Sorry Kat...   I knew you had something to do with your company's
database.  I just wasn't sure what.

Er, I'm a database programmer, not a data entry person. :-)  A big
difference.  In any case, I'm almost 50 and am in a wheelchair, although
I walked for many years without braces, even though I wore braces until
I was 13.  After the braces came off and before I was on crutches, I did
it all - hiking, camping, volleyball, racquetball, tennis, football
(soccer), you name it.  Wore my joints out in the process and that's why
I'm in a wheelchair.

I live in NC, where I'm at a friend's house at the moment, waiting for
the power to come back on at my flat.  I've been without power for 2 1/2
days now.  It may be Monday before Duke Power can get it back on. Ugh.

> Hi Murali,
If you don't mind my asking, what do you want to know?  We are a diverse
group.  Bobby here is a professor.  Kyle and Kenneth work for the
government. Kat is a data entry person, and I work for the state of
Virginia on a voluntary basis.  We've seen and felt it all.   I have
never walked without braces and crutches, but some of us walked and are
still doing it.  I use a powerchair now to get around.  It comes in
handy when all you have is the chair for transportation.
