Tomorrow with the in laws will be interesting. The majority of the siblings and spouses are rabid conservatives while a couple of them and the majority of the 20 something generation are flaming liberals. Of course, I enjoy priming the pump and then stepping back to watch the mayhem.
I actually had a hand grinder with a 4" circular saw blade on it get bound up, then kicked out of my hands, flip around and get stuck in my stomach. I had a nylon shirt on so it bound up the blade (thankfully). The heat from the blade melted the shirt and cauterized the wound. It was stuck and I had to pull it out, slapped my hand across it and bend a bit to keep it from separating and guts spilling out. Fortunately, the cauterizing kept it all closed. I considered duct taping it and finishing the job before going to the ER but my wife insisted on ER first. It didn’t eviscerate me so the ER doc cleaned and stitched me up. She did debate on surgery while cleaning up the wound but decided stitches would be enough.
You dodged a bullet on that one buddy. I agree that women should not date someone that their dog is leery of. However, if she has her dogs so ill behaved that they climb on you… Dodged a bullet.
I was always attracted to ladies with a lot of “passion” or “fiery personality” when I was growing up. I bought into some of the stereotypes and always figured I would marry either a Latina or Irish lass. Never understood why people wanted a partner who didn’t challeng e them. Turned out I found one next door to my parents (they moved after I left home). We’ve been married 30.5 years now. She’s definitely very challenging and keeps me on my toes.
The back up cameras were originally created for safety. The allow you to see in areas hidden from view by the body of the vehicle. Kids like to hide behind the vehicle and then jump out and startle you. Or are focused and don’t pay attention. Then they would get backed over. It didn’t happen that often, but it did happen. I know a family who lost a child that way. It’s devastating. So the back up camera became a safety requirement. It has done a LOT for preventing smaller incidents also.
