I drink pop and water out of plastic bottles with screw on caps. As long as the cap is on the bottle, I don't have to worry about it if I drop it.

Thumbs up

I looked on the Tupperware site and found bowls and luncheon plates, tumblers (I thought that name was appropriate!! ). I'm going to have to look on ebay and find some cheap Tupperware. I can't get on the floor (on purpose) and get up again. So cleanup is a little iffy for me.

I don't know why I didn't see this before, but those bottles made for cyclist are just the right thing. I bought a few and testing them out...havent dropped them yet. Safe effect as a sippy cup...but don't look toddler like or handicapped looking device.

Used to have this great collection of one-of-a-kind unique saucers/dishes for feeding our cat, Blitzen. Not any more! One by one I have broken every one of my favorite dishes of hers. Thank goodness, and knock on wood, I have not begun on our dishes yet. But poor kitty . . .

It just happened again and I'm getting fruestrated about this at this point.

I post from a Tim Hortons where I hang out and they do know I have some problems, so I guess it wasn't too unexpected for them.

Just about 10 minutes ago I went and got me a vitamin water, started my way towards the counter and it seemed like I kinda felt like I tossed it out my finger tips, it just launched from my hand and I didn't feel it leave...it was very strange and not something I felt like that before. I'm feeling some obvious stiffness in my left hand and up the left side towards my wrist right now. I don't know if it was a mucle spasm or if I just lost feeling of the bottle in my grip. Anyways it just launched and cracked on the floor and all the contents went everywhere.

I was a bit stunned and felt like hiding....She promptly told me to get another one and she'll clean the mess up. All good but so embarrassing. I feel like a little kid when this stuff happens and it's hard to be cool when things like this happen.

frustrated

I have really had the dropsy lately. I will be walking along and all of a sudden my purse is on the floor, parking lot, etc. I had no idea that correlware was like that. My sister and I were going to smash up a bunch of blue things for a mosaic and I had some correll ware to add to it. That does not smash up with the intent to be used again!!!!

It doesn't have anything to do with my MS 'clumsiness' but one night beginning of January, night before our family Christmas at our house, we had bought a brand new bottle of detergent. And we buy the largest we can. I had washed the quilt to go on my daughter's king bed and had put it in the dryer. Later I go downstairs to put it in the dryer, take into mind here we had just had to have our sewer fixed because blockage and our laundry room had been full of sewer water. So I walk in the laundry room, turn on the light and the laundry room is all wet My husband puts his fingers in it and tastes it....yuck....and says it's laundry detergent. The quilt was so big, that it made the dryer vibrate enough that the brand new bottle is on the floor, lid cracked off and detergent all over the place, including in the sump pump. So the sump pump is bubbling all over the place, I suppose it went out to our back yard.

Well just caffeinated the cat . Drinking a Starbucks coffee, the bottled iced ones they sell, and for whatever reason the left hand decided to shake the bottle and then just let go.... So coffee with milk is spread in a veritable river across my kitchen floor and before I could react the cat decided he'd clean it up for me.

It's gonna be a long day with caffeinated cat....
