My son Justin just showed me this You Tube video

Poor guy....I did'nt listen to the audio. Obviously that is some awful type of medical problem... like elephantiasis or something. *scratches head and flees from this thread.....*

That is so awful, and I hope this man can be helped. How tragic.

HL - they are warts! He cut himself or something like that when he was a kid and all these warts and growths developed. I can hardly believe that can even happen to a human body.

I started this thread because Justin does find some really weird stuff on You Tube. There are funny and cute things too. Thought it might make for an interesting thread.

EEEEEK! My son finds all kinds of bizzare stuff. I love HL 's avi. My favorite Holiday movie!

I hope this news video stays up..............yes, our streets are icy!
EEEK! A video should play on the right side of the screen after a short ad!

Oh goodness!! Thank God everyone is off the buses!! That is some scary crap! At least Eric didn't have to drive down any hills last night!!

You can hardly go anywhere here and not encounter a hill............

Rob and I just got back from Woodman's getting most of the food we need for Xmas Eve and it is pretty dang slick out there! I cannot even imagine being on hills with icy roads But, hilly is oh so pretty! Being that I have lived my whole life in the flat lands of Illinois it is no wonder the two places in the USA I have been to that I love the most are Stowe, Vermont and Colorado Springs!

I find this video interesting, heart warming and it packs a very strong message...................

I haven't watched it all yet. It is rather sad to watch him. With no legs I think of my Dad. Too hard for me. I am sure he is very inspirational and I will try to watch it all one day soon. I give him all the credit in the world for not letting his disabilities stop him. How wonderful for the kids to get to experience him though!

I'm sorry FC, maybe I shouldn't have posted it.................

No no no!! It is great that you posted it! Just when I saw that guy I thought of all the struggles and hardships one faces with no legs. But I really do want to sit down and watch it all someday! I have a feeling he is just an amazing guy! I can't imagine how tough it all was for his family though - especially his mom It is so hard to see your children have to overcome difficult issues.

I am glad there is someone like this young man to inspire young people.

Trust me - I really cannot escape reminders like that - ER and Grey's have done story lines recently about double amputees. I know I cannot hide from those images.

This horrifies me I cannot believe they make games like this. It is just beyond disgusting.
