[Blindtlk] Getting a new cane?

Wed Mar 6 01:15:39 UTC 2013

I usually have to buy a new cane either every year and a half to two years. 
I'm not the nicest user to my cane. I often get my cane dirty and from time 
to time, I wind up banging my cane or slamming it in between doors by 
accedent. I have to have a durrable cane otherwise, I would be going through 
a cane a month. The reason why I like the roling marshmellow tips is because 
they don't get caught in so many cracks and it goes off roading through the 
gardens all of the time at work. I often ware my canes out probabry more 
than some thanks to working in the gardens. But then again, it also depends 
on the kind of cane and what you do to your cane while you are using it.
