When you went to open a box, they all came out. The only one that got hurt was me. I was five years old and tried to open it in the back seat of the car.

I used to keep pairs of different types in my closet so I could switch whenever my feet needed a break.

My compression gloves and wrist wraps allow me to continue my yoga practice, so they're always in my yoga bag.

Nobody killed anyone with it and I never knew of anyone who got injured. But boy, would that be handy now...Lene Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223128667829847717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-30182487789108555982017-09-26T03:24:02.965-05:002017-09-26T03:24:02.965-05:00Cathy, I also dislike gadgets.

Oh and I guess bicycle pedal extenders are useful as well. With the semi clubfoot I need those to be able to ride my bicycle. Hmm it looks like I have more of these than I every thought.
