Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For the folks who use mobility devices on the daily, how do you do it?
Hubs's sister had an electric scooter, which I moved around a few times. I needed a little practice, mostly to learn how to work the controls to get a speed between "full speed" and "full stop."

OMG yes. I have this issue when I have used store's electric scooter/shopping cart thing. Whiplash for the first half of the store and then I find the sweet spot.
How about a hammock strung between a tree and a fence post?
I'm a purist, you need trees. We don't have a hammock because currently we only have one suitable tree. Eventually the other palm tree will grow, at that time it can have a hammock.
I'm always so tempted to claim an injury so I can drive around the store.
Eh, they aren't that great. The first time I did laugh my butt off as I careened around the store. But they are frustrating, people don't make room, it is hard to reach things. And when you do have an injury - like you are on crutches, there is no great place to put the crutches. Let alone a knee scooter. "Luckily" for me, I can't drive so I'll always have someone with me to push the cart as I scoot around.
And yes, the problems I see are indicative of what others deal with daily.
What was our disagreement on gerunds?
I have the distinct memory of being absolutely furious with you at some point during The Great Gerund War, and now I'm wondering if I was actually mad at someone else?
(I'm honestly hesitant to recap even a small part of that kerfuffle for fear of starting it all over again. It was on WX, and there was yelling.)
Is an -ing ending required to be a gerund, or is it defined by the functional job it does in the sentence.
Aaaaaand now I'm having flashbacks.

Yeah, I recall having Very Strong Feelings and being totally boggled at all of the wrongheadedness! -- so much so that I am also reluctant to open the discussion back up. Let us just assume I was totally right about everything, mmmkay?
I begin to see the Great Gerund War may have reached heights of ferocity like unto the Balrog Wing Debate on Rec.Art.Books.Tolkien.
