Well, actually, you can, as I know from painful experience – that time when my horse spooked as I was trying to get him through a gate, knocked me down, and stomped on my ankle. He didn’t mean to hurt me, no bones were broken, and the wound to my inner ankle healed up reasonably quickly. The only time in my life I screamed that fiercely, though. But I dig what your husband said. ---

Uh, try looking up the etymology of ‘riding roughshod’ over someone. No matter how bad things are, it can always get worse. I think the universe accepts it as a challenge.
