The only shopping I do is for groceries, and I try to do that as little as possible.   I hate shopping.  


@RedTop  I solved that problem using Walmart's shopping service.   Now it they'd just carry them into the house and put the away.

Re: Shop By Yourself, Or prefer To Shop with Someone else?

I have friends who are serious shoppers.  I never go with them.  I prefer to shop alone even for groceries.   I occasionally take a friend to Costco - if she goes with me we are there 45 minutes to an hour - if I go alone I am in and out with my list in 15 minutes.

I have always shopped alone, I even shopped alone for my wedding dress.

I prefer alone.

I can no longer stand long enough to browse in stores but I never liked shopping with anyone,  not even with my sister or best friend.   It's just not an activity I care to share. 


@Kachina624  Before I had both knees  replaced, I also could not just stand in one place without leaning on something the pain of a Bone on bone was so bad.  Shopping was a painful nightmare.

Now when I am just standing... I feel so blessed to be able to do that!   Joint replacement is a miracle of sorts. It gave me my life back! I am so grateful.


@SeaMaiden  Yes,  I've had one TKR but my problem is my back and I've seen doctor after doctor and have tried all suggested fixes.   They all agree surgery won't help.

Ive been trying it about three weeks, and so far I think it's helping !

Thank you.  Yes, he is a sharp dresser.  Always has been.  Very Very particular about his clothes.  He irons & starches his jeans! Smiley Surprised

@Azcowgirl I do have one but haven't used it regularly enough to get any benefit from it.   Maybe I should get it out and try it more often.   Thanks.
