9. Certain types of high heel shoes (even as low as 1-1/2") are damn near lethal...

... because they can skid on linoleum and even concrete.

Not long after a colleague took a pratfall and fractured her elbow while coming in from the parking lot at work, I had a severe fall myself while walking down the hallway inside the building. The heel of my shoe hit the linoleum at an angle and down I went, ass over teakettle. I was lucky the only thing damaged was my dignity. I threw that pair of shoes away.

Both of us were wearing "low" high-heels, and both of us were relatively young -- she was in her early 30s and I was in my early 40s, neither of us with any balance issues.

Get well soon to Hillary and Sonia --we need you at work!
