<p>En la &quot;<em>cuponera</em>&quot; de <strong>Sam's Club</strong>, con vigencia 07-26 Enero, veo que están ofertando <strong>tapetes para yoga</strong> &quot;antideslizante&quot; en varios colores para <strong>349 pesos</strong> = USD17.50 aproximadamente.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>We, and you have had three friends take falls this autumn and winter and break a hip and two legs.  That has to end.  It's important to know about bone density and all that stuff, but more important to keep track of your life.  Find the slippery places, add handrails, add textured tiles, they aren't very expensive to replace, and BE CAREFUL!!!  Look for places that could hurt us as we age.</p>
<p>We keep an icepack on both floors that we live on, because it's important!</p>
<p>Don't know about all of you, but as hard as we fight the aging process, we are getting older.  Hate that.</p>
</blockquote><p>Yeah, I'm still not convinced by the 21st century. All those empty promises we got when we were young about vacationing on the moon and flying cars and DNA engineering to live forever. Buncha hooey! We were doing just fine before cellphones and nanotech and chemtrails and Jewish laser beams from space. <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="wink" /> </p>
<p>Every single day we have to be careful how and where we step, just like every generation before us. That's why I love even more living here where I know not just my home but pretty much the entire town by heart, having had to adjust to being almost blind for over a year with those damn cataracts as well as having had to walk in sandals hundreds of times around the entire bay at night without a flashlight from Las Gatas to El Almacén (before the road) back before all the light pollution using mostly starlight to see by. There's no place like home, and Zihuatanejo is it for me.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>We, like most people here have tile floors.  Fortunately, ours are textured so aren't deadly slippery like many.</p>

<p>So, what to do?  Both Soriana and Bodega sell inexpensive yoga mats in a wide variety of colors.  Some even have a light pattern that is quite nice.  We cut one in half and it has done the job.

<p>Try it and be safe!</p>
</blockquote><p>Hope you're okay and nothing fractured. Falling when over 50 y/o can too often be a life-changing experience. I love our ancient slick floors, too, for their coolness except when stepping out of the shower without a floor mat or when floors are wet after mopping. We always wear flip flops around the house except in the bedrooms. And we try to always hold onto railings going up and down our stairs that can also sometimes get wet from watering or rain blowing in through the door to our <em>azotea</em> (or a dog that had an accident).</p>
