How many years have you been doing Tai Chi Skeptical?

Ah I missed world Qigong Tai chi day or whatever it was in April. Could have watched some free demos somewhere probably.

All that is true Hops. I'm usually barefoot these days - or some close facsimile. I have a couple pairs of sewn cotton tai chi shoes and lately have been wearing those for certain grounding properties. Apparently they are unobtanium these days... but I think I can still find the video on the traditional technique for making them.

Thanks for the tip on the fonts! I like your images.

Interesting directions to experiment with, in that AI explanation of physical play especially about balance. If you post an email address one of us can ping you, if you need help getting logged in from Dr. G.

Do NOT request my endless rant about women's shoes with high heels....noooooo pleez do not, it's quite unsafe also because I can't stoppppppppppp....

deforming
back and joint damaging
enfeebling
disempowering
cognitive (spinal) dissonance
self-harm for the male gaze

....that's just clearing my throat, actually.....I'll bellow the rest in a pillow.

(You got virgin feet, Meh!).

Well - back in the younger days - I wore heels a LOT. Work and play. After an early intro (pre-80s) to Earth Shoes. Tai chi got me out of heels pretty much permanently. But I did notice, that ankle injuries felt better with some heels. Which seemed backwards to me. I did NOT wear stilletos then; I would tower over a lot of guys if I did. And if I put them on now, it's only for a short time - for effect. <big grin> At home. With the "do not disturb" sign on the door.

I've never owned or worn high heel shoes my entire life.

Feet are too wimpy for it.

Haven't seen the Puerto Rican neighbors since the wife picked up the bedrail yesterday? And left us a basket of eggs.  The dh had a kidney stone, flat on the floor.  It's been pretty peaceful here, till I saw the clover was rotting at the roots from the straw contact....wet. Too wet, and by now matted under the clover and throughout.

We spent the entire day pulling up straw.....sewing bald patches with more seed.

A storm just came up fast, purple lightening flashing.....we ran to the back porch and watched the rain start.

Our backs will be wrecked tonight.  And our hands....elbows, from leaning on them.

Here's a pointer ..... don't plant in a draught. There are I'll be back breaking regret involved, IME.

Maybe she's looking for an adult-daughter aged friend?
Could be so nice if it works out.

Would she be able to come pick you up, if bus routes won't work?

I'll think of you when the day comes.
