If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Well, beloved,, You know when you think “it can’t get worse”; and it usually does: well it seems like it did, Get worse I mean. Felling a bit melancholy I decided to go out to get a bite to eat. I don’t usually do that; but today I did. Streets are slippery, icy and wet. I have been getting shadow vision for years, but it seems now it is here to stay. Well I walked up to the cashier, trying to decide which one was real, the tall one or the shorter one? With my hearing being a bit suspect, I looked for the shorter one because of the sound of her voice being closer to me. I paid in cash, I had just printed up some new 20’s and they were working real good. This gal gave me a hard time, about not knowing what I wanted, cause it took a while to order, she said I looked like I was a bit unsure and disordered. Unsure and disorder!! ! I order and immediately dropped the change on the floor. Well, then the big predicament commenced to present itself. I was unsure how much money was on the floor, but I knew I wanted the quarters back; should I try to bend over in public? so I bend my rather large girth toward the ground and see the quarter on top of my size 8 eee men’s black Reebok. I say to myself, ah, ha, I can do this. I reached for the quarter, and it wasn’t there. I hate bending down like that unless I make the trip worthwhile! I reached a second time and hoped that the large crowd gathering was not because my effort to bend. I finallyrealised that it was was the lower quarter, not the one flashing up high. Now when I watch a movie, I get to see it twice!!! Tanks for reeding this ideological send, I love this place! Lon

 Hugs to you, Lon.  It's always good to hear from you. Hope you learn which image is the one you have to watch. Unless someone can fix it for you. You also need one of those reacher/grabbers.  Not sure it does scooping, though. Awww, a couple more hugs, for the road, Lon.  We all love you, too.

What a fine kettle of fish. If I were there, I would have helped you pick up the change from the floor, giving it back would be a different matter. Did anyone help?? Did you order a "Quarter" Pounder?
Hope you were able to enjoy your meal after all that!

Oh Lon, that's awful, really, I can't even laugh at this one.  Okay, this is a big one, it's time. You have to ask others for help.  I made the transition this year to ask for help in cases like this one and it really isn't painful at all, well maybe a little, but not as much as if I would bend over and try to search for multiple objects on the floor. Give it a try it's not that hard. Lon, don't go making me worry about you.  Cindy

Lon I don't know how to respond to this one. I usually only get something like that when I ride my mule and take the two man flask of pendleton instead of the one man flask. I have been known to attempt to step into the saddle and end up on the ground on the opposite side cause I tried to get on the wrong mule. I would definitely help you out it is the way I was raised.

 while you shouldn't have had to ask for help (shame on anyone watching you and not offering without being asked), as others have said, please do ask when you need the help. i know you would have helped someone else in a similar situation in a second if you could. as you would say, "give someone the opportunity to feel good for doing a good deed for you."  and hoping you can get some relief for those eyes!

Well Rumble, good idea about the "reacher", we do have one at home. are coins magnetic? How are you doing today? We have snow on the way. My lower back is just a little looser, so I am going to do more walking, at a faster pace...
Thanks Lon
