Networking
In the seventies and early eighties when I was teaching quilting in Toronto, I found the greatest part of teaching women (and one man) how to quilt was not just the friendships I experienced but the networking of information shared around my teaching table. The Chat Board is like one big quilting table, I find. And I noticed in putting this up, an advert popping up about ankle pain. I wonder if it will travel with this posting.Yesterday, I received a notice from Naot Canada that they were having a pre-Christmas sale of their shoes. Since I've had Plantar Fasciitis several years ago, very painful and long lingering, the day after I serendipitously stepped into and bought my first pair of Naots (made in Isreal) the pain left. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by the overuse of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the food running from under the heel to the front of the foot. Naot shoes are made to fit feet as they should be fit..not squashed in according to current fashion styles; they have a cushioned insole that, when worn down, can be replaced. They are not inexpensive but are worth it. Yesterday, I bought a pair of shoes, the same as I'm wearing now...for less than half price (Normally, $198 for $80) plus a bargain in shipping costs...$6. This may not be of any interest to you folks but someone, somewhere, is experiencing this nuisance of plantar fasciitis. Tell them about Naots...I know Doris is familiar with them. They ship anywhere.
This morning we awoke to hoar frost covering the trees, fields and hydro wires. It's bitterly cold but we missed all of the snow storms coming off Georgian Bay and Lake Huron this week. Fifteen miles to the east, people were inundated with it. North of London, Ontario, they had eight feet of snow fall in two days. That is 96 inches. We just had a skiff of snow and I am wishing for a little more for Christmas as I bought a pair of men's sized snow shoes yesterday hoping that himself might join me snowshoeing this winter but after making sure that he heard me...ignoring questions like this is always good so that he doesn't have to commit to anything...the only commitment I got was a.....hmmmm.

Rosey - I developed Plantar Fasciitis sixteen years ago, saw one orthopedic specialist (useless), one podiatrist (useless) and finally tried another podiatrist who set me on the right road. THAT one told me to keep my arches supported, and it worked. I still keep them supported, to keep my lower spine in alignment. Otherwise, the chiropractor gets rich and I hurt.
