When my mother was mad at any of us kids, she'd say, "You'd better walk a chalk line!" I always wondered what the hell that meant but I could tell by her tone it wasn't a joke, haha.

Carpenters use a chalk line to get a straight line. Very common for sheet rock work. It is a string that has chalk on it. Both ends are held and the line is pulled up and snapped, making a straight line over a long distance. So your mom was saying to walk a very precise straight line and for a long distance. :sneaky:

Oh, I understand all that now, I just didn't have a clue when I was 8. :ROFLMAO:
 
Y'all @Beth Gallagher @Marie Mallory can laugh about it, but it is serious business and has me worried. I wish my friend had never seen the article ad by Dr. Shitz. something like Shitzabob, but I took the liberty to shorten it. Read my thread and I think you will understand. Again as so many times in my life, I have no one to blame but myself. Old age is ripping me a new one.

Faye, sorry I didn't mean to be rude, I thought you were making light of it. I do that sometimes when I have trouble with my illness's. Like this squat injury, I've made jokes at times, but it sure isn't funny.

I'm sorry about your foot problem, Faye. As Marie said, I saw your "laughing emoji" and thought you were making a joke so I apologize for the misunderstanding.

The foot problem is real and I was making a joke about it. If you read my thread about it, you will see why I must not get too serious about it. I am doing the Epson salt soak as we converse. From what the doctor told me before, it is hard to get rid of. So far I have tried every thing I can find including treatments that have bad reviews. I read that it is hard for folks our age to get rid of. It is better to laugh about such crap, than cry. :ROFLMAO:

Sorry about messing with y'all. Sometimes my sense of humor gets a bit crazy.

I feel for you for sure. We just got Epsom Salts today, will be in tub with it tonight. I used what little we had left a couple days ago. So I'm sure it wasn't enough.
