my gramma lost a boot to an escalator and spent the rest of her life terrified of the things. Don't know any elevator door injuries. The new ones have sensors so they will stay open of there's an obstruction, but i am a little wary of older elevator doors.
My food is problematic.

I once got a truly spectacular bruise from an elevator door that slammed closed on me (it started closing as I was getting on the elevator and I put my arm up and, after hitting me really hard, it opened again). My arm was all kinds of interesting colors from wrist to elbow. Our HR person photographed it as evidence to get building management to do something about the elevators.

Khloe Kardashian pronounces it KLOWE-ee. Signed, that one time I flew across the US and there was a TV in my seat, I totally watched six episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Home. It's 4 hours door to door. I miss the boys.
And by god, the cooler than usual pool felt good on my sunburn. Had to line the straps up just as they were when I got burnt.

What's this about a possible serial killer?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This is notable, because Cass and I don't talk on the phone. We're texters, the both of us.
I liked that we didn't discuss it on the phone. It was discovered and we reverted to text. As is right and proper in our world.
Does anyone know anyone who has been hurt by closing elevator doors?
Rosalind Shays.
Though, truly, that was more of an open elevator door issue.

Heh. It was one of the best (i.e. unexpected) character deaths ever.

Because escalators are horrible awful machines that house a green monster. I don't know why no one believes me when I tell them these things! They are a hidden menace.

What's this about a possible serial killer?
What's weird is that I think they still haven't found the woman they were originally out there looking for.
