mom use to say dont run with sharp objects. (new home, law)

[RANGER.101ST]

remember when mom use to tell you dont run with sharp objects or a million other dont's.well today i was reminded the most important lesson of mom's wisdom ([b]WATCH WHAT YOUR DOING[b]) ok boys and girls pay attention becouse this could happen to you some day.as most of you know we are moveing to our new homeso today we loaded up the truck with some things and as im ready to leave my wife comes out and says shouldnt you tie some of this stuff down? i should have just left with out telling herno i said it will be ok.then she says what if some of it falls off the truck?so after a cpl min i gave in (its easyer to give in) and shut the truck off and went and got some bungee straps and put them on.on my last bungee strap i had to climb up on the top.so hear i am on my knees on top of a load of house hold goods.i have dw hook one end of the strap and i grabed the other and i pulld it tight.i needed like one more inch so i pulld a little harder.this is where the watch what your doing comes in.as im pulling harder her end comes undone.i felt it let go and right then i knew it was going to be bad and i knew it was going to hurt.that thing whiped up over the top of the load and i see it but i couldnt move it was like slow motion.and then slam it got me.right in the hmmhmmm.yup thats right you know what hmmhmmm means.i fell off the truck and puked.and my loveing queen my lady love was helping me by laughing.so after a while i got up and i hurt and she says is there any thing i can do to help?no dear you have helped more then enough thanks.i dont remember it hurting that bad when i was a kid.

So sorry Ranger to hear of your misfortune! However, if you had just go ahead and driven the truck AND some of you household items fell off and got destroyed - then what would the pain feel like when you told your wife?

Ouch! I was cringing while reading, knew it was coming.

[Elcarim]

I can't think of a thing to say here, except sorry you got an owie!

You can always tell the wife you're now on a month of disability!

[peachie_in_maine]

Eee
I too was cringing. Kind of like looking away while looking- eyes squinting as to be looking on while the sun is beaming through a car window.

Ouch Ranger!!

The laughing was/is symathy laughs

Sometimes a kiss will make the boo-boo all better. You prolly don't want DW to kiss the boo-boo right now though.

Sorry to hear that you got hurt, Ranger. Murphy's law again. But then, they say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Maybe you'll be, ah, better, stronger?

Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I remember one time my hubby's boss called me to say he had been to taken to the ER. He had been working on an engine and some overhead chain broke free from somewhere and he heard it coming and only managed to turn a little bit. It caught him on the side of the nose, which was bad enough. If he hadn 't turned it would of caught him in the eye.
Ok, so what does the big lug do......






he goes and tells everyone I hit him. LOL

I'm sorry you're hurtin' Ranger. What an unfortunate accident. I have to admit, if I were in your wife's shoes ..... I would have laughed too. It's like those "Funniest Videos",... you know it hurt but, it catches you off guard.
