That Smarts!

Ouch. That sounds like me. Chuckling with you.

*chuckling* Poor poor wittle Dawn toesie. You didn't put a hairline fracture in there, didja? Good save on the beads, though!

Hahahahahaha!! OUCH!!!! ((((((hugs)))))) Oh, life's little cosmic bitch slaps....

Lol! Maybe we say it "smarts" to make us feel better when we do something stupid?

Thanks for not chuckling AT me.....=o)

No...toes ar fine, but I AM considering some off-road tires for my office chair!

Thanks...It's all about the beads.

Dawn

OOOOH, i'm telling, you said the "S" word...LOL

Just kidding. I"m sorry you hurt your foot, that just sucks. How did the beads turn out?

OMG...I almost wet my pants laughing! That's got to be what it was!

Dawn

Probably so. But instead, I opted to INVENT curse words when it happened! It's a wonder the neighbors didn't come running. The cats heard me though, cause when I went limping inside to nurse the digits, both cats were waiting at the door to see what the commotion was all about! LOL!

Dawn

LOL! Your poor toe! That sounds like something I would do. Actually, my escapade would have involved burning the crap out of my fingertips by touching the hot part of the mandrel when I took the earlier bead out of the kiln. That puts a stop to any sensation of superiority *real* quick!

The beads turned out perfect. They survived the incident much better that the toes, but even the toes are feeling much better today! =o)

Dawn

Fortunately the bead that had already been in the kiln was only in there for about 5 min. I know how those mandrels can heat up. But I can grab some pretty hot stuff, cause I used to do electrical assembly which involved a lot of soldering. And have you ever heard that when you burn your finger, you're supposed to grab your ear lobe? I guess the idea is that your ear lobe draws the heat out. Well I did this a few times when the wire I was holding got too hot and it seemed to work great. But then I burned the end of my finger pretty bad, and when I grabbed my ear lobe, it blistered it! LOL! Talk about adding insult to injury! I could literally write a book entitled "100 Stupid Ways to Injure Yourself". Everything from setting my hair on fire to breaking all ten toes at once! My mother is amazed that I made it to adulthood! LOL! Now that I'm 41, the incidents are fewer and farther between, but every once in a while......=oO

Dawn

ROFLMAO

Sorry

That's okay Debbie. Now that my toes feel better, I'm laughing with you. Maybe the public humiliation will help keep me from doing things like that. =OI ....nah!

Dawn

Believe me, I'm not laughing at you at all. I do things like that all the time. My favorite trick is when there is nothing on the floor and I trip over my feet. I start to roll my chair over to my beading or polyclay table and the chair stops but I keep going. The first time my husband saw that he laughed til he almost wet his pants.

So I have lots of sympathy for your toes.

Hugs,

They really should consider making office chairs with big tires for those of us that like to do a little 'off the chair mat' cruising. I've dumped myself out of the chair on more than one occasion. Once at work, with a room full of visiting VIP's. Doh! ...LOL! Dawn

Oh how embarrassing. I would love to have big tires. Maybe I will have to see if my husband can make me one with big tires. lol
