The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

{{ Scooting up the outside stairs on your butt is fine in good weather, but a bit limiting in rain/snow. }}

Yes, in the 14-day, in patient, "fast rehab" program they taught me butt bumping.

YouTube: How to Negotiate Stairs on Your Bottom (Matthew Hopkinson)

The day I got home from the hospital, I realized that it took the same amount to effort to lower my body to the step for "butt bumping", as it did to raise my body up to the next step -- that was the end of "butt bumping".

The next day I found that it saved even more energy if I went down the stairs two steps at a time.
