I’ve only broken one bone in my life and it happened 3yrs ago.
I managed to get through my entire childhood without breaking anything then mangled my left ring finger at 56.

How did you do that Mel? Has it healed ok?

I once broke a finger by 'ending' a fist-fight.

I was really sick, dehydrated, no food for 4days, passing out every time I stood.
I only remember screaming as I passed out and fell. 🙄

No, it healed all screwed up, I’m going to need surgery. Ugh.

I hope they fix it without too much pain involved 🤗

The only time I've broken a bone in my life was in teaching my second son how to walk, little man holding onto my two index fingers as I walked behind him barefoot. One step I was swinging my foot forward when he lost balance and planted his leg right in my path just as my pinkie toe got there. Heard a loud crack like a gunshot, and at first was only concerned with not trampling my son as I fell. Only after I was on the ground did the pain hit, lol.

Because it was my pinkie toe with such tiny bones, the doc said no splint needed, just taped my pinkie to the next toe in line, gave me a prescription for ibuprofen and two weeks' exemption from running (I was military at the time).

Fast forward 16 years and my toe is so curled up in a ball it looks nothing like the rest of my toes. (Doesn't seem to hamper my ability to balance or exert force with my foot, just looks weird.)

Forgot about breaking my toe until you said that. Kicked the dog.
I was used to feeding 40 pound bags, but for some reason we had 50 pound bags for a while. I was barefoot, walking across the driveway, carrying more weight than I was used to, and almost more than I could handle, when the dog came running by and ran into me. I tripped, tried not to fall, and somehow while flailing around trying to stay upright, kicked the dog hard. I don’t know who was more surprised or more hurt, him or me. At least he didn’t have any broken bones.

Would you disagrees like to say why you disagree with me believing?
Why do you care what I believe?

I had the guts to say it,
I’ll back it up, will you?

I knew you did. 💓
I like them too.
I don’t know what they are, I don’t believe all the sightings.
Some I do, they are something more than men in ape suits imo.

There was a cool documentary on Netflix a couple of years back - whether you believe or not it was very entertaining! Now I want to watch it again lol.

I have an uncle who loved watching WWII movies growing up, learned German for the express purpose of seeing if the German spoken in the movies was actually translated correctly in the subtitles. Answer: yes.

honey_honey_12

The post above got me thinking.

As a kid, for some reason, I always watched the old movies from the late 1930s, 1940s, some 1950s.
I have watched so many WWII movies multiple times.
I am still watching old movies that were old when I was kid.
Many I’ve seen repeatedly over the last 50yrs.

It makes me sad that the majority of young people show no interest.

So, here is a little 4th of July Let Me Know You a Little Better experience from my past.

I've always been the go to for parties and other fun things. I like to think it's because I've always had the land but in reality I think some of it has to do with the stupid "here hold my beer and watch this" *kitten* I end up doing before the nights over. It's all good though, I've got awesome friends who have not let me die. Yet.

So, the way the 4th of July used to work was like this. It was an all day affair. Literally, people started showing up at the butt crack of dawn to help start setting up.

The spread of food covered that mornings breakfast all the way through the day to "it's almost sunrise, were sloppy *kitten* drunk, and any nasty concoction sounds gourmet".

Fireworks, we had thousands of $ in them. The rule was whatever everyone spent I'd match. This specific year we had so many we had 3 people lighting them off, sometime in series and sometimes in parallel, and couldn't light off all of them. Mortars, cakes, yada yadda yadda. We didn't have as many daytime fireworks but we had a bunch and were shooting them off and on all day.

We started with roman candles. I told ol' boy NOT to hold them in his hand. They do explode sometimes. Yep, he didn't listen and the *kitten* blew up in his hand. Luckily it was about 1/2 way up the candle and it wasn't' towards him. I told him so. :shrug:

Then we go to mortars. I built a stand to launch them out of with, I think 4 or 5 tubes. I don't trust the tubes that come with them; not stable enough IMHO.

I was the dumb *kitten* this time. I lit a mortar before putting it in the tube, then dropped it in the tube. In my defense the fuse was cut short on this one so if I dropped it in I wouldn't have been able to light it. After dropping it in someone yells "He put it in upside down! Run!". Yep, I did. It exploded in the tube a couple feet from me. Luckily I was using my super duper, highly modified, extra strong launcher tube so the explosion was contained and no one was hurt. In hind sight I should have put it in the tube but held onto the fuse, lit it, then let go.

The last fun incident happened when ol' boy didn't listen to me again. I put a sheet of plywood to launch this stuff off of. Partially because I don't want my grass effed up but also because some smaller cakes are not heavy enough to solidly rest in the grass. This dumb *kitten* didn't put a cake that had multiple 1" shots on the plywood. Guess what happened? First shot sent that *kitten* on it's side, shooting sideways. and each shot caused the cake to turn so you never knew where the next shot was going. Everyone else hauls *kitten* as I go running at the box. I was able to grab it and turn it right side up and hold onto it but I was a little salty.

That was the last year we started drinking so early in the day on the 4th.

Learn from my mistakes, kids.

This year is gonna be epic. The party starts when I pick up the first couple guests from the airport at about 1000 tomorrow morning and don't quit until we're done water skiing Monday evening.

I love to be outdoors again.
