I'm so old I Remember when:

[kikiruru]

I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about, but one of my earliest memories is hearing about Watergate. On the news and I remember my parents talking about it.

What I remember about Watergate was we only had ABC, CBS, NBC and it was on all 3 at the same time

I remember when I could get down on the floor to perform some task like fixing a pipe or replace some tile or base board. Now IF, and that's a big if, before I get up I have to map out grab on tos and step ups. Under a truck, shimmy, slide and look for something to aid me back to standing. Recently was going to replace the running boards on the truck, I wimped, DW gave me an out, "CALL THE GUY". With very little protest I did.

Now the only way I will get down on the floor to play with my grandchildren is
--there has to be a sturdy chair or bed etc right there for me to climb up to get off the floor or
--someone who can pull me up off the floor

Faced this yesterday as I replaced cabinet doors that the Princess had refinished in the master bathroom. Managed to get down, fought the pain and got the job done. How to get up?
