A New Hobby?

[Amore55]

I bought some roller skates from a girl on Facebook marketplace. She was shocked when I picked them up, saying “Are these for you? You are much older than me!”. Well, that was an understatement, since she was about 25 and I am 64!! I confirmed that they are for me and that I used to roller skate. I want to try it again, now that my body has “ripened “ and matured. 🤣🤣 If you read about a woman in Idaho who broke her neck roller skating, yes, it will probably be me. But I am always up for something new and exciting. I figure that my back and body already hurt all the time, so I might as well be enjoying my ride! See above weapons of self destruction! Love to all, Kelly

I should add that I have already been out twice on these dangerous projectiles and so far I am still in one piece! I went both times to a nice smooth trail close to my house, where I could hear the birds and squirrels laughing in harmony at the woman on red roller skates. I will add that they were having a blast!

You’re certifiably crazy, Amore55 PS ~ that’s probably why I adore you! Hopefully, Stormy can keep up with you! 😂

[Amore55 in reply to carolek572]

Oh, he is not coming anywhere close to me when I go! He and I would get tangled up and then we would really be in trouble. And certifiable? Come on, it’s not that bad, is it? Just a little harmless fun. I hope…and I adore you too. ❤️❤️❤️

Where’s jimeka with her bubble suits because you might need one, soon, Amore55 ! 🤗

[Amore55 in reply to carolek572]

I want a red one to match the skates, please.

I use to roller skate alot when I was little thru my teens

[goatgal]

Everyone in my demographic used to rollerskate...but we had skate keys that we wore on string around our necks. We weren't very speedy, even on flat ground. From the age of 7 on, I had perpetually skinned knees. evidence of my lack of coordination and sidewalk obstacles invisible to the eye. Were I to attempt such a repeat now, I'm sure the damage would not be just to my ego and knees.

I wish you joy of skating, but I also wish you to hang up your skates and declare victory before you have a spectacular wipe out that becomes posted on someone's social media account.

[Amore55 in reply to goatgal]

Thank you. I like to believe that I will be able to know when I need to stop, my body will tell me. It may take a “spectacular wipeout “, as you said, but I don’t think so! And as I grew up a massive Tom boy with four big brothers, I always had the skinned knees and bruises too. My poor mom had dreamed of a sweet baby girl and instead she got me!

[Greentime in reply to goatgal]

I remember that key! And sharing the skates with my sister!

[Xvettech]

they are awesome! Lots of luck with them!

[Amore55 in reply to Xvettech]

Holy sh#t, you are one brave lady! 😂 You go girl!!! Don't let gravity get you down! 😂🤗

[Amore55 in reply to Helpmeup]

Thank you. 😊

zzWear knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet! I would love to have even in my wheelchair, it's great exercise.

[Amore55 in reply to swiftpoet]

I had used a wheelchair at one point in my disease and here I am now. It’s a blessing, which my neurologist calls a miracle.

[Greentime in reply to Amore55]

Wow! Enjoy it all!

[Jer29-11]

How fun! Have a great time and be safe!

[falalalala]

Have fun! I used to love rollerskating! 😃

I tried to post an Earth Wind and Fire song for you but it didn't work so I'll have to sing it to myself.😅

[bxrmom]

I loved rollar skating when I was younger! I went with a friend when I was in my 20s and I fell HARD on my butt and that hurt so bad. It was fun though. Have fun!

[Amore55 in reply to bxrmom]

Today I had a fall, but nothing serious, just a minor bruise to my ego! 🤣🤣

[bxrmom in reply to Amore55]

Glad it wasn't serious 😉

[Goldilockssearching]

power to you 💥🛼

[GreatDanekids]

Those are awesome looking and they’re not even in motion! Have an absolute blast ‼️🫡

[Amore55 in reply to GreatDanekids]

They are very comfortable too.

[Mayzee12]

[Amore55 in reply to Mayzee12]

Yes, and please keep praying 🙏

[mrsmike9]

I am so proud of you! You are much braver than I am!

[Tazmanian]

Can I get skates for my rollator?

[Amore55 in reply to Tazmanian]

I’m sure that we can arrange that. 😊❤️

[Tazmanian in reply to Amore55]

🤣😂🤣

[AquaZumbaFan]

Wow!! They are gorgeous ! The last time I roller skated the kids were in elementary school.. I used to skate on the sidewalk a lot growing up and then skated at the rink for a long time! Ironically when the kids were young my feet were completely numb from my big exacerbation .. that added to the excitement .. have fun and I can’t wait to hear about your adventures

[stepsforNeeC]

Don’t “You Dare “ claim falling, they are Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Exercise confuses these disease, just like Praying during hard times confuses the devil!!! Go skating my friend and put some cute black Yoga pants on! I walked on the Treadmill this morning for 30 minutes and did moderate weights to strengthen my arms! Look at God! Blessings NeeC

[Amore55 in reply to stepsforNeeC]

Yay! Good for you!!

[Kitsey]

You are truly an inspiration! As a kid I not only had a key but the skates were metal and clamped on to your shoes. Your skates look much more comfortable. Enjoy every minute😊😊

[NorasMom]

Just stay out of buffalo herds.

[Amore55 in reply to NorasMom]

Hahaha

[PurpleH0pe]

That’s great! Enjoy! If that doesn’t work out, look into an E-bike. My husband bought me one and I absolutely love it. It has allowed me to get out and enjoy and go places I would never be able to. Then it is reassuring that I know I have the assistance when I need it!!

[Amore55 in reply to PurpleH0pe]

I would love one, but the price is prohibitive.

[lbenmaor]

They are great! Enjoy!😀Leslie

Fabulous! 🎉
