I've heard of floating shelves but not floating closets

I renewed my California ID card today. It took only ten minutes. They said my ID would arrive in the mail in two weeks :)

OH NO, its true, Wolfie is a real person as least that's what it will say, I understand it will be in GREY for senior citizen status.

Glad you got it, now you can vote and discounts at the super market and other fine places that give OLD GUYS a break.

Ouch, feels like a truck ran over my hip. All I did was walk four blocks total to the pharmacy and the grocery. It must be one of the joys of getting old.

Get A cane (make sure it is the right size). It makes a huge difference. --FLO--

Yeah, I am younger than you and I use a cane at times. Not all the time, but every once in a while I need to use one.

My landlord said he'll try to make the fence more secure.

Talk to the police about it? :/

I'm 6' 2" tall - would a 36 inch cane be the right size?

Height of bent arm hanging at side to ground. There are many adjustable canes available for about $25.00

My dad brandished one for many years, and got excellent results.

Done right, a cane contributes greatly to a sense of style; thought should also go to the right hat to complement.

-and it does help with the walking too!

Not the hat, the cane. I've screwed up the English grammar, I think. Again. :(

Reminds me of another association catastrophe:

Caesar entered on his head

his helmet on his foot

a sandal in his hand he had

his trusty sword to boot.

Or with commas:

Caesar entered, on his head his helmet, on his foot a sandal, in his hand he had his trusty sword, to boot.

Mr. Wolf, search for "what is the proper height for a cane". There is a lot of information available. Also, if you see a physical therapist they can help you choose and use a cane. --FLO--

A store that sells canes and other home care products will have trained people to fit you with a cane and instruct you on how to use it. Let the folks who work their train and fit you. Do not just pick one and go to the cashier they will assume you know what you are doing.

Pick a cane that suits your personality. May I suggest something gray and knotty? I have several canes, an adjustable metal one for everyday, an oak one with my name and a picture of the Delta Queen burned onto it, a home made one carved like a dragon, and one made from a bull penis. --FLO--

My luck I would be walking with a cane made from a bull's penis and I would fall over when it lost interest.

Since my psiatic nerve pain is "still" with me in my right leg, I made a decision today to lessen my walking.

I ordered my groceries online today and they will be delivered tomorrow afternoon :)

Please do not reduce your activity too much. Sadly reduced activity creates problems of it's own. One of the first problem with reduced movement is constipation. I was trained to administer 3 H enemas. High, hot and hell of a lot. Keep moving.

My nerve and circulation problems have always worsened when I stop being active. In particular I feel it more when I do not walk. KEEP MOVING!! --FLO--

I still walk to get a burger 2-3 times a week and to just get a few grocery items, I'll bus down to my old barrio grocery which takes two blocks of walking each way.

I left chat early tonight due to indigestion. I went to lie down and the pain got worse. I walked over to the ER. THey gave me two pain shots, an Rx for Norcos and said I had a gall stone causing problems.

The pain today is as bad as ever. I'm going to mosey over to the ER if I have the strength.
