Lady, you better be careful if you have a flat screen tv...

I used to drop things when I worked as a server...syrup bottles (glass), all sorts of stuff.
I don't drop things as much now.

Hope you get stickier fingers soon, Kel...

Sorry, Kelly . I'm still the mourning the death of my favorite coffee mug . Yesterday, I "dropped" my face right into to the door jam ! Another day, another black eye .

Joelle! Be careful!!

I run into door jams all the time....usually with my right arm. I have the bruises to prove it, too. I hate it when I drop something breakable. I've gotten to where I use plastic cups just to avoid the inevitable.

Buy a hand gripper and squeeze it every other night till you fall asleep with it in your hand. I broke my first one after 65,000 reps. About 1 1/2 yrs it took. Works. Wrap it with foam and tape to help protect what nerves you have left. I went from squeezing 45lbs on whatever that hand held measuring device is to 90!

I've tried something similar. I had a "stress ball" at work that I brought home when I cleaned out my desk. I use it sometimes but it seems to make my hand weaker. After I work out with the stress ball I can barely hold anything in that hand for a good while. It actually feels like when you've held onto a weed eater for a long time and your hand and arm is literally useless for a little while after.

True, Kell, but it's probably building up your grip muscles, also??
