This answer depends on mobility needs and comfort. Some can get by with a straight, one-leg cain with a rounded top. Others find a cane with a handle offers more support. If more stability is required, a quad cain with 4 legs can be used.

How do you act like an old woman?

The main difference between old people and young people is that old people move more carefully. A teenager would jump down off a curb, whereas an older person would look, put their foot carefully down, and be sure of their balance. Many old people also stoop over because their backbones become curved as they age, and may use a cane. The best way to learn how to act old is to watch old people and copy what they do!


What was the lifestyle in the 1970's?

The schools in the 70's were kinda weird. At school the children would sit in a specific order, and have all there hair tied back. At most schools all the children would wear ties and they had to have there shirts tucked in. If the students did something wrong they usually got the cane. The cane is a like a whip which they used to hit people with if they were naughty. If boys were naughty they would hit them behind the knees, but if girls were naughty they would hit them on the tips of there fingers. The signs of rebellion at schools were if girls didn't have their hair tied up, and if boys had long hair. Also if girls/boys had any types of jewelry that would be rebellion. Boys with long hair and a chains around their neck would be called 'long haired loops'. So that all I know on lifestyle....
