[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 201455, member: 1991"] I decorate mine. Although it's not a quad stick, mine IS one of those aluminium things with an elbow cuff. I cover mine with stickers and hang home-made dangly stars on it, cut out from cardboard I get from smoked salmon packs (gold foil one side, silver on the other). I use curling ribbon to hang the danglies. Avoid metal danglies - they make a jangle noise which is annoying. Also avoid danglies with sharp points or angles, they snag and jab. Something else really cool - I assume your quad stick is adjustable (holes along its length). If so, listen to it in a strong wind, it sings to you. My kids think it's hilarious. There is something about walking along the beach having my stick singing to me - I like it. My sticks make it easier for me to get to some amazing places. They've taken me to Athens, to Singapore, to Melbourne and around New Zealand. I've climbed over the ruins of Delphi and Mycenae and negotiated the boiling mud and steam clouds at Craters of the Moon and Rotarua. My sticks have taken me to Milford Sound and into the caves of Waitomo. They've helped me negotiate the snow-covered slopes of volcanic Mt Ruapehu and the uneven sandstone gutters of inner city Sydney. I don't use my sticks around the house. But they are my friends that help me learn first-hand about the world. With my sticks I can reach more of the world and enjoy it. Have fun customising your quad stick. Maybe have a different name for each prong? Marg [/QUOTE]
