Do you use a catalog to buy things to aide in everyday life?
 

I went to The Container Store yesterday and found lots of awesome things that could help prevent pain and otherwise help life go smoothly. (Something that opens soda and tuna cans, a book clip thing, and a bottle opener...)
It got me wondering: do you guys get items like this from a catalog? It seems that there should be one out there. I'll do some homework, but if you already know of something- let us know :D Thanks!!

always wanted...
 

Hi thursday,

I always wanted to buy the glasses you can wear so that you can read when you are lying flat and the book is in your hands at 90deg...NO neck flection but then you would have to hold the book up....lol....
let us know of the good things you come across or the link for the catalog you are checkig out!

take care love and hugs,
Victoria:hug:

Here's one catalog I got fr PT - though I haven't used it yet - called "functional solutions" that lists it's website BeAbleToDo.com
I have ordered fr SitInComfort.com and like them a lot

I just ordered a bunch. One I know for sure was from the one Fern mentioned at BeAbleToDo.com Beyond that, I can't retrace my steps unfortunately, so I can't tell yall which ones I actually ordered :? Sooooo, as soon as I get them in I'll report back 8)

Yay! Got my first batch :) both are from Ali Med they are easier living and office ergonomics. On the ergobilities website when u request a catalog they ask u for your company name and other info- (i guess they usually get therapists or corporations requesting this..) I just said "Private Use" or "Disabled Caretaker". Just make it up! They'll send u it still :D I don't remember exactly how I got both to come to me because I only filled out the request for ergobilities I think. MAybe I listed that I was interested in receiving an adaptive daily living catalog too.

more in the mail to come.....


Found it Victoria!! Your glasses are online here & also in the catalogs I got!! Go get em' girl!! Or at least use the info to search out the best price online!!! :cool:

I tried a bunch of stuff, what I use most is
jar pop- jar opener
fiskers powergear pruners
immersion blender
kitchen aid food processor
book clips
marmot lumbar pack (backpack that doesn't use shoudler straps)
furi tech edge proknife sharping system (sharp knife hurt less to use)
rocker knife
toaster oven (easier than opening a oven door to bake)
laundry hamper with three bins so I can sort clothes by wash temperature as I put them in rather than sorting on laundry day.
dollar store purse (very light because it's so cheaply made)
ipod
pocket file folders for receipts so they don't get lost
thick gel tip pens
