If everyone could laugh at themselves the world would be a much happier place unfortunatly too many people can't. On tuesday I fell flat on my back crossing the ice covered road it took the wind out of my sails and I still ache all over but I thought how many others have done the same and broken bones or banged their heads and sustained serious injury. I considered myself one of the lucky ones and cursed myself for not being more careful, Good Luck to you and your wife Bob and keep posting,yours are some of the best and well worth reading.ff
