Jajses, thanks for commenting and for the kind words. I'll take care of the stuff you mention. 

As for limitations, I'm thankful to say the only big difference is, do I do things standing up or sitting down? Well, that, and high cabinets are annoying. But overall the good Lord has given me quite high functionality, which I really am grateful for. Anyway, all's good. My life is good. I really can't complain. What matters on this forum primarily is my beard development, and I mention having been born with a disability because it is, for better or worse, a part of me - not a defining part, not even a very important part, but a part all the same. Lest anyone take it the wrong way, I'm not looking to be pitied, cause quite frankly, I don't want or need to be pitied. It's life. It is what it is; it could be better, and it could be worse. And I've found the best way to treat someone with a disability that's physical in nature is to just make sure you treat him on the same plain - including the good, the bad, and the ugly - you'd treat everyone else on, unless circumstances truly warrant it (I won't be jogging two miles for you, for example. lol). I don't want special treatment, I don't want special attention, and I don't want to feel talked down to. I just want to live, normally, like anybody, and help others to do the same thing.
