My grandson had an accident on the slopes with his snowboard last year and both his mom and I had to read about it on his Facebook page! When she finally got him on the phone, he nonchalantly told her he was okay, that he "just lacerated his liver"! She hung up on him and called the hospital and talked to his surgeon. He lives in Colorado and she is in Minnesota. The distance saved him from a good smack from her!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-77960355972493106132016-11-27T19:46:07.438-06:002016-11-27T19:46:07.438-06:00The Pony did not mention any ladybugs.

Hick went by the crash site today, and says it looks like the car went airborne for 30-40 feet, dropped 15 feet from the road level, then landed in the tops of some saplings, which bent down and slowed him, then passed between a normal sized tree and a telephone pole, one side hitting one of them, then the other side hitting the other. Another inch or two either way, and he would have hit one of them dead-on.<br /><br />He's a very lucky fellow.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-48217888260510869902016-11-27T12:59:02.748-06:002016-11-27T12:59:02.748-06:00I don't know how I missed this post; I came ov...I don't know how I missed this post; I came over from today's.

Thank goodness those small trees are great momentum-absorbers.<br /><br />Yeah. The insurance lady who took the claim said it sounds like a total loss, even though the adjuster who will see it next week has the final say. Hick and The Pony went car-shopping today, and got another one, same make and model, same year, for what we think the insurance payment will be.<br /><br />Somewhere in his youth or childhood, he must have done something not-bad (because we all know how he doesn't really care about helping people). The Pony was sitting in a pocket of no damage. Very fortunate.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-78619471012502503212016-11-25T19:25:41.465-06:002016-11-25T19:25:41.465-06:00That's right.

I understand. Why make her ride 9 hours home and 9 hours back when you could have almost 2 extra days with her by flying? Or maybe they had a premonition.<br /><br />Of course, when I told The Pony I was glad nobody was with him in that passenger seat, he said, "Or maybe they would have kept me awake by talking."<br /><br />The Pony appreciates your concern. And he's making fudge (your recipe) for a girl who brought him a bottle of cough medicine to class. Non-prescription, of course. He's been under-the-weather. But thankfully above-the-ground.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-40619934611407493102016-11-25T19:14:42.912-06:002016-11-25T19:14:42.912-06:00You're tellin' ME!You're tellin' ME!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-54841620897811492672016-11-25T13:14:45.934-06:002016-11-25T13:14:45.934-06:00Wow!

It looks like the insurance company will total it so he can get something new rather than try to fix this one up.
