ChrisL 2 #8 May 12, 2005 I prefer my canopy to be over my head, not below my feet In this case a good canopy over her head would have meant certain death __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #9 May 12, 2005 She got dizzy cleaning the balcony and the rail was only 3'6" or so (that's 42", right?) One firefighter said the only explanation was 'angels'. Like Clay said, if it's not your time... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She must leap into the air when she gets dizzy then, cuz I dont see how you can just fall over a 42' railing__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
