I have some and they are great. Make sure you remove them before walking inside on tile as you'll go flying if you don't.Tina in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389744278715174313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-73675702918244543342009-02-12T19:18:00.000+02:002009-02-12T19:18:00.000+02:00Tami: That's what the Russian women all tell me.Tami: That's what the Russian women all tell me.The Expatressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127602680470789727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-67571095616680052162009-02-12T19:10:00.000+02:002009-02-12T19:10:00.000+02:00And to think Russian women are so worried about ma...And to think Russian women are so worried about making a fashion statement that they'll wear stilleto boots on that stuff.<BR/>Hey!

She landed mostly on her arse so she’s ok although her elbow took a small knock.<BR/><BR/>You see plenty of ppl in Moscow with self administered splints and bandages from falls, wrists mostly. Not everyone can go to a doctor and spreading sand is almost unheard of.<BR/><BR/>And how the folks skate around on the men’s elf shoes and the women’s heels has always struck me as incredibly daring.TRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018204726663523430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-61844815352122625452009-02-12T15:51:00.000+02:002009-02-12T15:51:00.000+02:00Do they have the same ice melt products that we ha...Do they have the same ice melt products that we have here? They sure do work well.<BR/><BR/>Your steps are horrible.<BR/><BR/>I just can't imagine how handicapped people get around. I know that my daughter told me that handicap accessiblity there is not what it is here in the US. The handicapped people need to unite to change laws there.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure the elderly lady appreciated your help today.<BR/><BR/>Good that your husband and daughter were not injured in their falls on the ice.Tina in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389744278715174313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-55673271180002850132009-02-12T12:01:00.000+02:002009-02-12T12:01:00.000+02:00Going about your business sounds incredibly danger...Going about your business sounds incredibly dangerous over there.<BR/>I guess it explains the vodka.<BR/>Na zdorovye!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133820052028735829noreply@blogger.com
