Re: anyone need a bar?

[Guest guest]

Pamela,

It sounds like there's a parent of a child located in India who could use

that adjustable bar. That's actually kind of close to you lol! It was

just posted about this morning I think.

Do you think you could do me a favor before you ship that extender bar out

to whoever needs it? I would love to have a picture of it, and perhaps

also one of it attached to the adjustable bar for the tips document. I've

never seen one and I'm sure I'll need one someday but it would be a great

addition to the tips document as well as for the CFPics Photo Library. If

you can't, no biggie. Maybe whoever you send it to can take one and send

it to me :~}

I'm thrilled to hear Dino's feet are so happy, and I hope to get the Darbs

on a snowboard sometime next season... if we ever get enough snow that is

(bad year for snow here). Thanks for the update!

Just had to say hi, Pamela, in case you see this.. I remember you and

Dinos from years ago. My daughter Claire is 4 1/2 now too, and also

doing well! Great to hear from you and know things are going fine!

Best wishes,

and Claire

Kori,

Unfortunately I got a request for both of our " extra " bars (I'm

saving Dinos' original DBB along with all of his casts and shoes for

him to see when he grows up, cause I'm crazy!) just before I saw the

message about the boy in India. I would have liked to help him out,

but unfortunately I have just the one extension bar. The woman who

asked for it said her 7-month-old son has already outgrown the one-

piece 9 " bar. Sounds like he's going to be huge. Why are they

giving people these one-piece bars? Anyway, I will try to get a

photo of it before I ship it out, altho' I don't have a digital cam

so will have to wait for the film to be developed and then try to

scan it into the computer. I'm not good at this file uploading

business, so maybe I will send the image to you and you can post it.

I did manage to upload today a text file of our DBB hints, I called

it DBB Hints #2 and put it in the files section of the site. I

realized I go on every few months and read a tragic message from a

parent whose child is having difficulty with the DBB, and I write out

and send them the same message about our experience, so finally I

just put together a good amount of our info and put it in the text

file. Hope it helps some folks out.

Nice to hear from you.

Take care,

Pamela
