Here's an interesting page which discusses words that are often mispronounced. http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/mispron.html

Ok. Let's see if I can describe this. It looks sorta like an umbrella but it has a little round seat that lets down so you can sit on it or up when you are walking. I don't know what its called or where to get one but I need one. Any ideas?

What is a blog? I know it's a type of website, but is it fake info?

blog A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. Information: A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files. From Marketingterms.com

I knew I'd seen a cane stool with a hard seat in a recent magazine! Another Cane Stool And Yet Another Cane Stool I kinda like the one JMM found better though. Not to mention its cheaper!

LOL Who! I knew you'd still be up and looking them up for me!! And man, do they ever get expensive! For now, cheap is better. Maybe in a couple of months I can get another design to see which works better. Thanks so much, Babycakes!!

Well, one thing to consider of course is the stability of the stool function while sitting on it. By the looks of the one JMM found (in the pic anyway), it looks sort of low to the ground. I know if it was me, I'd have a heck of a time getting back into a standing position from it. Of course, none of those stools would probably work for me. For one, they probably don't have enough weight capacity. And two, my rear wouldn't fit on any of the seats! I'd probably have to get two stools, one for each cheek! And probably a third one to hang on to so I can stand up again!

My problem isn't my butt its this belly i'm carrying around. I take after my Dad. We used to tease him and call him "noassatall"! And said all together like that! LOL But I am thinking that the one Jmm showed me might be harder to get out of cause my problem isn't my legs its my back and getting up from something rigid is easier. I had to miss the art festival this year for the first time because I can't walk that much anymore without sitting down for a while. Shoot, I can't even make it thru the grocery store without sitting on one of the benches at the front of the store. Jim goes on without me and I catch up with him at checkout. Discs degeneration.

Twinkie, we used to use those when we have a friend on the PGA and went to several tournaments a year. Maybe you would find one at golf shop. Thanks Dra. I guess I thought it was negative but now I realize the comments I would hear would be more in reference to bias.

Twinks, what about those motorized shopping carts in the stores? I used them all the time when I had the broken ankle. You don't have to be totally disabled to use them.

Okay...I've never seen any of the Terminator movies but my neighbour is entering a contest and she needs to know what Arnold Scwharzenegger was first mistaken for in the first T movie?

Just asked Bigdog. He has seen Terminator a thousand times. He says give him a minute... Edit: He can't come up with it. He says Ahnuld first went up to three hoodlums naked, and Bill Paxton said to him, "laundry day, eh?" And then Ahnuld killed them all and took their clothes.

Okay, he says his best guess is he was mistaken for a human. Bigdog is quite embarrassed.

Rupertbear, I think he was mistaken for a male stripper. Juju, check that out with BigDawg will you?

Bigdog is asleep now, but he did say Ahnuld was naked, so the stripper thing sounds plausible.

Just checked w/Bigdog. He says no on the stripper. He also says Terminator was on television last night. I suppose if we bug him enough, we will force him to watch it again today.
