I liked Norma's avatar I did one of my actual x-ray I got done last Thursday....

Know I never went to the doc ...

This maybe of interest to those on the board...

Dunno who got the worst of it on that deal. That slidey N Face of Baldy is steep. The first time I looked at the Daw...

Without question it is hands down the best! IMO

I also reduces glare and the need for sunscreen

This is my TR and account of how I broke my hand
