I'm glad you and the TV survived. It could have been worse.

Many years ago, when I was a teenager, we were taking an out-of-town trip to see my aunt. She was very poor and I decided that I'd take her a color TV set. It was below freezing and the ramp to my shop was very slick from ice. When my young dumb-butt self was coming out of the shop with the TV, I slipped on the ice. I landed on my butt and the TV landed beside me. Except for a sore butt, I was OK. I can't say the same for the TV. Not to be outdone, I slid back in the shop, got another TV, slid it out the door, and then picked it up and carried it once I got to a safe spot. The whole ordeal was worth it once I saw how excited and appreciative my aunt was over getting that TV.
