So, like I said in class, my problem is periodic spells of, not very serious but nevertheless worth mentioning to my mother,memory issues. My mother who is a strange and wonderful health nut/junkfoodaholic, told me I should purchase a balancing board for several reasons besides memory. It's good for depression, dexterity, reading, hand-eye coordination to name some. 1st: I got some hardwood and dremeled and sanded the sides and corners down. Then I experimented with letters and stains. Some stains spread in the wood and others stay just where you apply them.
