chickelit म्हणाले...: You got something against black ice deborah?; ४/१/११, ८:५४ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: Still waiting for the golf ball experiment.; ४/१/११, ८:५५ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: @deborah It was 8 inches thick. The cracks actually made the thickness of the ice more obvious. And there was no movement at the crack. It was completely solid.; ४/१/११, ८:५६ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: Now, I did fall 4 times. That sucked.; ४/१/११, ८:५६ PM
john म्हणाले...: From Paul Krugman's column today:

“Even with 4 percent growth, the unemployment rate would be close to 9 percent at the end of 2011 and above 8 percent at the end of 2012. We wouldn’t see anything resembling full employment until late in Sarah Palin’s first presidential term.”

Sounds reasonable. I always thought Krugman would eventually come around.; ४/१/११, ९:०४ PM
The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...: Crack has an 8 inch thick... never mind..

Where is Tropper? I don't want to be accused of stealing his material.; ४/१/११, ९:२१ PM
Tari म्हणाले...: I look at that ice and I think "thank God I moved to Texas, thank God I moved to Texas."; ४/१/११, ९:३४ PM
The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...: Aren't the cracks more unnerving when you cant see them?

although it seems that MeadeHouse did not venture onto the ice that fine day.; ४/१/११, ९:३५ PM
jungatheart म्हणाले...: Along with the helmet, I think maybe Meade should get you some elbow pads till you become more proficient. That could really smart if you came down the wrong way. But man, it looks like fun.; ४/१/११, ९:४४ PM
jungatheart म्हणाले...: Silly chickelit. :) Night, all.; ४/१/११, ९:४९ PM

One can only hope Madame had some padding to soften the fall.; ४/१/११, १०:०६ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: I'm pretty good at falling.

In the past year, one way or another, I think I've fallen about 10 times. I've never broken anything. But I knocked the back of my head really hard today.; ४/१/११, १०:०७ PM

I was wearing a very thick sweater under that jacket. (Which is why it looks so bulky.); ४/१/११, १०:०९ PM
jungatheart म्हणाले...: Has Meade been checking your pupils to see if they're equally dilated?; ४/१/११, १०:१६ PM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: So how the heck can the Green Bay Packers play football without a covered stadium?; ४/१/११, ११:२६ PM

You may want to get that checked out. Inner ear or whatever.

Seriously, a lady of your age needs to be a bit circumspect about falls. The Blonde was worried for several days about her bone scan before it came back OK - she can't do pills like Actonel and the drip is expensive.

"One can only hope Madame had some padding to soften the fall."

Feeling slightly Puckish, I was thinking more of the padding that came with the original unit. :)

But, again, I am serious about your finding out if there's something wrong. Take care.; ५/१/११, १:२६ AM
