Thank you, Jimeka! These are great! I love the one about giving up alcohol, because they can get the same effect standing up too fast. So can I! Sometimes, just standing up at all. Sometimes, I get that same effect bending over, or reaching down to pick something up. I don't dare bend over to scoop/clean litter boxes at my house. I sit in the floor to do that chore! When I bend over, I keep on going until I land face-first wherever...yes it did happen, but it won't again. The landing takes that good, warm, not really here feeling away in a flash, and it is awful. Nobody wants to be found, feeling/acting drunk, face down in a well-used litter box, where they have apparently. fallen, and they are OLD.
