Some body would slide down, break a hip and sue the manufacturer because they put round balls on the feet. But if you put them on there yourself...ya can't sue! :-) Fun post...you got me thinking! BTW, I'm height challenged, too. :-)Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-8547786940452567382009-03-13T21:06:00.000-05:002009-03-13T21:06:00.000-05:00Hi Kathy....great observations...I heard Andy Roon...Hi Kathy....great observations...I heard Andy Rooney's voice when I was reading them...Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074713188145597455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-83159696010311419792009-03-13T20:00:00.000-05:002009-03-13T20:00:00.000-05:00My mother used to be the Postmaster at our tiny lo...My mother used to be the Postmaster at our tiny local Post Office.

One time, when I was at the post office, the Fed Ex truck was out front and I asked the postal worker about it, she said that the U.S. Post Office often uses Fed Ex to send something from one P.O. to the other!! I was so amazed. She said that it costs less for them to send it Fed Ex than to mail it through the P.O.! laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-68283886504059006072009-03-12T23:52:00.000-05:002009-03-12T23:52:00.000-05:00Oh yes, Kathy!

I'm 5'6" and I have trouble with them! And I totally agree about the walkers. I see them with tennis balls all the time! Why not just outfit them beforehand???!! Not meaning to be political...but why would one give lots of money to someone who'd already proven they couldn't handle money? And how would giving them money "help" anything? Just something that makes no sense to me.....Vannalvroftiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817625061049340265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-12897119889170716642009-03-12T12:29:00.000-05:002009-03-12T12:29:00.000-05:00Oh yes I do.
