And me not so good bits, ha! I got stuck in the bathroom once when the door handle came off in my hand as I went to exit. Although I <b>did</b> have a towel and <b>didn't</b> break any of myself, it was still the most embarrassing incident in my life to date, as I had to holler through a small upstairs window to anyone who might be outside the apt block and told them to ring the fire brigade. They suggested calling my hubby. Um, yes ok, much better idea. <br />Gee, I'm not sure I'd want to straighten my own broken toe, well done on that front!

Reminded me of the other night. I had Holly (the beagle puppy) in my arms as she was just home from her desexing operation and a bit groggy, KG was driving Rex (the adopted kelpie cross) to dog training......<br /><br />..... Holly is in my arms, it’s dark, KG is backing the car out and I am going to shut the gate before putting Holly down. He starts to back out, I move forward to the gate, don’t see the plank of wood (of course I should have known it was there), hit my shoe against it hard and start flying in the air, with dog in my arms, having enough time to think “Gee, I think Holly will break some bones here” – and crash to the ground harder than I should have. Unbelievably (and probably due to anaesthetic), Holly is fine, I however smashed my knee and hand quite hard, can’t move, look around to see KG still backing out and then driving off. <br /><br />I then called pathetically out to the kids as I needed help (well, more sympathy really, because I could walk, but I think after a fall like that one should have others run to their aid!). So, Patrick came, helped me up and I was fine. After KG got home I told him the incident, and said that I couldn’t believe he didn’t see me there crashed on the ground, in agony, in need of help, and he just drove off – he said he thought I was laying on the ground patting the dog and thought to himself “Gee Jill really does love that dog!”. So, I recovered of course, got a big bruise (disappointed it wasn’t bigger)!"Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-68229349138784052742009-06-05T03:32:41.178+02:002009-06-05T03:32:41.178+02:00Ow.

Sometimes you ...Ow. Ow. Ow. Hope it's mending.<br /><br />Sometimes you don't have any choice on the roaring front. I cracked a rib on the edge of the bath one morning (yes, Ms Clutz slipped while shaving her legs) and made so much noise that everyone in a 2km radius would have heard it. I even brought the shower curtain down as well, so there I was, wet, naked, howling *and* tangled up in a shower curtain and curtain rod.

A month or so ago, we had a farewell party for my old housemate moving to the UK.<br /><br />And my about 2am I was not in the most glamorous of states. I was wearing a tiny tartan skirt for kicks when my stomach aborted and I turned our bathroom into a horror movie set.<br /><br />The next morning Margo took great joy in telling me that she walked in to find me on the floor, with my jocks around my ankles and my bare white ass sticking out of the bottom of the skirt.<br /><br />I'm never drinking so much Jagermeister again.Benjamin Solahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10657105522335752577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-38791700530714001592009-06-04T23:51:24.255+02:002009-06-04T23:51:24.255+02:00Ooh I like your bookshelf!

It's good that you ...owowowowowowowowowowow!!!!<br />It's good that you straightened your toe immediately, if you'd left it there would have been swelling as well as bruising, so probably more pain getting it straight.
