[Blindtlk] Getting a new cane?

Wed Mar 6 01:57:52 UTC 2013

Gloria,

That makes sense, although there's nothing like the "tap, tap, tap" of a new
metal tip on a tile floor! <Grin!> Like so many other things in life, this
is all a matter of personal preference.

Hi,

I meant walks instead of walls! Hahaha!

Hi Chris,

I like the fact that the roller tip is a lot easier to use in the grass and
I guess the sound of it when used on walls and floors without carpet.

Gloria,

Just curious; what do you like about the rolling tip over the others? I have
never really liked it because it seems to add a lot of extra weight to the
end of the cane.

I didn't like that cane either. I also like the folding cane with the roller
tip and the protection between the sections.

This cane has never given me any trouble. I have had this cane for a couple
years or more. I don't remember.

I'm glad that the kind of NFB cane that I talked about was discontinued! I
think that it had too many problems for it to remain on the market. As for
the kind of cane that I like, I will promptly agree to disagree with you all

who like other kinds of canes than I do. It's all a matter of apponyon. I
don't mind giving feed back on my personal experiences with canes.
