i cant believe it

[ironside]

Ok so its no biggie but
a couple years ago i applied for a 3com tee shirt,it was some kind of give away and i thought what the heck whats it going to hurt.
well i kind of forgot it and went on,so i guess you can guess what was in my mailbox today,that right a aol disk


Na im joking, sure it was a white 3com tee shirt,no pocket but still not a bad shirt,my wife has already laided claim on it saying since it dont have a pocket i wont wear it.
well since its not black i probably wont wear it.
I still cant believe i got something free that I sent for.

Is there anything any of you sent away for free and got it?

I won a free CD of Elton John's tribute to Princess Di.. the one that was selling for 40 bucks in the stores.. by entering a contest in THE STAR magazine. I had forgotten about it also, until about 2 months later when the CD arrived.. Needless to say I was tickled pink. ;D

That sounds so cool Ironside, but why do you wear black all the time? Since moving over to the US and what with how hot it gets in the summer, I soon learnt that wearing white tee-shirts during the summer, was much cooler than wearing black shirts, of which I always used to wear.
As for freebies, I like a Progressive rock group named Lands End. They aren't too famous in the music world, but anyway, I ordered one of their CD's. It arrived but sounded terrible! I E-mailed to them telling 'em how upset I was about it, they aplogised and sent me another copy, and added to the package another CD of theirs (of which I was going to buy anyway), and a couple of "live" tapes they had put together!!
Now that is what I call good business!!!

I just really always liked being in black or really dark clothes,even in the middle of summer im still wearing tee shirts and sweats,I never like shorts dont have the legs for it, and now my one leg is really nasty looking, I would never go out in shorts.
in my younger days I always wore jeans and high boots, not the pointed toes ones the flat ones,I still have a pair of them but can no longer wear them one foot is about a size 9 and the other is about a 10 1/2,whats really funny is i used to wear a size 12 shoes,your feet shrink with out use in them.
so my only pair of shoes is a pair of tennis shoes with valcro.

Well Irons, I was just the same as you with regards to wearing dark clothing, I always thought it looked so much better than light clothing. But now, during summer I keep to whites simply because that colour tends to reflect the heat, rather than absorb it. Other than that, you'd see me in dark t-shirts etc.!!
Can I ask what maybe a personal question (maybe many others have asked this already), what has made you have to live your life in a wheelchair?

[ironside]

no problem dave
first thing that happened to me was, at work i bent down wrong and i did something to my back,then a few years later i had a virus go through me and it took both of my legs,they just wouldnt work any more,i got one of them back but not the other so i been in a chair for the last 13 years.
but the biggie just happened a couple years ago, my lungs went bad now i cant do a whole lot of stuff but i still can type.
my killer is emphyzma and asthma, i dont take oxygen now, but thats to come, both are really bad,but together there deadly.

I was entered in to a contest at ePeople and I have won a runner up prize. It's some Adobe software and a tee shirt and a hat. I had no idea I was entered in the contest.
