This is a little different, but a couple of summers ago--no more than two--I got carded while buying some beer in the grocery store. I was in my fifties! I was with my 25-plus-year-old son! I couldn't believe it. I don't think I ever got carded even when I was younger. I can't remember a time. I thought the person was kidding, and I started laughing. She looked stern and said, "no really, let me see it." I said, "You are going to be so embarrassed." We had a good laugh when she saw how old I was and I walked over a picked up a bag of ice. As I walked past her, she said, pointing to the checker next to her, "She would have carded you too!" I would have left a tip if I could.

This is interesting. I have an arthritic lower back and bad knee also. My therapist said she did not think the shoes would be good for me...now I wonder. I might try them. Are they the Sketchers?

I bought the Tony Little Exercise Sandals in the Summer in Zebra print. They have a 3 degree tilt, which makes the heel a little bit lower & it stretches out your calf, thigh & buttocks muscles. I had bilateral total knee replacements in Jul 09, so thought I needed to exercise my legs. I do deep knee bends, holding onto the kitchen counter & really feel the stretch. I'm looking online to see what I can get now in the way of a stationery exercise bike so I can row work my upper body. I had one about 25 yrs ago & I put my music off & pedal away. I have to work on my belly & arm fat. I've done a lot of walking & some running & still have shapely legs at 63. Got to get back my stamina so I can turn out my charity quilts that I'm behind on. I just changed Giraffe to Zebra above......sorry, got my animals mixed up.
