It's been a while since I consulted my blogs; I've been unwell . However, lately I have got more of my brains and lungs working pretty good. I only use the cane at night now --but will keep it in case I need to swoosh somebody. Will resume blogging soon as I recall how to spell stuff. ---Love, Geo.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-72042803008978255302022-08-20T21:19:59.658-07:002022-08-20T21:19:59.658-07:00Hello, Geo.; I hope all is well with you, Norma, E...Hello, Geo.; I hope all is well with you, Norma, E(a)rnest, and the felines. I'm not sure how I missed commenting on this post earlier. <br /><br />A cane is a pain but a fall is much worse (as Britta has already said). There are certainly advantages to using a cane, though. For instance, if someone is bothering you with unfunny jokes they think are hilarious, you can use it to swoosh them off the stage, just like in the cartoons. That's a power I wouldn't mind having :) jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-85239722717590383692022-07-08T22:54:28.969-07:002022-07-08T22:54:28.969-07:00Thanks Robyn.

As we are very good friends I could risk a NOT heartless-meant remark (she knows that I so much feel with her): "Stumbling down in public isn't more elegant" - she laughed, and that is said to be a good medicine...
