I can't anwser for anyone but myself. It does help me a lot when I want to get down low to clean or wipe down the cabinets. I have also used it get down on stubborn spots on the floor my steam mop does not get. I have used it to kneel and clean the bath tubs and get up again. I just think of it as another handy tool.

Were you referring to the kneeler with the handle frame, in this post of yours, or to the knee pads, or something else?
@Blessed ?:)
 

Packing for a trip to North Carolina. Mountains, here I come! Of course, in my usual manner, I've packed for a six-week safari. I have no idea why I can't pack lightly, but I've just come to terms with it.

I'm OK if I absolutely KNOW I have to fit everything into a small suitcase and a carry-on, like when I travel internationally, but if it's a car trip.....the bets are off. Maybe I'll need this, what if I need that, I might want to wear this, it might be cool enough to wear that.....and so on.

Anyway, I and the wagon train are leaving tomorrow to visit my sister there for a few days. The Spousal Equivalent is riding his Harley up on Tuesday and we're meeting up with his riding club for a few days in the mountains.

I had one of these at my last house in NY. Didn’t think I would use it much, so I left it there when I sold the house. Now I wish I had it back. Considering buying another one. Need that support getting off the commode.

I got one of those when I got my knee replacements, but not the one with the riser, since I’m only 5’. Just attaches to the bowl at the back. Take your bowl lid off, put this on, then your lid back on.
 
I'm super frustrated by my foot capsulitis that is interfering with being an active tourist. I had been okay the past few days, while using the annoying pad from the doctor, at doing the treadmill and also with a one hour museum visit, so today I went into Boston.
All I did (in addition to walking at the train station) was walk (always using the foot pad) 15 minutes to the place to get a ride on an amphibious Duck Bus/Boat tour (which was awesome!) and then meandered a slightly longer way back along the Harbor Walk to get to the train station. But now this evening the foot is distinctly worse again (like trying to stand on a marble).
I'm not planning to go anywhere tomorrow, but Sunday I've got a paid reservation for a two hour sail boat ride. Luckily the departure is only about an 8 minute walk from the train station but I wouldn't be able to do even that much walk if the foot doesn't recover.
Hope I'm just catastrophizing but I'm so worried that the stupid foot will never get better and ruin my New York City adventure next month.
 
I usually refer to Janeen as the owner of the roller rink, actually, her Dad, John, owns it. Yesterday, John passed away at 96 (?) yrs old. Dio is going to run the rink on Sat afternoon, Sun morning, and Sun afternoon, so that Janeen can tend to making arrangement and have time to herself. It will be a sad weekend....John was a great guy! 💔

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Luv U all! Good night. 🌙
 
I have been buying either Cheesy Cauliflower Grits with Shrimp from Sprouts or Shrimp Paella from Snap Kitchen. I love them as snacks, mostly at night. I add more shrimp that I buy from Central Market.

We just had a new restaurant called Piada (Italian Street Food) open near us. We ate there on Wednesday. I had the Pasta Carbonara with chicken.

I was thinking what a shame it was that they didn't offer shrimp. So, today I bought herb grilled shrimp at Central Market, then picked up the Diavolo Pasta at Piada and mixed them together. I'm in heaven!

Then I had a 90-minute massage. First time in a couple of months. We went through power outages early in the week, so this was therapy. ;)

Sorry for the loss of John. He surely will be missed.
 
Busy weekend, in the UK a trailer is known as a caravan, I'm off to see a few. Not to buy, this company offer rental as well as sales. We rented a motor home for a trip to a festival recently, the motor home, although quite plush, had limited space, it was also very expensive to hire. Let's see how much rental this company charges.

Later this evening we are dining out at our friend's pub called The Drovers Inn.

Tomorrow we are off to Sugar Push with a group of friends. Later we shall dine out for the second time this weekend, at The Forage in the town of Lyndhurst.

What on earth is Sugar Push?
The sugar push is one of the basic moves of Lindy Hop and all swing dances. The lead and follow stay where they are for 6 counts. The sugar push is very stylized, bringing both partners close together and then returning them to where they started, just like in the swing out. This is often led with two arms.
So now you know.
 
Morning peeps!!! Since I'm feeling better this morning I will
probably do a few minor chores around here...no terrible
aches today, just minor stuff....getting ready to do biscuits
and sausage gravy for breakfast....
I have a 5gal bucket of "mulch" out back to tend to, that is
a bucket of papers/waterr/bleach....trying to rid the papers
of identifying info before putting them into trash for pickup...
will see how that goes.....have a great day all......:cool:
 
We left early to get to craft fair,, then had to wait in line til folks could file in, buy admission tickets.

I wore cargo short to carry driver's license in & some cash.
Thought carrying my camera in the crowd would mean bumping folks with it.

First craft person was one selling the plates made into lawn decorations.
Hard to describe,, the older leaded ? glass platter is background for a more colorful smaller plate .
The idea is to put them together so it looks like a flower.

O, darn I really needed the camera so I could take pictures of these bird houses!

An enameled coffee pot was sandwiched between thick wood boards.
One being cut for bird to enter into the coffee pot.

Guess the artist was trying for a campfire effect with small skillet under coffee pot?
Some bird houses had an old black lunch pail for the house or feeder.

I haven't looked on Etsy to see if some might be there.
 
Today I will attempt to do some of my desensitization therapy for the naughty invisible thumb as prescribed by the therapist .
I am not hopeful about them but will give some a tryout.

One I must tell you about...immersion therapy
Buy lots of dried beans, lentils, peas whatever, put in a large bowl and sift for 3-5 minutes but oh.... I should start first with cotton balls then dry rice, then unpopped corn..yes, yes, you read that last bit correctly.
Won't go into details about others.

Letting you know all this coz I am on the Bad Lady list for posting a supposedly political comment in other topic.
Deleted...and I did reply to it so I could get chucked out.kick but.gif

@Mizmo Um? The cotton balls, rice, beans, lentils, etc., have what to do with desensitization? Oh, well, who cares if it works. Right?

Gg.. I have no intention of buying all that to, quote " sift and send the different texture message to my brain"
My hand is indeed very sensitive to touching things but I think it would take about ten years to get to my brain:ROFLMAO:
