DON'T Buy It!

Ok...this is where the original "rocking" shoe came from. I don't know how any of the cheaper versions by reebok, sketchers, curves, etc..work, but MBTs are really good! (expensive though) A friend told me to get them for work to help my feet and back...and they DO work!

One caution....don't buy a pair of these shoes (from wherever) and think you can wear them all day right away...you'll give yourself shin splints if you wear them for a prolonged period of time before allowing your body to get used to the balance shift....just an FYI.

Discounted Ikea furniture. I bought a bunk bed, flat packed on sale (very cheap) from Ikea. Everything was so off that after 2 days- the use of a drill, a circular saw, 10 varieties of bolts and wood glue- to put it together, I still ended up with something that looked like playground equipment. The child asked if she could have a pool at the end of the bed – so she could just slide into it in the mornings.

I attempted to join an Ikea’s Anonymous support group but the door handle fell off when I tried to enter the room to the meeting.

None of their directioons seem to be written by a native English speaker of any kind. I suspect they are translated from the original Chinese by Swedes using an on line translating service.

I bought an electric scooter one time whose directions warned me to, "Beware the long slope." I finally figured out it was warning me that it didn't have enough power to make it up a steep hill, which the direction writers explained as a "natural phenomenon".

All the stuff that I've purchased from IKEA is like that, Converse - even without being discounted. I purchased a wardrobe gizmo, had fits putting it together. Apparently, wrong instructions. So a straight cis male and his wife came over to help. The sucker's heavy. He and I grunted, sweated and swore. We did it ... when his wife instructed us!

PS. Why I gotta be a Gezerette? Can't I be gender ambiguous? It's the pink cake isn't it?

I have read the thread in its epic and mystical entirety BTW!

You can be whatever kind of Geezer you want to be, apocalipstic. We do not discriminate. Wonder if Linus could find us a geezer emoticon...

Yes, let us move from the binaries of western thought.
Why, think of the possibilities. A high geezerette or geezer. Nope, still in that opposition, either or place. Um, a queer geezer has a broader flow. I will be a queer, kinky transgeezer!!
