"Apparently NOBODY here on FR has a 'mobility/walking problem'"

Who you callin' "nobody", son?

I've got a bad knee, bad ankles, bad back, bad neck, and bad heart. Walking is something I do when I have to, as little as I have to, and I generally regret it, and pay for it in pain, exhaustion, and sweat. Running is something I do if life depends on it (or when my wife yells that her purse has been stolen in the store-mart), and I do pay for it, in spades.

Could I use one of these "toys"? Damn straight I could. It could put the fun back into hunting and fishing. Enough, in fact, that I'd start hunting and fishing again. It could also take the hell out of going to my barn, or my garden.

I can't quite get a handle on the amount of venom I'm seeing in the "ginger" threads. It's strange. I mean, I'd expect a certain amount of "I'd like one", and "I can't see how I'd need one", but the amount of sheer bile expressed here is astounding.

Remind me never to share any ideas I've got for products or services here, OK?

I'd love to have one...

I just dont see it having a great big affect on my earning capacity, relationships, ability to find a good deal on material items or stay informed or share my opinion or research a paper.....like oh..say, the internet has.
