Hello to EVERYONE on here! I'm Chuck, I live on the coast in Virginia, T10 incomplete para due to car accident. I'm diving in here hoping to meet other para guys like me, any braced or devo guys too. I am outgoing, open minded, love people, enjoy going out or staying home with the right person, hittin the gym afta a long day,bar hoppin, local music or big concerts rangin from Tchaikovsky, Phish, Blues, to Sugarland, campin, fishin, weekend or 4 day road trips, football and basketball games, and just about anything that flies in the face of convention or stereotype! I hope you readers can tell, I go out of my way to make sure the wc doesn't define me or limit my options! On the other hand, I am very comfortable with who I am and grateful for the mobility options that the chair provides! I also have a Quickie Shark handcycle that I use for distance and for fun. OK enough about me for now-- feel free ask me anything. Depending on the context of the question I will either answer it to your understanding, or not. Most of is know by now, sometimes intrusive questions are asked for the wrong reasons and those I merely disregard. I think its important to note that even though I don't need help from anyone, I have learned that some guys really like to offer a helping hand and under those circumstances, I can relax and enjoy it too! So let me stop before I keep rambling on needlessly, best to all! Chuck

Hey Looknohands: Thanks for ur reply...as Chandler would have said on the old Friends tv show: COULD we be any further apart than coastal VA and Washington state?!?! Can't read ur inflection in ur reply, about, "lucky enough to be a double amputee", so I'm not sire how u meant it, but I can only imagine that makes life , "interesting"
Considering your para status as well because I know I'm using my hands constantly! Hey I checked out a couple of your replies to other people and as I guessed from your, "I could use a hand" initial reply to me,, you have a great sense of humor with everybody!

Yes, that is quite a ways... I've always challenged myself, and insisted on an interesting life...living with a disability definitely added some challenges and made things more interesting..not always more enjoyable...but as a whole, life is great(I'm a 'big-picture) guy. My humor is a little off-kilter...but it always has been... the SCI and amputations definitely gave me some new material to work with...

Hey Looknohands, your humor is right up my alley man! I do pretty much the same thing, especially when I want to make somebody relax around me...Hey thanks for the chatter on here, hope I'm not wearing out my welcome with u out there! What is the deal with other people awarding of points following a response like:+1, +10 and now with BA's +1,000?  Thanx! |

+1 just means that you agree with what someone said.

By way of explanation, let me just say this: I will likely give looknohands a +1 on just about everything he says because:
A) He's hot. I mean c'mon the dude is hella smokin'.
B) You know that song "I want a man with a slow hand", right? Well he's a man with a no hand and that's even slower than a slow hand. Plust he's got a second one in case one is not enough. You can't beat that, hands down. He's a hell of a guy and I will consistenly +1 or +1,000 on every one of his posts.

BA, with respect to your assessment of Looknohands, I would hold off getting too exited about him I bet its all strategic lighting and mirrors! We've seen more of him than just his avatar. You can trust our taste - he is the category any purebloded female would call hot. ;D Welcome to the board by the way.  |

Thanx!
