Putting your shoes on and just to make it harder, laces not slip ons. ;)
I find it easier and quicker sitting down. :P
What age did you start holding onto your leg to guide your foot into your shoe?

It's not an age thing, Mysty, more a question of balance and I've seen ados falling over trying to stand on one leg !
After an injury in my mid 20s, I was advised by an osteopath to avoid standing when dressing, to get into the car bum first and swing legs round, to get out by swing legs first. He said it was advice he gave everyone to avoid the risk of pulling muscles or other injuries !

Before my hip replacement four years ago.

Last post happened as I was writing, can easily stand on one leg, just that with the new hip I must never fall over.

I have better balance on my right leg than the left but have no problem with the 20 second test on either.
So cannot blame brain drain on the spelling ;)

Have been thinking about your post heading and have been told in certain terms not to reply what I said to her.

I always wear "clog" type shoes that I just step into. I gave up laces decades ago as a waste of precious time. For a similar reason I never wore Levis with buttons.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

That's an eye opener never tried if it was the last time it must have been when I was 3 years old as a party trick :lol:

Not that I have had a suit and tie on in the last ten years or been to a wedding but would you still be in clogs?
