The obvious solution to the wooden menace is to have real trees removed from all ski slopes and replaced by breakaway plastic models.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

That is weird that she seemed fine afterward.
Actually not strange (or, rather, not unusual). It was a plot point in Busman's Honeymoon, and also what happened to my grandmother.

Speaking of models of natural objects. On the way to work this morning, I was going down a road on the fringe of my neighborhood and saw that some vandals apparently busted apart a model deer that has been in somebody's yard for years. Also it appears someone had played mailbox baseball along the road as well. F**k you fake deer killers!

Our wings are not tired.
Well when I said weird, it's specifically in the context of skiing accidents. Most of the fatal (or near fatal) ski accidents I've known about were most definitely of the "take terrible fall/hit tree/don't get up again" variety.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Anniversary Laura!
Then I read that kids these days, when they do their "texting", would "text" SciFi as SyFy.
I think the real reason was that SyFy could be copyrighted and SciFi could not.

Got it. Yeah, I think the get-up-then-lose-consciousness-later ones are usually injuries to the back of the head, which I don't associate with skiing.
On the other hand, I've never been near a ski in my life, so who knows?

Hope to here serious relpys
At least she admits she's not a writer.
