Stressed

[I luv herfrds]

Ok guys I'm going to have to laugh or I'm going to lose my mind.
Yeah I know, what mind, right? :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

For some reason the stain is peeling off of our log home. Then right before we left for my grandma's funeral it was pouring rain we discovered the patio started leaking, big time. Got that taken care of yesterday. Didn't leak last night.
Found a north window also leaking water in the last storm, found out that was the one window hubby forgot to seal when he stained the house, got it yesterday too. A couple more small leaks that will just have to wait til it quits raining again and dries out.
Oh well.

How about some funny stories?
I need the laugh's.

A woman golfer suffers a terrible bee sting and leaves the course to go see her doctor about it.

"What happened" asked the doctor.

"I got stung between the first and second hole," replied the lady golfer.

The doctor replied, "You must have an awfully wide stance!"

ILH, one step at a time. Yesterday was one of those days for me. I put out one fire at a time and ignored what I couldn't handle and let a few things stew in my brain while I did the simple stuff and today everything looks a whole lot better.

Misty Morning, God gives you ten fingers so that if you lop a couple off you'll still be OK. I lost my left index and middle finger to a hay shredder about fifteen years ago and haven't missed them since. The best part was the phantom pains that I had for a few years. If my head itched I could scratch it with an imaginary index finger and the itch would actually stop as if I had scratched it. :???:

Ga Prime, :clap: Love it. I keep bees. When you work bees at night, they crawl up your pantlegs... I once got stung on the bottom of each of "them" simultaniously in conjuntion with a few more in the general vicinity within a short period of time... I know it sounds horrible, but after the first few seconds of OUUUCH!!!! it was not all that un-pleasant...Quite euphoric... Not that I'd willingly do it again, just that it wasn't all that bad.

Are you going to keep bringing this up? Until you get enough sympathy? Geez.

Cool, did your Doc. keep prescribing percocet for that?

Yes!

 

[john250]

Do you have it in a jar on your desk?

Haven't you learned you'd come nearer finding sympathy in the dictionary between spit and syphillis than on CT? ;-)

 

[cow pollinater]

I don't know what percocet is but I took one Vicodin and didn't like the way it made me feel so I did it drug free. I was back at work on the same machine in three days.

I sliced through one of my fingers with a table saw.

Yikes!! All the way thru?? My uncle did that, he was deaf his whole life and he couldn't hear he had left the saw running. He was up in his 70's at the time, his eyes weren't very good anymore either and he didn't see the blade was spinning. He "modified" 3 fingers, one the tip was not found, the other two were re-attached around the first knuckle and more or less healed. They stayed alive but I don't think he ever got the feeling back in them. What's YOUR excuse??

ILH, that has to be very frustrating, putting so much work and money into your new home and having things go bad you would never expect. Just keep plugging at it. You are going to have a beautiful home when it is done.

 

[I luv herfrds]

ga.prime that was a good one, gotta tell hubby that one. Son kept asking what was so funny, I wouldn't tell him. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

cow pollinator that must have been a bad time. OUCH!

Geeze Jo that was a good one too. :lol2:

Mo it was fustrating, but once it quits raining and dries out we are going to try to plug every leak.

Thanks guys I needed the laughs. I feel better, now if I could just get my brain back to functioning all would be doing good. ;-)

Don't make me go all caps lock on your axes!

Axes and dangling fingers don't sound good together. What truly would have been bad had your pup run off with it. Or to hear what the doctor asked me, "where is the other one?" :shock:

This is the first I've heard about your finger. I hope you are alright and I hope they gave you some of that really good stuff for the pain.

Thanks Jo, it was dangling, but the emergency room fella tossed some stiches on it and it looks like I will keep it. It also looks like, as my darling sweet daughter says "mummified". (can't wait till that one leaves for college, hope she makes it into one on a coast somewhere)

As far as the drugs go, when they asked me what my pain level was I rolled on my stomach and said "get something good and shoot it in there stat"!

 

[Jogeephus]

Glad you are on the mend. Its amazing what they can do.

:lol2: :lol2: I know what you mean. Can't think of the name of the one that goes in the but-cheek but I sure am glad I can't buy it over the counter. I love the way it just sweeps you away better than any Calgon ever could and there's no telling what it would do if it didn't have to cut the pain. Stuff is wonderful though.

 

[hillsdown]

OMG MM I am so sorry that you went through that. How terrifying . Prayers that your hand will be as good as new and that everything heals fast .

Hope that days are getting easier for you too ILH .

 

[cow pollinater]

I can honestly say that I'm glad my fingers were beyond repair. I think It was probably easier to just learn to go without them than try to rehab them once they'd been dangling like that. Good luck on your recovery, Mistymorning.
ILH, since we hijacked your thread, here's a funny story for you that's related to the topic on hand, no pun intended:
I was five miles from my parents' house, ten miles from my house, and twenty miles from a hospital on the morning (Thanksgiving morning at that) that I lost my fingers. I drove a stick-shift(steering with my injured left hand) truck to my parents place and got dad to drive me to the hospital...
Well, my dad doesn't like blood to much. :nod:
We drove all the way to the hospital on a four lane highway at about thirty five miles an hour in third gear(In a truck with four speed plus overdrive) and the AC on high despite the frost outside. We got to the ER and I told the nurse "we had a little accident" and she jumped out from behind the desk and grabbed my dad by the arm and guided him to a wheelchair and we all walked into the back. It took them a few minuted to notice that my index finger was peeled like a potato to where the tip was hanging about a foot down from the rest of my hand. They were to busy trying to figure out what was wrong with my dad:mrgreen:
To this day I can't even talk about it without my dad turning pale. The first year I drew one of those kids Thanksgiving turkeys where they outline their hand and put legs and a beak on it and hung it on mom's fridge and he blew his dinner all over the back yard about five minutes after he saw it. :lol2:

That's a great story, cow pollinater. It says a lot about you that you can laugh about it.

Dated a girl many years ago who's father lost an arm just above the elbow in a corn picker. Luckily, his brother was within earshot or he probably would have died. As it turned out it didn't slow him down a bit and he lived to be almost ninety.
