What's the one thing...?
I'm trying to help us help each other by gathering here a list of the one items or more...
we use that help us cope in an otherwise two-handed world.
Please?

This is a toothpaste dispenser that is so easy to set up and to use.
I think even kids will love to use it.

This salt and pepper shaker makes grinding pepper so much easier! I think I got mine from The Pampered Chef, but I can't find it on their website and this looks like the same thing:

Also, I'd really like to get this at some point:

(that's two things - oops!)

This is the closest thing I can find to what I got:
http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Houseware ... 07&sr=1-99
I got mine at IKEA - it's a plastic storage container with a rubber edge on the bottom, and a cheese grater that fits on the lid, so I can grate cheese one handed
)
There's always the Heath-Robinson conversions I've done on my bicycles, motorcycles and ultralights, but that's another story)

Re: What's the one thing...?
I have one of these
https://www.onetouchopener.com/ver5/ind ... de=Opener5
The only hard part is putting in/taking out batteries as it is hard to open it to do so. BUT it works well!!

Re: What's the one thing...?
c'mon folks. People really need the benefit of our experiences. I bet they will be genuinely grateful for our sharing the little things.
Don't be shy and don't be stingy for God's sake.
How do you 'bump' and what does it actually do?

You "bump" a message just by posting a new post on it or writing "bump" to make it go to the top.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.
