Now, a deep bleeding gash doing manly work, or a broken limb, now THOSE are worthwhile injuries. Pulled groin muscles and lower back pain just makes me feel like a geezer.<BR/><BR/>TenS, usually it's a race to see who gets hurt first--me or Miz. We're both tied for trips to the ER requiring stitches, but she's ahead of me in ankle and back injuries. I lead in burns. As for the kids, I constantly temper my comments with the knowledge that if I piss them off too badly I'll end in a home, or in the gutter. Glad to meet a kindred soul.<BR/><BR/>Katy, good luck with that attic. I only have a crawlspace up there so I'd get dizzy in a real attic, all that space.<BR/><BR/>Melinda, the ibuprofen/bourbon cure has worked for me for years. It's a winner! Well, I think it is. We'll see how my stomach lining looks in 20 years.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27540291.post-1160423247636000362006-10-09T15:47:00.000-04:002006-10-09T15:47:00.000-04:00that completely sucks, but think of the positives....that completely sucks, but think of the positives...gobbling ibuprofen and Wild Turkey is always a bonus.

It hurts too much as an adult. Additionally, my two little lovelies also seem to need to be *motivated* to do their chores. How did I raise such lazy children? Can't they see we are old and tired?Tenacious Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133857720793708520noreply@blogger.com
