Had a good laugh at all your antics, seems some of us just seem to accept that it is part of our daily routine to land on the floor at least once a day. :mfrlol:

Too many times to count! Let's see......I'm pretty sure it's at least a couple times a year & since it's been 19&1/2+ yrs now.......well do the math. Hitting hardwood floors reinforces why they're called HARD-wood floors. Oh & cement......is very unforgiving. If you're going to fall out of your chair best place to do it as is some grass.....Mother Nature was kind enough to at least make most grassy areas fairly soft in comparison to other surfaces.


If you fall in the grass, beware of ants. Early on I wanted to see how far I could go in my yard. Well, I didn't even get off my sidewalk! My grass is tall, so my front wheels just went down and my footplate got stuck in an antpile. I got several antbites, but at least they didn't hurt. :mfrlol:
