holy moly grump thank god shes ok!!that looks like it could have been much worse!!i guess that makes Mountain Mama the first member to hit the ice this year!!!all kidding aside, I,m very happy to hear Nancy is alright!
-
Well all I have to say is thank god you are okay nancy. Girl there are other ways of getting your first post. ;) ;) Yes the weather has been darn cold the last couple of days. For those that are not aware the grumpster and Nancy only live approx 1/2 hr north east of me. The highway around here is not in that type of shape so far. I however am on the road daily at 5:00 AM. Thanks for the warning grumpy. Well nancy just sit back in the shanty and enjoy a nice glass of wine or two. Hopefully you do not wake up tommorrow with a sore back or neck. Take care and let the grumpster baby you for a few days.
-
Thank god your alright Nancy that musta been a hell of a scary ride :oI'm just glad you are o k and I know Grump will take very good care of you rest up there girl!
-
My golly, Nancy, I'm glad you walked away from that! I see the driver's front window is cracked, hope that wasn't from any part of you, that would hurt! I also suspect you're going to be sore for a while, but hopefully, you'll be up to putting in your first post soon. We'll be waiting for it! All the best, Allen.

Well thank god she's alright Grumpy . So now I can cuss and say " when are them women drivers gonna learn that pedal down doesn't mean to the floor " . Speed demons they are . LOL ;D ;) Only reason to go fast anywhere is to make the beer store before she closes . LOL ;D
Tell Mountain Mama it's just a chunk of metal and they make more where that one came from .

WOW! Glad to hear everyone is OK!! Very lucky! I was a passenger in a roll-over 12 years ago and still have aches, pains and plenty of scars to remind me of it. You take care Mountain Mama and rest up and keep those wheels under ya from now on!
-
i will pass on the kind words...Mountain Mama is currently up at the hospital getting precautionary x-rays, a shot of demerol...Sawbones saw her this morning and not too overly concerned with her vertigo...figures they can give her head a shake and reposition the crystals for regaining her balance...some pretty nasty bruises as expected....the demerol will ease that....worst case is an overnighter there....will know after lunch....Grump

Holly Molly! Glad she's alright. Look's liket that thing has a five star in the roll over catagory. :-\
-
First I'm glad she's okay as we are heading into that season here and I'll be getting lots of calls soon from my clients crashing their cars as car insurance is my life, so to speak. It pays the bills and is what I do all day, every day. Accidents suck.
Only reason to go fast anywhere is to make the beer store before she closes . LOL ;D
Secondly trapperdirk is absolutely right. We all need to slow down when it's slippery out unless we are making a last minute run to the local bevy center. If you have only 5 minutes to make it before closing you must drive fast and take chances. ;D A night at home with "she the one who must be obeyed" and no beer would be unacceptable. ;D
-
Glad to hear that Mtnmama is alright , i get to see that type of accident all too often , being a term. mgr for a towing co. and still do some driving when necessary . Hope she feels better from all those aches and pains and sore muscles from the accident . Remember vehicles can be replaced - lives can't !
-

Lol Bw ;D Glad to hear your alright Mountain momma !!!

Good to hear from you Mountain Momma but I see the Grump is cheating and getting you to post under his name to get his ratings up higher faster . LOL ;D . It would be nice if you gave us all the dirt on our friend the Grumpy Moe because it's going to be a long winter and we need many things to tease him about on Iceshanty and here . LOL ;)
Take care Momma and keep the Grump behaving . LOL

Glad to hear you're OK, Mountain Mama! Guess Moe is going to be fighting for the right to drive his green truck until you get that Tracker replaced. BTW, that vehicle really held together well during the rollover, it must be built pretty solid. Keep on truckin'!
-
You're right Monophil....it stood up pretty well....but that's the end of it....Total loss as of yesterday afternoon...insurance estimated in excess of $20,000.00 damage!!!...sent to the recylcing yard in Asia.... ;D ;D...Grump
-
Ouch! :o Now the real problem becomes the difference between the insurance co. evaluation and the cost of replacing the vehicle from the dealer. (I've been through that twice, and each time I was a bit poorer in the end). Hope the bite's not too big! Last time we upgraded my wife's car to a Honda Civic, and have been really pleased with it, even though people seem to like running into it (3, yes, 3 rear bumpers, one front one (her fault) and a front fender (not her fault)). And the car just keeps on ticking. I'm just glad the cars now-a-days are built safer. But black ice is still a unseen killer on the roads.

Hey Grump.... Been away for a few days with very limited time to check in on the various websites. Work suddenly got very busy and it looks like I have to do my surfing in the evenings from home now.
Was quite surprised to hear about Nancy's "ice-capades". Glad she didn't suffer any serious injury. You can always get a new car. Just hope your insurance company is kind to you.
Now go to bed Mountain Mama and rest up so you can hit the hardwater for some trophy northerns and fat lakers this season. Just leave the driving to Grump...
P.S. - Welcome aboard Mountain Mama!!
Mike

Nice to hear that everything is ok Moe and Mrs. Moe. My body hasn't fully recovered from a near death collosion 2 years ago. The human body wasn't designed for such things. Sorry to hear about your bad luck and I am glad you are ok Mrs. G. Grumpy, I know you will take care of her.
