Congrats! Was it good?

Silver Feathers...that's always appreciated...the doors, being asked if help is needed. Thank you.
I'm still getting used to the idea that it's okay to ride the motorized carts when I'm at Home Depot or Wal-Mart or to ask for or accept help when others offer.

Cockatrice6420....how many have you caught, yet?

Yep. Riding those motorized carts... It's a bit to get used to, but... when your friends say "Of COURSE YOU should be riding that!!" it's a pretty big clue that it's OK.

We've killed 6 or 7 now. We didn't realize how good our cats were to us. We loved them and saw some of their handy work, but they sure kept themselves busy.

My daughter always "loves" it when she steps out in the morning to discover that her cats have left her a present on the door mat.

Yes. Go HAWKS!
Go very verrrryyy far away from my chicks.

I think I have an extra aracauna cockerel, anyone interested? He is blue with some leakage.

A true rumpless aracauna ???? Lineage please ?? His pedigree : ?
What is he bred from ?
They are awesome birds !

Well, ski poles look very similar. But aren't designed for the purpose that trekking poles are. So... yeah... I'll stick with my trekking poles.


Yeah. I've been using those motorized carts at stores. On one level it's fun. On another level, I feel I need to keep my sticks visible so as to head off any judgments from others. And I can confirm your husband's experience. People walk right in front of that cart. I've nearly hit people many times. It's only a matter of time before I do.


It's not always rudeness. Sometimes it's a weird sort of pity/patronizing type thing. That's just as annoying. And super-uber-creepy when it's an apparently single guy who thinks he's going to score points by being nice to the disabled chick.... That's happened twice now. Shudder...

And then, of course, if for some reason I don't have my sticks, I just look drunk. That brings with it a whole other set of offensive assumptions. And it's a big reason I began using a cane a couple years ago. (Which is what I fell on and screwed up my shoulder and now I use the trekking poles... )

KICK *** GIRL FRIEND !
No one should humiliate any other human, especially in this country, if they do, maybe they need to be exported to Syria (for example) for a wee bit, just to remind them how SMALL they themselves are.

 

[Chickielady]

Thats why I always ask if the person would like help. I'm not trying to be patronizing and asking seems to be best. I was brought up to always help anyone that needs it no matter if it's disability, full arms, or whatever. I always hold doors open for the people behind me.

You, my friend, are a sweet heart !

If only there were more people just like you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He he he... I'm trapping rats

KICK BUTT !
