for the good side of being Paralyzed even though you think it is not there, spend your time finding it and other thoughts of being depressed will subside. Life is a Gift and you didn't die when it was your time when you had your accident so, be a possitive Person for others to Admire. I am not in your shoes but, they have a saying that goes "Walk a Day in My Shoes" and us People with a SCI is saying "Give Me that Chance". Then we find out that we were so wrong to ask to do that because now I am worse off. I am now having to go get my Kidneys Flushed where before I ask the question, I didn't have to deal with that 3 times a week. It can only get worse before it gets better if you are not careful.Don't Worry Be Happy... Chet ( Cquad7 ) Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com

[QUAD-L] What Do You Think?
I was just thinking that it takes a Man and a Woman to Conceive a Child together so, why can't they take a Mans Sperm and Ladies Juice cause I don't know that much aboutFluids of that nature. I just haven't put it on my list for learning it, even though I am a Father of two.Lets forget whats above and give you my reasoning for typing this. Why cant they take the two fluids that make a child from any Man and any Woman and use it to make the embryo's we need as Paras or Quads to help us walk again if it is possible. Cant they be produced outside the body of the Woman using what ever fluids needed to keep them alive in a Peatree Dish or another place where they would Thrive and Grow?It is probably a stupid idea that I come up with, but wanta to put out there in the e-mail chat to see what you all thought of my Idea. If it ain't such a dumb idea, then we can have people all over theU.S.A. helping us walk again and function as we once did that did walk at one time. Wouldn't be killing anyone by using that Method. People could donate there fluids and not have any obligations what so ever. Have the people not know where fluids went or who they were mixed with.

Re: [QUAD-L] What Do You Think?
Well then I am just not keeping up with the times as I should do, but when I got in my wreck and the Doctor told me I wouldn't be able to walk again, I took him at his word. I made the mistake of driving sleepy and I am paying for it for rest of my Life. Not that if they would just give in to Our Prayers as the President should have by not Vetoed the Bill. President needs 5 years of my 17 anda half years of sitting and laying down.

[QUAD-L] Shoes
I've went to the best store for shoes, Wal-Mart and they are very reasonable on there prices too. I bought me a set of Hiking Boots one half size bigger than I wear and also "wide width" which is very important because of the swelling of the feet during the day when your sitting in the what I call "The PresidentsQuad Chair". I feel important but I am wise enough not to make any decisions for thepeople of the U.S.A. . "Smiling" I got some Nike Tennis Shoes that give me a red mark on my heal after two days of wearing them. That ain't good, I got some of the other brand of tennis shoes that made my heal do the same. So I done figured it out that, I can't wear tennis shoes longer than two days. "LOL" So I hike around in my Quickie 646 wheelie chair. So, this could have been a shorter e-mail but I had to drag it out and the only thing I can suggest for shoes to wear is try some out after your foot heals and when you find some that doesn't make your foot get sore, keepem. Those that give give you aeven just a red markwithin 3 to 4days, return them and try another pair. I would also have anyone putting on a lace type shoe, un-lace the shoe atleast half way down before trying to put it on. Keep your toe nails trimmed off which would be the very best of care also. It was Neglect on your Nurse not to un-tie the laces down half way or check your toe nails for trimming that you had to spend time in the Hospital. If she could offelt what she did to you, I guarantee she or any other person would not dothat everagain. Good Luck with the Healing and hope it all turns out back to normal for you.

