Reporting On Progress Toward Quilting AGAIN

You know, Rhoda, those airbag things worry me. They don't cause me to pace the floor at night and wring my hands but I am concerned that they can kill you. My sister got walloped by an airbag. It blackened her eyes, destroyed her glasses, broke her nose and all manner of injury. Makes me wonder if we should be wearing the full-face helmet so many of the Nascar drivers choose. And you don't just have to worry about if 'green means go'. There's also the silly notion that 'stop' also applies to the driver behind you who might be distracted by his cell phone. So very glad that you are healing and sending major happy congratulations on your 64th anniversary. How wonderful. Polly

Thank you for your update. I was concerned on how you were doing. Congrats on your Anniv. DH took me out to dinner last night for our 33rd (a bit late but it was nice as he was finally up to it)

Glad to read that nothing, but nothing, is really slowing you down Rhoda. You are an example. Hope you manage your first goal. I'm certainly not betting against it >g< . In message , R. E. Wicker writes

Really glad to hear this, Butterfly. Well done Mr Joe. . In message , Butterflywings writes

Congradulations on #64!! That's wonderful. I sure hope you can get yourself back together to celebrate. Even a little traffic accident can lay a person low, and yours does not sound little. good thoughts and prayers winging your way. BJ in GA

Hang in there Rhoda ... you are in my prayers. PAT

Sorry to hear about your accident, Rhoda. BUT, glad to hear you are recovering, even if slowly. ((((((HUGS))))))) enroute. I know what you mean about "red" light / vs. "green" light! We have one terrible intersection in town where there is a large "right turn YIELD on red" sign a half-block ahead of it and another sign at the corner itself that says, YIELD! Coming from the opposite side, when WE have the green light and they have the red light, I still slow way down in case some idiot can't read the signs . Hope you're well on the way to a great 64th Anniv.! Congrats! ME-Judy

Rhoda, I'm glad to hear you're making some progress, even if it is slow.

The book sounds interesting, but you may be right in leaving out some of what you've been going through lately!

Congrats on your upcoming 64th anniversary. You're closing in on my grandparents, who made it to 67 years before Grandma passed away. Keep up the good work!

Good news, Rhoda! Here's hoping you are back to your quilting soon! Sending healing thoughts and prayers from Tucson

Rhoda,

I'm so sorry about the accident! It sounds as if you are making progress. I am sending you positive thoughts for a speedy recovery--well in time for your 64th anniversary.

And congrats! Wow, 64 years. Such a wonderful milestone. :-)

Rock on, Iowa girl! And gentle hugs for all the car-wreck owies. If you had the green light, I expect your bills ought to be paid. That's one good thing.

I'll echo that! :)

There are a few things we can do to reduce injury by airbag. One is to sit as far back from the airbag as possible to reduce somewhat the impact. If you are a passenger, move your seat back as far back as possible. If you are the driver, sit as far back as you can and still comfortably reach the controls. If you have a tilt steering wheel, tilt it down so the airbag would hit you in the chest instead of the face. Many of us were taught to hold the steering wheel with our hands in the

Julia, Thank you for that information. I really did not know any of that. Odd what information you miss if your not paying attention. Thanks Again.
