Great thread Obie ..
This past year has shown me just how tenuous our grip on life is, and I'm looking for a much better 2016!
I suffer osteoarthritis in most joints, and my neck is probably the worst of it. So, contorting my head into some positions is out of the question. The base of my thumbs is bad also, along with two broken shoulders. Both elbows broken also, but oddly enough, as ugly as they look on X-rays, they don't bother me ...
So, I consider myself lucky!
