You blow the balloon up. Not to me. Not too tight. So you take the needle you're pointed to it truly then you take some tape to put it on opposite sides of the balloon. Do you want to be sure a smooth flow. Do you take me on this.
I hope. Yeah. Sam. Knight. And that man. I. Do place a loose
expression. It took just fine like it did to me but. I didn't. Get to do that. Thank you. I mean yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh I get it. It's. Something
I am. A little. Bit. Oh yeah. Oh I thought it was no longer listening and I got it right. I got to get I'm getting it. Yeah well I don't. Know I Don't. Know. That. It's better that you know that I am. This is a goodie sent in by Winston-Salem North Carolina. What you do is you take some mayonnaise and you take some banana. Put him between two pieces of bread. Now you have a banana sandwich. What kind of sandwich would you make if you can make any kind of sandwich you want. We tried it and this is what happened.
That just didn't ever. Are you kidding me. Cream cheese. Yes I'm going to my. Doctor. I love pickles for mustard you. Know. Sidelines of my time. Thank you. I learned it time for
me to share a little. Oh I like. The first part. But I'm. Really surprised everybody. This would be me. True but. I.
Just tossed. The balloon story by Mike in the second. There you go I was walking to the local balloon still there. Let me see the blue. Oh OK. Too pointy too low are. I did a microscope to see this worm. What do you warnings all take this work. Ok come back here. For a day. We will know.
The end. Sam assume is movies and videotapes made by you. You really like what we see you are seeing the resume and want to see you. If you class have a film you may send it to zoom down to me that. I know. Not. That. I don't forget your sizzix so we can send it back when we've all seen it. A couple years ago on my birthday weekend I was out walking with a friend and my leg claps me. And then I guess it was about oh week later they did a biopsy
and for 5 days after that they came and told me that I had to have my leg amputated. What I had was a cancerous tumor it was spreading and there were cancer cells all around that area and if my leg had been left on it would have killed me within a year. I never went through a period of feeling angry but I even now I can you know just be going along and suddenly I think about it and sometimes you know I really don't believe that it's me who has my leg amputated. Right. It's hard. Because I. Never get my right place with about eight days after my operation they got me up on crutches and then two days later they started me walking. I loved. The idea of physical therapy to get you out walking and doing things and they like to perfect your walk.
But you know they don't insist upon it what they really want to do is make you independent. Right. All right. Back there. One of the things really seem strange to me now is I can't remember how I used to walk. I just can't think what it would be like to walk with two legs and not have to worry about you know where you put your foot and you know my arching my back too much or you know I getting my timing right to take a step. When I get out of the hospital I wanted to go back to school I wanted to do things I didn't want to sit around the house and do nothing it took a while for me to commit convince my mother to let me go back to school ever sort of as I'm over protective. They don't think so but I do. My friends at school when I first got back they were sort of cautious. They didn't
know how to treat me or anything like that. Mrs. Townly. Enough mushrooms. But after a while they got used to me treating pretty. High I just got carried away. I went to a party once and some kid came up imitating the way I walked very exaggerating he said. They sort of walk in like that. Do you always walk like that and I know a half ago when I had my real leg I didn't. But now that I wear an artificial one I do it just sort of dropped his jaw. So as you can. Right. I know people are going to completely ignore the fact that I'm in a peachy because there are a lot of things that I do different yet I don't want them to make a fuss over it. Right now. I mean. I know. Do you. Think. It's important if you have a friend
that you have a movement. When I post I think it needs a little bit of movement. It's only a tiny bit but it's enough. And that's just going to be the good working homestead. OK. I had my leg amputated I wanted to get back up and try it again. You can feel that you're up high and you're up there and out enjoying it like. You just nothing and nothing to hold you back. Nothing to inhibit you. I want you remember to keep an event.
Of the ways in front of you before you don't look down at the ground sportsman's says she was really I mean it's a lot of fun and it really helps to know other people who have the same problem as you. It also helps to you know make yourself push and get to be as good as everybody else's. One of this a lot of the skaters in the NBA just they are really fantastic and that's one of the things I keep saying to my parents I want to be as good as them they said Diana you might not be as athletic you might not be able to say yes I can do. Keep your weight on the outrigger. Put too much weight on the market. If you start coming off those outbreaks and picking them up off the ground. When you want when you need them. You can place down the ground are going to be all cock eyed or going to walk in a different direction. You just lose your balance and fall. Don't want to keep them firmly planted on the ground. And some weight on. That's only where you going to be on the ground. Oh I know I never will never be as a tap dancer famous ballet dancer whatever.
And I know I'm never going to be a speed runner but things like that don't really bother me because I can do all the basic things just everybody else does. I met this person who was talking about. How it might be that he would have to have his leg amputated when he was a very athletic person me said Well I don't know if I go through with that I think I might just let myself die because you know I just don't see any point to living. But with me it's very different I look forward to what I'm going to do and what I'm going to be and I really look forward to life. It's very important to me I appreciate it. It. It. It never works. Do I want you as he says I'm

What you do is. Stick. On one side of your wooden school. And. Then you stick your rubber band through. You wouldn't school. You might want to use a paper clip to make it easy to get wrong.
