[QUOTE="donna723, post: 151058, member: 1883"] Hi Esther! :salute: Good to "see" you! Where I used to work we once had a guy fall on his face while getting up out of an office chair with wheels on the bottom. Banged him up pretty good too! He got (I swear!) a two-page memo from the powers-that-be on the "proper way to get up from a chair"! Which was their caring, concerned way of saying ... "[I]It was your own stupid fault! Don't even think of suing us[/I]!" I didn't used to be but I am now a charter member of the Klutz Club! I took a monumental spill at work, in the middle of the Admin. building, in front of at least thirty people! We have very slick hard floors, tile over concrete, and rows of locking mailboxes along one wall. It was pouring down rain one day and some fool apparently had propped their umbrella up against the wall while they got their mail and it made a large but very hard to see puddle. I stepped in it, my feet went out from under me, and I landed very hard and very [U]un[/U]gracefully on the floor while my lunch box opened up and all my stuff in little containers went rolling down the hallway! I think I surprised a few people who had previously been unaware that I even [I]knew[/I] words like that! And did you know that it is also very easy to slip on [I]grass[/I] that has frost on it??? Especially if you're holding on to a leash with a very strong, very energetic little dog on the other end and she's r-e-a-l-l-y gotta pee! I've hit the ground at least a dozen times, but at least with the dog yanking me along, I fall forwards instead of backwards. But my knees and the palms of my hands are getting battle scars! [/QUOTE]
