Did you know that I slipped on ice yesterday? God rescued me from serious harm. I’m not sure what would have happened if I’d landed. It would depend on the position I was in at the time. I’m guessing a broken leg, and numerous surgeries to fix it. I’m telling you. It was scary!

Used to be that falling wasn't so bad. But since i got the bone bruises on my knees it has become a lot more scary. My knees still have not recovered.

I don’t mind falling on my bottom. I’m young enough to handle it (despite a bad back). My one leg was twisting around, and my knee was still facing forward.

I would not be able to sit ever again if I fell on my rear. Too many sledding accidents as a kid left their marks!

DYK I remember falling before my trig class in HS, and not being able to sit during class?

Stay safe. Lucky for me i have lots of padding. But stuff can happen to bones and joints. I was inside when i fell on my knees, fell on the hard wood floor. I so hate that it hurts when i try to do stuff i normally do, probably 6 weeks after the fall.

I think I’ve mentioned sledding home from school in my baritone case (it was a steep hill. My brother and I were safer sledding). DYK my father would wake us (not all 7 at once!) in the middle of the night to sled down that hill?

I have ice melt. I just can’t keep putting it out with this crazy weather! Ice turns to puddles, turns to ice and snow and ice and puddles and ice... Apparently the highway patrol is having issues too. There is a landscape company nearby. I saw the owner dumping something on the backroad this morning. Rock salt or gravel. The highway patrol (not cleaning up roadkill) salts about every two hours for the last several days.

Not sure of the composition of Ice Melt; may be just a fancy marketing name for rock salt.
Got any loose straw or hay? Either of them may work. Wood ash will, but I've never seen any mention of a fireplace or woodstove.

heck i've used table salt and pickling salt in a pinch
