Believe me, blondes AREN'T my preference, but in a situation like that I couldn't be picky!

Also to add, maybe she wasn't so tall, but at the viewpoint I sat she sure looked it. There, I just dispelled everyones fantasy. Hope your all satisfied.

Let me see, I've fallen in a pile of dirt and on the paved bike trail. Never can I say I've fallen "gracefully". But then, at my age and weight, no one would expect grace. On the bike trail, everyone abandoned the area. I guess I was so far from graceful that I frightened the natives.

Nope, no advice on falling gracefully. So sorry.

There is no grace about it....typically I either squeal or laugh as I fall quickly to the ground lol :yikes:

I do have a suggestion....lots and lots of bubblewrap! haha

When I know I am going to fall I just go with the flow. Had a good laugh at Wheelsonfire's story, having lived here in Ireland for a good number of years and giving birth to three Irish Citizens and marrying an Irish Man, to me you can't beat the Irish for friendliness and knowing how to enjoy themselves, they are the best in the world.

I'll second that. funerals, weddings, births, christenings, and any event possible are reasons to party.
After been diagnosed with SCI we partied, people worry too much and should just take life with a pinch of salt.

There is enough sadness in the world without people having to whinge, bitch and should realize once your dead your dead.

Yeah - but then Einstein was German (born in Ulm, later lived in Switzerland), and you know, Wheels, our work ethic! We slave along like hell and live later ... Actually, right now, I'm working. But from time to time, we go on holiday - and sometimes to Ireland! :) Jenny in Ireland, dancing .......

There is no harm in having a solid working foundation, there is always time to have fun, my preference is to have the craic, whined people up for the craic(you should see what a mate and I have planned for the next whined up), you have been to Ireland, you have seen how we live, you understand.

Kind regards

Maybe it's time to visit Ireland! You are a great travel promoter. My ancestors were English, German and Norwegian. Not a great partying lot. (Well, good for getting drunk, but not for enjoying it.)
