@Bonnie: Oh okay! Sorry about that. Lol
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's what my SO and kiddo did. It didn't take long after that for them to be better so that sounds like a good thing.
@Bonnie: Oh okay! Sorry about that. Lol
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's what my SO and kiddo did. It didn't take long after that for them to be better so that sounds like a good thing.
@PoeticTorment: That's good news! I will love to be better by the weekend as I made plans about a month ago, but I won't go if I don't feel well and I'm making sure I test negative before I leave the house.
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, everyone I know that's had it went through it that way.
Well besides me and my aunt who had the longer version.
So hopefully it'll work out that way for you guys!
@Bonnie: And thank you for selling!! I appreciate it greatly. *^*
@PoeticTorment: -fingers crossed- I feel like we have been talking about me a lot, how are you?
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Have we? Didn't notice at all. Lol
I'm alright! I walked a lot more than I should have today but I got what I needed done so now I'm just resting my knee with it propped up. *^*
@PoeticTorment: how much walking did you do? Do you have a bad knee?
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Wel, I never actually learned how to drive so I walk every where so a ton. 😅 And yeah, our large dog didn't know her strength so she dragged me and my knee popped where my leg bent weird then it popped back into place. Had issues with it since. Plus side, she's much more gentle with me now since I cried when it happened.
@PoeticTorment: That's A-ok. I do know how to drive but I don't have a car so a walk a ton too.
OW! Wow that really sucks. when was this? Did you go to the Dr about it?
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, my SO doesn't agree with that. XD Learning it is just hard for me but I am trying I just can't remember everything well enough for it to be easy. *^*;
Like two years ago when all the house chaos happened? No, unfortunately, we couldn't afford to at the time with everything. The swelling went down three days later and the bruise healed pretty quickly too. We had thought it'd be fine with time but I guess not. Now it just swells and aches if I overdo it or lift something too heavy but the support sleeve helps.
@PoeticTorment: At least you have a support sleeve. Maybe it's just something that has to heal over the long term?
I get that when you don't live in a walkable place, not being able to drive is hard. I don't like driving and I was scared to start learning too.
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, I have two sizes and it's a pretty good brand. The first set hadn't fit when my knee was really swollen so they sent a second set free. Possible! I don't really take it easy enough for most things so I could just be stressing the joint out again over and over. *^*;
Yeah, same. Our town is pretty small so walking isn't an issue in most cases. I think it's more that I can't go get a full cart of groceries or take kiddo to school that bothers SO. But I've had a phobia of driving for years so working around it without professional help is difficult. But now I can sit and drive a bit without feeling freaked out, I just need more practice and that'll take time.
@PoeticTorment: Driving phobias are a really thing. As for the groceries, I have a cooler backpack and I take reusable bags. Could you get a small groceries old lady cart to help you? Like this Folding Shopping Carts
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Yeah... I have a green cart! And I use reusable shopping bags too. It's just difficult to get the cart through the neighborhood cause there are not many sidewalks and we're right in the school district. Like we're one block from the high school. Lots of car traffic zips past quickly. =^= I'm trying to get my bicycle working again cause I got three baskets for it.
@PoeticTorment: Ugh I hate it when there are no sidewalks! It should be a given that if there is a road there is also a sidewalk. It should be illegal. Big pet peeve of mine.
Bikes are super awesome. I love using mine. A bike would be a lot better and faster. Just still gotta watch out for cars. Do you have lights for it and everything?
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: I fully agree there! I'd like to see the edge of the blocks with sidewalks cause that's where most here in our town walk.
Yeah, I really miss mine. It's been busted for years now so I've had to replace a lot on it. I know, and with three large baskets, I can get pretty much everything I need! I don't have lights for it but I plan to get one after I get the shifter fixed cause I don't know if I need to just fully replace or not. (It's rusted bad!)
@PoeticTorment: If there is a bike shop near you they could look at it and tell you if it can be fixed or if you need a new one.
Yeah totally. People still walk places where there is a sidewalk or not. They are really needed.
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Closest bike shop is in the city so out of luck there. I have rust remover gel so I'm going to try that if it doesn't clean it up then I'll replace it. I just hope my SO will have time to help me with it. Yeah... Very true. I know I end up walking the yards out for safety reasons. *^*
@PoeticTorment: Could you take it to the shop in the back of your truck?
Hopefully it will be ok. You could always watch Youtube videos on how to fix things. As long as the wheels, chain are ok and it doesn't seem like the body of the bike is going to break in two, you are probably alright.

@me
I'm friendly and will chat with anyone!
Head In The Clouds~ (Ping Please!)
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, that's a bit far and costly to do, unfortunately. My great-grandpa taught me a lot about fixing bikes, I just have issues remembering all of it but I've been looking it up as I go so I should be able to get it done? It should be. The frame is still in great shape since I took very good care of it. The wheels have nice solid tubes and the wheels had no damage. I replaced the chain, cables, and shifters with new stuff. Then the brakes my SO cleaned up and they were still in really good condition. Though the brake pads might need to be sanded down some as they don't feel as "grippy"; I know that's cause it hasn't been used in years. (I have new brake pads set aside just in case too) The derailleurs are a bit worn but they should last a few more years. The front derailleur just needs to be cleaned 'cause it's a bit rusted too but the metal seems like just a quick scrub down should fix the stiffness caused by the rust.? I just need to spend time with the rust remover and it should be done in a day or two? I'm slow at fixing things and I know I'll have to ask my SO for help on tightening anything or removing stuff. Or I'll get my sister over or even my stepdad cause I know they'd help me if my SO doesn't. *^*;
