I loved your " splash " joke. I'm having a really rough day, and any humor is

welcome!

I'm glad has taken to the guitar so well. It seems to build his

confidence to have musical talent, particularly because it's the guitar.

After all, the guitar and drums are the two " coolest " instruments,

especially for teens. And at 13 you need all the confidence you can get.

It's a tough age, but he's a really good kid.

I've got Tai Chi and Yoga videos to help with the range of motion on my

really bad days. Matter of fact, right now would be a good time to pop one

in the VCR. The Tai Chi is more my speed when I hurt. The Yoga is really

for better days. I do feel good when I stretch.

Have a great day, and have a nice time going out with tonight.

Love and hugs,

Carol

Hi Carol,

Thanks. I still get to fiddle around with them which is nice. It's

actually not a bad way of exercising with RA because you certainly go

through many range of motion exercises.

The electric drums are real nice, but a bit on the expensive side.

Perfect if you live in an apartment, condo or townhome. I had to wait

until I bought a house to get my set. That's great that you are

sending to guitar lessons. Music is a wonderful thing.

That's a shame that the pool party was postponed but I understand. My

trunks will certainly make a " splash " . Oh, that was bad. LOL!

Have a great weekend.

Love and hugs,

Hi Carol....I saw the Tai Chi and Yoga videos for beginners in the store

yesterday, and almost bought one...I do stretches and range of motion as I

can...usually some before I crawl out of bed just to limber up....what tapes

do you recommend...I have tried to find a pool to go to for water exercise;

I tried one, and had to have two people help me out...they kept telling me

to just pull up on the ladder...no way it would work, pretty

embarassing...there are no pools that have ramps within about 60 miles of my

country home....but I think water would help....marge

Hi Marge,

The videos I use are:

" The Method: Tai Chi " Beginners Level

" Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies " -----Really, they make one!

I've used some other yoga workout tapes, but I can't remember the name,

sorry. As for the Tai Chi video, they show the movements from various

sides, which is important as some of them seem pretty complex at first. I'm

not that crazy about the woman who hosts the video (she's annoying) but she

does a good job with the material.

I hope you have a pain free day.

Love and hugs,

Carol
