And I'm running short of food for dinner. The nearest is currently at 2.5 miles away, there is a new store nearer than that, like maybe a mile away, but that store is still not open, and both are farther than I can walk to. Just walking maybe 150' to the trash bin is a struggle. @ Kittyman: Janneseti may not have known that. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Probably not. Which is why I let him know. I happen to be lucky in that respect. If my car goes down, I live within hiking distance of, among other things, a True Value hardware store, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, a Shopko discount store with pharmacy, a Burger King, 3 gas stations, and both an Autozone and Oreilly auto parts store. And there is always Yellow Cab on call if I had to venture further. Meow. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. 4.023 km away? That's 2.5 miles. We would say it's 4 km away. The extra 23 meters... LOL:) Anyway. I'm a city boy used to have near to all. Genuine Söderkis:) My GF as a kid though had to go 7 km to school everyday, Rain or shine, Snow in the winter. |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. I used to live in a small city, in San Gabriel CA, a store was a block away, but that was in 1986, when I could walk a long ways. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. Not being able to walk is a bummer for ever reason it is. Only two months ago my GF had to amputate her leg above the knee cap:( |

I usually walk to mine. Always have. Ouch! I almost had to have that done in 2002, instead I have 3 titanium screws in My left leg, 2 bad ankles and knees, and 2 dislocated hips, with OA, that's in addition to a stiff back, being 6'1" tall, about 416lbs, a hernia(My stomach is partly above My diaphragm), a dislocated right shoulder joint(OA was detected there at age 40, I'm 57, though I'm told I look like I'm about 45, w/thick strawberry blond hair and no grey, hairline unchanged since I was a teenager), I had to change My diet several times just to lose some weight, I hope I'm still losing weight, I need to charge the batteries soon for the scale.

Ouch :( Hope you check your blood sugar levels so you don't have diabetes 2. As for my GF who have it, it started with a small wound on her heel. That grow and soon she got gangrene... So check your feet often as well! |

No I don't have diabetes, 1 or 2, I've been tested, and like the rest in My family, this does not exist. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

UK Social Services would put you into Assisted Living accommodation as a very minimum., and you'd be a Blue Badge holder. If he wanted to, he would not be forced, if they had places, also my father refused a blue badge right up to his death. Please remember I asked for help for my father and UK Social Services were stretched to provide it. Then when I was desperate for full time help I was told it would be two to three weeks before he could even be assessed, by which time he was dead. |

Strange but if you convert 2.5 miles to km guess what the answer is 4.023 km I wonder if just by chance that is what he did as I do not suppose his car records the journey in km. |

Strange but if you convert 2.5 miles to km guess what the answer is When I studied at KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY that conversion is considered as an error. 2.500 miles = 4.023 km. 2.5 miles = 4.0 km. See the difference? If you cannot handle magnitudes and precision's then you are lost... Whatever:) |

hahahahahahaha. People that round up/down to sensible levels get moaned at for being imprecise. People that are precise get moaned at for being too specific. You really could not make it up :-) |

Well at least I don't live in Florida or Texas. I'd rather go thru an earthquake, since I've been here I've gone thru 2 quakes, both at right angles to each other, My place is setup for earthquakes. I've applied twice for IHSS, and been denied twice, all cause I can do somethings still, so I'm not in danger of being placed in a home, and cause I'm not 65+ yet. So I fall thru the cracks as it were. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Hmm, maybe :-) I haven't been admonished for a lack of sensitivity or creating discontent, so my sense of humour remains intact :-) |
