  10. Trying to give the abridged version. Installing a 100 lb. beam solo in a clients kitchen ceiling. Adjusting base of supporting post. Beam falls and drives my head into the floor. I don't think I was knocked out for long as the blood only really started to flow when I stood up trying to figure out what had just happened. My first thought was that I was going to make a big mess bleeding all over the house and how would I get it cleaned up before the owners returned. Fortunately I had put down lots of drop sheets. This happened just a year ago so I grabbed a chunk of snow and towel to make a tourniquet turban to try and slow the bleeding. My glasses were crushed under the beam but somehow I was lucky enough to call the contractor I was doing this work for and he sent someone over. My next thought was maybe I better clean myself up a bit in case this guy has not seen "Carrie" before. Sort of felt like Steve Buschemi in "Fargo ", when he's hiding the money, not the log chipper part. So instead of driving to the nearest hospital, I decided to go home first to get some spare specs and go to my more local hospital. Felt a little weird driving around in my bloody turban but in the end, my neighbour took me into emergency. Showing up looking like the winner in an axe fight (I assume loser is dead) moves you to the head of the line and in 3 hours and 5 staples and 1 CAT scan I was out of there. Just to avoid complications, I explained to admitting that a wall mounted speaker had fallen on my head. A big, wall mounted speaker. Maybe this wasn't the abridged version.
  11. Oh yeah I remember those sheets. Pretty thin stuff too. And on the cubicle wall beside was written; "Carleton University Diploma.....take one"

  13. She doesn't always do it, but I had a long deep tissue massage from Sensual Erin once that was 'electric'. I really was tingling.
  14. Yes, that reminds of the old rhyme: Here I sit, broken hearted. Paid a dime and only farted.
  15. Let's go way down that melancholy road to what would eventually be a sad end to a couple of talented musicians, Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger. Without You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnb5JeK1hOo&feature=related Although Harry Nillson had a major hit with this song and most people associate it as his, the Badfinger original version has always been my favourite. Ultimately, the authors really could not live without whatever it was they needed and both ended their lives by suicide.
