Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Greg, I just remembered a picture from when I last rode a 2-wheeler. 4 years ago I totalled my car in a close encounter with a telephone pole. My neuro & I agreed that I shouldn't drive until we figured out what happened. We finally decided it was the Neurontin I was taking for neuropathy, but I couldn't drive for almost 2 months. I hated asking for rides & so I started riding my granddaughter's bike across the street to WalMart. I took tote bags to carry stuff back, along with my water bottle, my Dale Earnhardt helmet, etc. On the second or third such expedition, I fell off the bike, my son had a fit that I was even trying to ride across a busy street, yada, yada, yada. They took my wheels away. I tried a couple of other times to ride, without all the extra gear, and fell right over. Anyway, this is a photo my granddaughter took of me the last time I made the WalMart run. Did I mention it was cold (Indiana)? I'll post the photo on the NS site for those who can't open it.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey, Jackie, as long as you weren't leaving ice cream, etc. in the cart, sounds okay to me. Shoot, at least it was all in one place, not like the shoes left in the produce dept., etc. Ramblin' RoseModerator "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong.

I used my scooter to get around. Now I have my license back and I still use the scooter to get around town. cost less than the car. If I am going to spend a lot of money my sweetie comes with on his bike and does any hauling I can't. Works for me. I used to do what I called "Power shopping". I would go into wal-mart and fill up a cart with all the things I thought I needed or wanted. I would take my time and enjoy myself. (didn't always use Wal-Mart) After I was done for the day I would park the cart and go home. Now this sounds naughty, maybe, but I accomplished 3 things. Are you ready???? !. I got the need to shop out of my system. 2. I saved money because I didn't spend any and had a good time doing it. 3. I kept someone in work. Hey someone had to put all the things back on the shelves. Right. Now before you curl up your nose, Remember I was a single Mom of 2. Didn't make enough to get what I wanted or needed. So try it. I became known in this area as the crazy lady. They let me alone and were really quite friendly after they discovered who was doing this and why. LOL I made some wonderful friends. OK so I am a little nuts. (and that was before sarc.) Have a wonderful day to all of you. Prayers and good thoughts coming your way.
