Almost took another fall on the ice, the other day my dog and I fell
off the steps in the back I could see some of the ice, but where I
stepped looked dry... the look on his face.., I am sure he said the
look on my face too.. as we both slid down looking at each other. I
think it hurt me more than him.

Took a similar dive on my keester just today as I walked around the plow on
my truck. Nothing spectacular - just one of those oh **** moments where it
just happens and there you are on your butt. More annoying than anything
else. Fortunately, I had no witnesses to mock me...


I remember falling on the ice while carrying a TV set, fortunately it was
way back in my younger days when I could more easily react to a situation
like that. I was able to sort of fall straight down onto my ass and
put the television on my lap to keep it from being damaged. Then I slid
on my butt, with the TC on my lap, down the somewhat inclined sidewalk
about 20 yards or so. The young lady I was helping saw the whole thing
and she was laughing her head off.
