Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Hypothetically Speaking - - -

.

Fifty-six year old women have no business trying to stand on top of one of these to reach into a high cupboard when they are packing to move.

I'm just sayin' - - -

Not that I'd personally know from experience or anything.

I'll live, but one of my finger nails may not.

LV said...: That was not a wise move on your part. Something a lot more important could have broken. At your age, you should know better. Take care and do not over do it.; October 20, 2010 at 3:36 PM
podso said...: Oh dear! Glad it's only a fingernail. I have the same stools and have been seen up on them, and of course I know better.; October 20, 2010 at 4:10 PM
shannon i olson said...: Those buggers are dangerous and I avoid any contact other than my butt. :); October 20, 2010 at 4:17 PM
Pam said...: Please don't sue the giver of said stools; I believe the statue of limitations has run out anyway! (And I'm the sister lacking in common sense?); October 20, 2010 at 6:01 PM
Debby@Just Breathe said...: We are not as young as we feel in our heart. Glad you okay!; October 20, 2010 at 6:23 PM
Lori R. said...: oooohhhhhhhh BOY! Ya know, eventually your luck will run out and you may do some major damage! We wouldn't want to find out you broke your "keester"!
Good luck with packing at ground level!; October 20, 2010 at 6:26 PM
grammy said...: Ouch...that had to hurt!!! What good medical advice did you receive?? My moving advice would be...please use ladder for high places!!!!; October 20, 2010 at 8:08 PM

Theresa said...: Naughty, naughty shouldn't do!
Keetha might break a thing or two!

Hope you are OK, have a blessed day! HUGS!; October 21, 2010 at 5:23 AM
Patti @ Pandoras Box said...: I was thinking the EXACT thing when I got on top of my teacher desk at school the other day to fix the clock...my charming students told me the desk was "sagging" in the middle and apparently I hopped off just in time to prevent a gorge from occuring...the formica top is a bit crackled...I am unscathed...another teacher survival moment! In retrospect it could have been a nice few weeks off from school.; October 21, 2010 at 6:43 AM
Kristin - The Goat said...: We are truly fortunate that a fingernail was the only body part given in sacrifice.

Angie said...: Did you hear that? From LV? "...at your age..."? And MY four-pennyworth? Wrap a BandAid around each fingertip so no nails get damaged. Binding them up will also give you a little moment to muse upon the other possible consequences. Heck, you might have scratchedd the paintwork!

Truly though, I'm glad you're ok; October 22, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Tonja said...: I have those stools, too. Not only is it hard to get up on them.....it is even harder to get down! If things were just not up so high! What's a girl to do, but climb...and pray!; October 22, 2010 at 11:51 AM