Re: [QUAD-L] super quads
Hello Penny, Just speaking for myself on what you wrote about being a "Super Quad". I don';t really belong on the list of being one of those kind of "Quads", I think I am one of the people that "The Man up Above" did not want at the time of my accident. I was left here to gossip, tell a true story, and enjoy what Life has remaining for me before I "Go to Heaven" with who's on this list, plus all the others that may not either can't afford a computer or can but doesn't care to exchange their thoughts with other people, or just don't care for these nasty computers to mess with. After 8 years messing with this computer stuff I've aged 14 years cause the computer can and will drive you either crazy in Love or just plumb crazy. I really do thank you for the kind words you wrote and "God Bless" You for thinking of all the other people here on the [ Quad-List ]the way you said. I also like these here people too, they are all a real bunch of nuts. Thereare Hazel Nuts, Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Cashews, ect. "LOL" I hope they know I am kidding. I hope all is well with you and come back anytime with some words from your Mind. They say "A Mind is a Shame to Waste", but it's to late for me. Chet ( Cquad7 ) http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/5815 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just had to throw my thoughts out here on this subject of "super quads." I have been reading the post and find it amazing that you all do not see yourselves as "super individuals," I certainly find you all that way. Whenever I start to slip into a "pity party" attitude I come online and always find a post that picks me up. I know that is not the intention of the poster because rarely are any posts directed to me, but just reading what most of you face and how you all deal with each issueencourages me. I think that each and every person on this list is incredible, and in my mind it proves the old saying "that which does not kill you only makes you stronger" Recently, here locally and in some surrounding towns they had an unsung hero's tribute, and I think I'd have to say that my hero's can be found on this list. You might be surprised at the impact you have on peoples lives that youtouch. What I find sad is that most of youare rarely told how important you are, so I did not want to miss out on the opportunity to let you know what my thoughts are.

Re: [QUAD-L] get pressure sore well
I have had a bad pressure sore one time and it became a open wound because I did not want to stay in bed to let it heal up. Well it got so much worse that it took six weeks for it to finally heal completely and if it weren't for using the Bag Balm 10 days in to trying to get it to close up.

A Friend of mine had to have skin graphs on his behind because of doing the samething as I did not staying offof the old rearend when it first gets red enough and your helper presses on the spot and it doesn't turn white. It is time for one days rest and alot of weightshifting until it'sback to normal. If it's still pink within 5 days later. Stay off for two day's, then get up and do a lot of weight shifting.

Re: [QUAD-L] Choosing a van ... Full or Mini
I have a 1993 Ford Aerostar that I got three years ago with a lift on the side already. I went 13 years without any transportation except for the Dial-a-Ride and the other handicap Van with drivers that I thought my Life was over one day going to a Doctor's App. . The butthead went to pass a truck when another truck was going to pull outfrom a side street, the driver drove 70 miles per hour cause he was late getting to the house and he wanted metheir on time. Since then I've had to ride in ambulances on that little gurney and hated it all the way their and back. I have to bend over double drive my wheelchair backwards on to the lift ramp, then have to turn to the left and make my front wheels just so they are where the safety stop clears my wheels, be lifted up praying each time it doesn't break and then back on up with a quarter of a inch clearance between the lift and my back tires on each side to be able to gothrough the threshole. Once I am in and the lift is in the foldingposition, I got one inch clearance from hittingthe tip of my shoes,I then get tied down on all four corners of my chair to go for a ride. But my Gosh!!! I am so thankful to have my own transpor- tation. Chet ( Cquad7 ) C-6 incomplete C-7 complete Lori Michaelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thing is ... the pros cons DO make it difficult to decide. Common sense here but I've had 3 full-sized vans with 3 different lifts. With the full I liked the indoor maneuvering space and easierto travel with that space. I DON'T miss the bulk of it, the gas hogs they are or the longer wait on the lift unfolding, loading, refolding ESPECIALLY in freezing weather. I now have a Braun Entervan (minivan) and love to just zoom up the ramp ... little wait. Better gas mileage. And not so bulky to drive around in. The lowered floors make a bumpier ride (bothers my back) but if it's not lowered I can't see out. So I have no idea which choice to make next. I WANT to put a ball on the back to pull a smallU-haul and I'd like the bigger indoor space but, then againI love the mini-van ramps. *sigh* Choices, decisions, ugh!

