    I'm getting one :o not a huge one, yet though, by any means. I keep wondering if I should see someone about it, for some sort of remedial shoeing...or just wait..ignore it?

    I have an Aunt who has to wear high heeled slippers because she is in agony if she tries to put her heels on the ground. Something to do with some muscle shortening or something after decades in stilettos.

    I am taking it as an awful warning.

    Did I spell hypocrisy right? It doesn't look right:o

    Yes you did. It never looks right to me either. ;)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Sensible thinking. I always wore heels until I had kids, which put an end to it.

    Yeah, luckily though I used to spend as much time letting the weight drop into my heels, :Dcounter acting it. I am however feeling a difference since stopping yoga. Can't wait to get the green light for that again...

    That's an interesting point. Does anyone sometimes experience thinking about how a word is spelt.... and the more you think about it, the more it seems wrong!

    I love words and language... I sometimes have a word of the moment that I like to turn around in my mind and experiment with its use. :)

    I have actually been thinking of going to the gym. I haven't, as yet, gotten any further than thinking about it.

    I am even considering jogging.

    You don't see many people clutching a packet of fags while running though so that idea may be a nonstarter.
