Re: Rec'd Free AA Tix!!

Are you going to Houston to get surgery? If so please let me know. I am sending Dr. Nath a videotape of my arm movements tomorrow. I am curious about anyone who has had the surgery and the success or non success of it. I'd appreciate any information!!
Thanks and good luck

Re: Sunscreen on BPI arm reminder.

I have never heard of this before. Is there any explanation as to why it burns faster than the other arm? If anyone knows please let me know. I've had this for 31 years and am new to the boards. Thanks
