Now you have affirmed it. Glad to have you back in the land of the balance-challenged.

Thanks f...Dearest E. Pierce, Mme DeFarge, and Anon,<br />Thanks for your encouraging feedback! I too used to walk (3 times around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park was my preferred route) and I loved it but this was before my acoustic neuroma rudely ate up half my balance. Now, truly afraid I'll fall down--as I did in Mollie Stone's parking lot a few years ago for no reason except that now when I stumble, I must fall as well--I prefer to walk arm in arm with a tall, stable partner. Alas, I have no such partner unless you want to count Boo Radley who, being a cat, is too short and armless to be of much use. Might a lobotomy help me love Curves???<br />All suggestions welcome!ms. gonickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942821183411538572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333555664074107258.post-88704531137503349132010-02-08T11:07:19.222-08:002010-02-08T11:07:19.222-08:00I adore exercise but hated the incessant gossipin...I adore exercise but hated the incessant gossiping and cross-talk about politics (I had an election season membership) at Curves!

You don't think this is a scheme to get us all to take Sally Fields' meds, do you? Does Sally get a kickback? Should we all be buying stock in Boniva?

I complained and we got a cover CD of Abba instead...oh, well you can move to Dancing Queen...Battle Hymn of the Republic, not so much (I'm joking). Overall though, I found the routine too routine...and boring. I'd like to find a good swimming pool but I'm not sure they'd let me in with my Esther Williams suit (aka not a bikini) even though it is quite classically fashionable. I have a male relative who works at the local Sports Center. Maybe I can get a deal if I promise not to swim in my EW when he's there.Madame DeFargehttp://comcast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333555664074107258.post-6074851799374254312010-02-07T08:24:36.952-08:002010-02-07T08:24:36.952-08:00I don't like the frenetic Curves thing either,...I don't like the frenetic Curves thing either, even though my late sister used to be an instructor. Have you tried walking (with ear muffs)? Much more gentle and just as good exercise.

This always seemed perfectly reasonable to me! And so you can well imagine my reaction to the thought of having my sensibilities assailed by a compulsory trip to Funkytown!

I can't take the regular gym anymore at all... but oh, the bliss of doing the backstroke alone in a lane... no music playing, your ears plugged by water...