Re: [QUAD-L] longest time in wheelchairs/sores
I did get a pressure sore from sitting to long that put me in bed turning from side to side for three weeks. A person should always take the time out to take their weight shifts around 2 to 2 1/2 hours apart and you will never hardly get a sore that keeps you out of your chair. It also depends on the type of Cushion you are sitting on. I have the Deep Contour Jay Cushion. I tried the Rojo Cushion but, it made me red within 1 hour of sitting. That's all I got to say.

[QUAD-L] i'm so depressed i could throw up
What to say anymore about being depressed about stuff that doesn't seemed to help with your self asteam or your mind for that matter. We as Quads or Para's have to set standards for the people that are walking as we were at one time, that we are the toughest minded, spirited, let alone craziest people God ever chose for us to Live our Lives sitting down and having helppeople have a job helping us Live. We are Blessed that we not only survived our ordeal of each of our accidents we had, but we help Doctor's have money with our UTI's we have, Pharmicists who can fill more subscriptions we need for our muscle spazms and all other medications we may need. Heck we are the Strongest People known to Mankind who not only can go as fast as 5 m.p.h. in our chairs and actually run the walking people into the ground before our chairs run out of power as long as we have them gassed up before we go up against one them. "LOL" Depression or being depressed is a part of every living soul here on Earth. Beating it before it gets to you so badly is very hard to do and I have no clue to what to tell others "how to beat it". The first two years of my disability was the hardest time, crying most the time watching others on the news having their troubles hurt me. I was giving a choice either stop or I can't be taking care of you and that came from my Mothers Mouth. Talking about feeling worse about my own Mother telling me that "I'm gonna have to give it up if you keep up", I just felt terrible that I was hurting Her as well as hurting myself inside. Let Depression in the front door but then give it awhile to try and take over your Life then, give yourself a big ole muscle spazm and give it a swift kick out the window.

Re: [QUAD-L] gall stones
Hello Lana my name is Chet and I have had my Gall Bladder removed. It's not a complicated surgery either. He won't ever be bothered with stones again if he has that done. I am C-6 C-7 Quadriplegic and my Gall Bladder wasn't funtioning properly so the Doctor thought it would be best to just have it removed. Hope all turns out for the best :-) Chet ( Cquad7 ) http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/5815 -- homepageLana Baugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Over the past several months Gabe, my son has been having BP increasing in the afternoon when he is in an upright position. We treat it as autonomic dysreflexia and the Bp goes down when he lies down. Gabes BP wont go up until later in the day if his chair is tilted. It goes up to 90-100 diastolic and returns to 70s when he lies down. It will continue to climb if he does not lie down. He has had his kidneys checked and he has two very small stones and the dr thinks that they are not causing the problem. He has had a head CT ( he also has hydrocephalus) and the neurosurgeon say it looks better then ever. Soo.. they did an abdominal scan and he has a gall stone in bad position. Could be causing problems. Have any of you dealt with gall stones Lana, Gabes mom 10 years post Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page
Re: [QUAD-L] Caths!
Hello Silas, How are you doing? In responce to this Cathing every four hours or wearing a indewling catheter. Two years after my accident I had what the Doctor calls a "Sphincteronomy", it where they cut the Sphincter Muscle that controls when you pee. Well when you could know in your mind it was time to go, your mind would tell the Sphincter Muscle let it go. This is geting a little to juicy to keep explaining it. "LOL" You need to see a Urologis in order to have the operation. After you have the operation, you can then wear a external catheter called a "Texas Catheter" and use a leg bag drainage system during the day, and night drainage system while in bed. It gives you more freedom so, the catheters after the operation will be called "Freedom Catheters". I use it and theres no need to find a bush again big enough to go pee.

