Little Mats

What's with all these little mats that elderly people like to put everywhere!?  I'm visiting my APs and have been tripping over these things for a week!  Grrrrr!  I don't see why THEY don't trip over them!  Indeed it says on all those pamphlets about preventing falls to get rid of little mats!  These aren't the first elderly people I've encountered that have a passion for little mats, and furthermore, they were't like this until they got into their eighties.  Am I going to suddenly get a passion for these mats!? God, I hope not!

  • 4/11/06 - toc2me (LDanby)It was one of these little mats that caused my Mother to fall and break a bone in her shoulder a few years ago. She was in a sling for about six weeks - and the little mats are no longer on her floor - they're on mine :) Actually they weren't all that little - braided rugs about 3x5'. They are now under our coffee table and in front of the patio door - and because they are over carpet - they don't slip around.

I can't remember how to get rid of the poll.
