Most accidents happen in the home
Tripping on the floor furnace grate is how mom broke her shoulder years ago - workman forgot to screw it back -
Do you have potable water now?
He had removed the floor air-conditioning vent, left it off, becoming distracted.
There was a hole in the kitchen floor! I was barefoot, but could it have made a difference if I caught my foot in there, barefoot or with shoes?
When living with spouse becomes too dangerous.......
You can't touch this!
hammer time
That happened one time when I was a patient in the hospital, the clanging alarm and those darn strobe lights. The lights made me so dizzy that if I stood up I would probably fall over. Of course this happened when I really needed to use the bathroom but the bathroom was in the hallway... no way I could get there unless I crawled with my eye closed. The fire dept also had a hard time turning the alarm/lights off.
Thankfully my regular electrical person will squeeze in time, it takes him on a few minutes to replace the batteries in the two alarms. Well worth whatever he charges me. No way would I try to set up a ladder at the top of the stairs and try to reach up without visions of fallen down those stairs. The electrician makes it look so easy.
"The Cussedness of Inanimate Objects."
Toast falling butter side down. Sellotape lying straight and serene until you try to apply it to whatever you're sticking, when it recoils into twisted bows. Door handles that grab your cardigan, but only when you're in a hurry to get to the phone. Pencils that wait 'til you're just out of the room but still within earshot before they start rolling and fall off the table.
I expect the smoke alarm is thinking "they'll never notice if I peep during the day. I'll wait 'til it's quiet..."
I don't think I have ever had a smoke alarm decide it needs a new battery in the middle of the day, it is always at OMG-it's-the-middle-of-the-night. Do you think they make them that way on purpose?
It was from prison that the Apostle Paul wrote much of the epistles, until the Lord's angels opened the prison doors, scaring the guards.
Seems Japan's elderly population - nearly 30% of the population - especially women have turned to shoplifting either out of need or loneliness and view being in prison as a haven where there's always people around and meals - guards though find they almost have to be nursing home attendants what with incontinance and the like
Goodnight to the cow, jumping over the moon.
Good night, book
Gasp! It was beautiful! I stopped and called out to oldest sister already reaching our porch and brother with his wife still by the car. I told them to look at the moon. I pointed up. I just stood there staring.... the moon was bright. There were no clouds around it. There was a Perfect widening circle around the moon. It was a perfect circle moving further from the moon and widening outward.
I turned to see if bro and SIL were looking at the moon. They were standing together and SIL was taking photos of it. Yes! It wasn’t as beautiful as the real phenomena but it’s evidence! I asked her to send me a copy by FB messenger. Knowing her, she’ll send it to WhatsAp which I don’t have (no smart phone.)
You know, I can see the hot dog/ice cream diet being tolerable and even fun when you're a teen girl. Your stomach is different then, somehow. You can eat all that junk food and it doesn't bother you, drink all that sugary soda, and your body seems to thrive on it during that time.
I had some friends, a couple, in Las Vegas who did the cayenne pepper and lemon water fasting diet once a year or so for 7-10 days. They swore by it. If you can get past the first 3 days, you probably would be so high on natural pain relievers and other chemicals your brain puts out when you starve yourself... lol... that it would be not too bad after that.
Google hot dog and ice cream diet - it'll pop up
My best friend in HS and I did it way back when
Because if not, I like Costco hot dogs.

I should go there and watch it set tomorrow.
