I banged my thumb with a hammer just now & I have a somewhat blackened finger nail…lots of swearing happened!!

I fell off the porch last year by stepping on an ice patch.
I was in the air horizontally for a second, then bounced off my ass, grabbed the railing and cranked my shoulder.it was all in the dark so my neighbor doesn’t get to tease me
That is the story of why I own a shoulder brace that I don’t use. :)

@lucillelucillelucille Oh, slipping on ice is the worst!
The brief moment where you were horizontal in the air would have made a fantastic photo lol

@ucme -When my hub & I walk in the winter, sometimes one of us will “disappear”.
That is when someone will be on their back on the ice.
This has happened so many times but it is still funny as hell. :)

@lucillelucillelucille It terrifies me the idea of my wife falling when It’s slippery under foot like that, she however almost wets herself laughing the frequent times I go down.
She says the funniest part is my windmill arms pathetically trying to keep me up…doomed to failure :D

@ucme -My hub said that he saw me bounce 3’ in the air one time. He tries really hard not to laugh.
Windmilling is not advisable I know as I do wipe out a lot.

@lucillelucillelucille Running when It’s icy out is the scariest thing you’ll ever do.
I could confidently crack walnuts in my arse, that’s how tense it is lol

@ucme -That is why I don’t do it. Peesicles in my pants? No thanks.

No one else had a little accident?
No blistered tongues?
How about singed ears?
Bruised egos even?

I turned on my countertop coffee maker without putting the pot under the spout. Luckily It sits on a tray, and I noticed it right away, so clean up was easy. Sometimes I forget to put in the grounds, and get a pot of hot water.

I was putting my jeans on and had one leg in, and lifted my other leg to put it in, and toppled over. I had some boxes of stuff on the floor (was getting bathroom redone so had boxes of bathroom stuff) and I crashed into the boxes. Nobody saw me so it was not so bad but I’m sure it would have looked really funny to an onlooker.
