Ok, you batshit anti fatties.

The righteousness from the thin sometimes nearly whistles.

If a person of weight falls, he or she may be vulnerable re the ankle and other bones, because of weight. Or maybe not, I don't know.
The weight may add to the problem (I don't know the data.)

It's hard to separate the anti fattie stuff here from the real possibility we have a scam.

I'm inclined to say nah to the falling person - this happens on sidewalks, alhough if the concrete varies I may change.

Did she save the twig?

A "fattie" who saves twigs? What next?

I just heard on the radio this morning (with the upcoming storm) about the risk of people suing if they slip on the sidewalk next to your home. They were actually talking about how it may be better to not shovel your sidewalk as someone is less likely to slip on ice that could develop after shoveling - you then would only have to pay the fine for not shoveling.

And this may be why you suddenly received a law suit from a year ago..

@ossobuco,

Did she save the twig is funny.

@Linkat,

Last winter, I noticed that the unshoveled parts of the sidewalk (unless I am buying cat litter, I walk the half mile to the local grocery) were easier and safer to walk on than the shoveled.

The reason was that melting and refreezing made the shoveled areas slick while the trampled snow was much more forgiving.

Shovel snow and then put down salt...Lots of salt.

@Miller,

@Rockhead,

It would be a different lawsuit. The way many streets are laid out, unless the yard next door is lower than yours, killing the neighbor's grass would be difficult.

@plainoldme,

I've been lost in Boston numerous times.

I attribute it to the drunk guy that laid it out a long time ago.

nasty sense of humor, that one...

I also wonder why she would take nearly nine months to reply. No, she is not pregnant: she is 61. The courts take a dim view of people who wait a long time to file complaints. The basic reason, of course, is that people's memories fade. But, the other reason from the observer's point of view is the delay makes the person filing suit look less than credible.

In Massachusetts, a person has three years to file a personal injury claim. There's nothing particularly unusual or suspicious about a person waiting nine months to file a lawsuit.

We have the same statute of limitations in NY, Joe.

@OmSigDAVID,

Actually, the person from the insurance company said the long wait might work against her.

@Miller,

That large scale book of maps that is readily available is a wonderful thing to have. I always had the one for the greater Boston area north.

I just voted Miller's innocuous and conversational post up. Why would anyone vote down someone asking another if they owned a map?

@Miller,

Neither do I and I was offended that it was voted down.
