I’ve had a past idea of starting a silly blog with entries featuring visual aids ranging from picture diagrams to videos focusing on suggested tips/ideas for simple, VERY casual (too many weirdoes out there) daily tasks being preformed. Sometimes getting a visual mass on a subject is much more informative then reading up on it and from there you can adapt your own method. Think Thread Banger, Video Jug, and of course, mighty You Tube with aaall its many guru channels.

It was inspired when I was in search for ideas on how to get my chair into my vehicle and luckily found a video of pretty much just that. It spawned searches of other demonstrations of the like, but anything further came up rather short, save a few creepy clips of tamed down fetish-y things.

Since then I remember a lady with basically the same goal and got to it before I did and has helped really branch it out. You should give her a look if you haven’t already encountered the awesome-ness! Mine would be geared towards more girly hoobalah since it seems to be overlooked in adapted “how-to” visual aids and would be the easiest topic to cover completely solo (that is, sans a ‘camera man’).

Yea or nay: would you find such truly useful or should I even bother? If yea, would anyone else like to be a part of this? I’d love idea contributions from different minds from all over with a wide array of injury levels so that whoever may visit can see different methods and customize it from there.

I could be wrong but I THINK that is our very own rue2you. :hug:

The idea however is a very good one. :specool:

I guess I really did take for granted the asset of having your own in-house OT (my Mom IS an OT). :seehearspeak:

Although it's already been done, do you use the same technique? Why couldn't you still do your own video. :D

Jenni, yes that is me! Thank you for your sweet comments. If you will make your videos and post them to Youtube, then I will preview them and will be glad to post them on my website! That was my whole idea also to get different levels to do different videos so that whoever views can find all kinds of different levels performing many of the same things.

I also felt there was a need because MOST Youtube "how-to" videos are of the guys and not a women - especially pudgy mommies and wives...aka - me!!:)

So, please get those cameras rolling, load it to Youtube and let me know and I will gladly add it - that is if you want to.
