Much as the prized crystal vase would be a loss, and a hefty weight for a toe to bear, may I contest this?

Try not one, but TWO sheets of MARBLE, purchased for pressing handmade books, on one, count it, ONE, big toe.

Do I win?

Stupid neighbors that you break your hand on....

West Virginia State College Fund allocation administrators who decide to undercut funding to archaeology departments forcing them to work on considerably smaller and relatively insignificant sites while potentially valuable prehistoric sites are left untouched....

have I mentioned copperheads before?

(But I'm a girl!!! My little toe is more delicate than your big boy toe. )

You're probably right, though I as a whole was very delicate after incident!

My little toe cries out in sympathy for your big toe.

Did you do it recently? Luckily mine was last year and I'm all better now, but will probably be in for a serving of arthritus in later years.

Yes very recently, just last week.

It kinda put the brakes on the whole moving of furniture thing. Good for me, I can only do light stuff...but bad for hubby.

Poor thing! Yeah it really lays you up, doesn't it. i mean, basically, yer just can't walk!

So is your other half sick of bringing you everything yet? Have you got a little bell?

I got me a bell, but that only works when the other party can hear. My other party has a selective hearing problem.

I'm not too badly off though, I have learnt to hobble effectively.

But any amount of sympathy you wanna dish my way will be most welcome and gladly accepted.

Well suffice to say I can empathise.

I saw three doctors, the first wrapped it up in bandages, the second added an aluminium splint, and the third removed everything and just told me not to knock it.

The third was the smart one!

PS : Poor Infelice.
PPS : There, there.

Sorry to change the subject, but sneezing is the work of the devil. I HATE SNEEZING! I don't mind it in the privacy of my own home, but I just know when I sneeze in public it's not gonna be pretty...

The smell from the dead skunk out in the middle of the road in front of my house is a horrid thing.

I have to admit, though, it is helping to clear out my sinuses.

*dead skunk in the middle of the road! stinkin' to high heaven!*

mmm speaking of smells ... rice crackers

Landwaster whats the deal with the rice cracker comment!! they no smelly!! rice crackers are the best!! no one diss's 'the rice cracker'!! SAKATA!! the crunchiest yummiest dynamic cracker experience ever!!

LOL...Copperheads are one of a bare handful of poisonous snakes we have in the States. Actually I only know of three: copperheads, cottonmouths, and water moccasins - although I think cottonmouths and water moccasins are the same thing. Or maybe it's copperheads and water moccasins.... ?


I've only ever seen a wild snake longer than a foot or so two or three times in my whole life.

Consider yourself lucky. Copperheads are named from their appearance but are a nastly little posionous snake that inhabit most of North America but is fairly common on the East Coast. Wandering thru hollows and trekking old fields searching for possible archaeo sites has led me into more than one nest of the vile little beasts.

I've ran into a coupler rattlers hiking in Nevada, but they're pretty easy to notice and avoid... and not really all that hard to catch, either, if you're so inclined. Just need a long forked stick.
