Not anymore! In high school a few of us did take our roller blades out to an ice rink... that was rather amusing.
There was a blizzard here in 1979, and the entire county came to a screeching halt for a month; we didnt' have school, businesses didn't open, they even had the National Guard out to deliver food to people who couldn't get out to buy their own.
During that blizzard, the Big Sandy River (whihc is about five miles from my house) froze over. It doesnt' sound like anything impressive to most, but it was the first time in living memory it had happened here. People got in trouble several times for driving out onto the ice in their pickup trucks and four-wheel drives.
Rednecks.
My elder sister's best friend, Sharanna, had learned to ice skate that year; her brothers had bought her skates, walked her out onto the ice of the river, strapped on her skates, and then just left her there, saying, "learn to skate back to the riverbank, or stay there until the thaw." Needless to say, she learned to skate.
(Do I need to point out that ice skating is as rare as hen's teeth here in my part of Appalachia? Our winters are too warm)
So what did Sharanna do? She swiped her brothers' skates, collected her own, and came over to our house to teach us how to skate, too! We were not going out to the river, naturally; too far to walk, and my mother was not going to drive us, not when she disapproved so. But there was a nice broad creek at the bottom of Graveyard Hill, on the south side of the farm, so we skated there.
I was just twelve then, and my arthritis was in early days (only my knees, and not too bad as long as I kept warm). There was no way I was going to let a little ache keep me from the fun. So I learned to skate on our creek. Deeply weird experience: rocks and plant stems stuck up through the ice, and one large tree's root system poked down into the ice from above, making the whole thing more like running an obstacle course instead of all the grace and speed you see on the Olympics.
But it was FUN.
Can you use the oils they sell in health shops to help it?
Like fish oil? I'm scared to try fish oil, because of my allergies. Hyperemesis is bad; anaphylaxis is worse.
