    I'm sorry to hear about that. Just keep moving. Hopefully you're eligible for physical therapy. I have a friend who was in an accident 2 years ago and all they offered him was a wheelchair and narcotic pain drugs. He's still in the chair but opted for PT. He's off the pain meds and little by little becoming less reliant on the wheelchair.

    What kind of advice do YOU have for the young people today?

    1. Learn to live on 15 - 20 % of your take home, put the rest a side
    2. Relationship: Have fun, don't make babies in the process
    3. Limit your Social Exposure and monitor who you post it to

    With regard to relationships, find someone whose body odor suits your palate
    There is this thing caller, "Pheromones". Everyone has/had them, it's the chemicals produced by the body to attract the opposite sex in animals They have also reproduced it and it is marketed on Amazon; it works on a sub-conscience level.

    Beware of relationship that evolve from casual church contacts

    Get ready for the innate push-back if it is a Bi-Racial / non-compatible-religious relational thing

    Times and places change but human beings are still human beings.

    Read all labels carefully.
    I think that one could apply to everyone.

    Read the signs on the road and pay attention to what they are trying to tell you.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    When someone asks you to pull their finger, don't.

    Live fast, die young and leave a nice-looking corpse.

    (Alas, too late for that for most of us Islanders. I suspect that a ham radio forum is not the best place for promoting advice to youngsters)
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I suppose it's better than getting it from their drunk uncle at Thanksgiving.

    Yeah, but I was just thinking about the average age of amateur radio operators. They tend to skew towards the older demographic range.

    Live fast, die well, and leave me your gear in your will.
