Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 -Dennis, I thought about getting a hot tub when I move to NC in the fall....and then thought about getting in and out in the winter and how that would defeat the purpose if I got chilled to the bone every time I got out!!! I never thought about puting it in the house!!! ANd I could watch TV while I soak! Did you have to put down some kind of special liner to protect the floor?? This is somehing that I am going to look into !! How did your Dr. Appt go...with the spine specialist??? Did you get there without your chair or did you get the lift for it fixed in time?? Yes prices seem to get higher every time I go to the store!!! What would they do if we all went on strike and didn't shop for anything for like a week?? think they would get the message?? it has to be hitting ALL families, not just thoe of us old hobblers!!!!...................jenna -- In , <betnden@...> wrote: > > One of the first things I got that really helped me was a hot tub.
