I took her out yesterday to get a new walker. This one she can turn around and sit down if she gets too tired. It was funny watching her “test drive” several different types. They all look the same to me, except two had bigger baskets hanging on the front, and two had smaller baskets on the front, and one had a basket under the seat. And after all the testing, she chose the cheapest (oops, sorry. The least expensive) walker. She chose that one because the seat was a little higher. When she sat in it her feet didn’t touch the floor. She knows that if she is with someone and she gets tired, she can sit on the seat and have someone push her, like it was a wheelchair. Actually, that’s why we decided to get her this type walker. But you will have to be looking her in the face while you push her, and if I am the one doing it, I will be looking for the down stairs.<BR/><BR/>pamela, you are more than welcome to come and visit – for a week or so. But a month and a half? Believe me! You don’t like me that much.<BR/><BR/>lorelai, seven kids. Wow! If ma-in-law doesn’t come to live with you, I can’t imagine how quiet your house will be. You might even start over again with more kids.<BR/><BR/>weg, you might want to invest in yogurt stock, too.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601474604616163167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-66467224865144301972007-11-15T10:14:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:14:00.000-05:00I have stitches in my side...quick, take stock in ...I have stitches in my side...quick, take stock in Charmin and Ben and Jerry's!whatevergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645824780807393590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31409757.post-74325023316732235242007-11-15T08:45:00.000-05:002007-11-15T08:45:00.000-05:00Oh...I'm so so sorry!

We gave her an old computer a few months ago so that she could email us. But I have been appointed the opportunity to teach her how to do it. <BR/><BR/>I actually like Dot, too. And there isn’t anything to leave to anyone in her will. Just enough to plant her.<BR/><BR/>If you need any pills let me know. I can get you a bunch here. She would never miss them.<BR/><BR/>olly, I could live with two or three days.<BR/><BR/>cindydiane, hell yes I am serious. She’s been to the bathroom a dozen times since she arrived. How can that much shit come out of one person? I’m envious. I could loose 20 or 30 pounds if I went as often as she does.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, she told Sweet Tea, “I hate to tell you, but you are out of toilet paper in here.” I looked at Sweet Tea and told her to go on-line and apply for an FHA loan to help pay for the ice-cream and toilet paper we will need this next month.