For 3years I have been straight cathed every 4hr's, just lately ive started reflexing. Stay wet at night and somtimes of the day, so I had my sister put in a indewling last tuesday. The Dr wrote a order for the new caths but didn't tell me much about them, except change monthly. I read all your post about Infections and flushing with this and that, any input will be greatly appreciated. Not having the aggravation of being cathed every 4hrs is great, but don't won't to keep a uti all the time. Thanks Silas P.S.

[QUAD-L] i'm so depressed i could throw up
No offence to any people who reads this, it's my nickle worth of words. I really don't know who it isherehas this depression enough to make them want to throw up. I have read many posts about what people think about what can happen if this problem persists for the person. There isn't anyway for someone else to fix this but the person feeling that away. Many times I have felt like driving my wheechair out to the Canal and taking the plunge but, how many besides myself would feel sorry for me. I would hurt my Mother more after she hasgave up most of her Life to take care of me. She was 70 years old when I was 30 and 1/2 years old when I become a Quad. Depression is in all sitting or walking people that runs into a problem they think it can't be fixed or rather are confused on how can I get it fixed? Talking to others has always been a help to me and even though I ain't a Church going person, I will Hope and Prayto that person whom has this notion of throwing up because of being depressed, that that feelinggoes away real soon.

[QUAD-L] This Say's it All
This Say's it All A Woman and a Fork There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her Things "in order," she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. "There's one more thing," she said excitedly. "What's that?" came the Pastor's reply. This is very important," the young wo! man continued. "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand." The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. That surprises you, doesn't it?" the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request," said the Pastor. The young woman explained. "My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...li! ke velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!' So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder "What's with the fork?" Then I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork the best is yet to come." The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, "What's with the fork?" And over and over he smiled. During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is y! et to come. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them, even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to "Keep their fork." Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share ... being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you. And keep your fork__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[QUAD-L] Leg Bag
Hello Joan, I to would like to see how it works and looks like if you dont mind. Thank You, Chet ( Cquad7 ) Regarding the Velcro straps on the back of the leg rest, my daughter designed an awesome bag that acts as a leg support, and also conceals my leg bag when I am wearing shorts. It makes my leg bag so discreet that even OT's and PT's do not realize I am wearing a leg bag. My leg rest, and foot rests, are not swing away, but instead are modeled after the sport wheelchair leg rests. However, the fabric bag just Velcro's on, so it would be relatively easy to just unVelcro it to swing the legrest away.Joan Yahoo! Mail for Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

[QUAD-L] Medicaid's new program regarding W/C ~ NOT good at all
Hello Bobbie, To bad you couldn't come to California for around Six Months. They are like that here about replacing wheelchairs like New Jersey is. How baddoes your chair look and what is needed for it to be nice again? If you could get a estimate on what it would take to make it good for you and present it to Medicaid, it's a possibilty they may change there tune and purchase you another chair. If they refuse replacement, they ought to concider atleast making it reliable for you. I don't know your level of Injury. Chet ( Cquad7 ) C-6 C-7 In a message dated 7/8/2005 3:33:44 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: OK, here's the story.I went to my seating guy about possibly ordering a new power chair. He told me about a new (6 months old) recycling program for Medicaid recipients. I can order a brand new power chair BUT they will send me what they have in their storage instead. For instance: I could say I want a 2005Invacare Action and they will pull out of their warehouse an Invacare Action and give it to me as my "new" chair regardless of what year it was made! I can refuse it but the process is VERY long and dragged out with no garentee's. AND once you accept the new or newer chair, they come and take your old chair to be recycled. So now you don't have a back up. My seating guy told me of a long time power w/c user that order a chair and Medicaid sent her a 10 year old power chair! They can't even fix it if something goes wrong with it because it's so old! My seating guy suggested since my other chair is 12 years old that I should upgrade my "new" 5 year old chair including adding on a tilt. So, that's the story in New Jersey's Medicaid wheelchair recycling program. Bobbie Discover Yahoo! Use Yahoo! to plan a weekend, have fun online & more. Check it out!
