➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Could we cyber kick each other's butts if we lag too long? Maybe some taunting of sorts?

Absolutely. A good boot up the ass never hurt nobody!

Brutal. Sounds like a not fun time. Whereabouts were you? There's so much of Colorado that I would love to see and only a few places that I've been.

I used to go to a camp in Loveland. Not sure exactly where the hike was, but it was a beautiful trail.

We buy huge jars of Spanish olives stuffed with bits of pimentos. I think I was in high school when I learned that fresh olives have a pit in the middle instead.

Oh, yeah!!! I forgot about Spanish olives - those are the most delicious of all! I love the ones that are stuffed with blue cheese. They're like crack.

Gorgeous!!! I've been to Loveland, but only to drink...

Haha! I was too young for that, and at the wrong sort of camp.
Next time.

Hey, me too!!! On both counts. I was totally one of those kids with bandaids on their knees at all times. I once slipped on my way to the bus stop and ended up with a chunk of gravel stuck in my forehead in addition to road rash on my hands. I used to swing on my mom's big potted plant that she had hung by the stairs. I would run, leap and swing like Tarzan off the other side. She constantly told me not to do this. Once, when we were home alone, I did it (of course) and the pot came off the hook and broke on my head. Blood EVERYWHERE! Sliced the side of my face open and my forehead. I remember my dad losing his $hit when he pulled up on his motorcycle and saw his daughter on the deck screaming and covered in blood.
I have fallen out of trees, fallen out of trees into other trees, fallen off four wheelers, multiple bike accidents including one where my brakes went out in the middle of the woods and my leg got impaled and stuck to a tree. That was disgusting pulling my leg off and having a huge hole. Not to mention I was in the middle of the woods and had to wrap my leg with tree leaves (fat lotta good that did). Think I was in third grade on that one.
Walked into a pile of plywood in the dark sneaking out of the tree house and bashed my shin something fierce, slipped off a rope swing and fell on the mud bank instead of into the water, pretended to be a dancer on my bed and used my bed frame as a pole - it snapped and I went flying across the room and all the skin on my hand slid up around my wrist... I mean, I could go on, but I've rambled long enough.

Ok, I don't feel quite so clumsy now.

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Oh geez! I’m not THAT clumsy (or adventurous!) hahaha. The little surgery scar on my hand was from tripping over a laptop cord with a plate of ribs and landing on the smashed plate. I had a chunk of ceramic in my hand for two months before finally getting it cut out.
The dog bite on my face is from hugging a moody blue heeler as a little girl.. and its highly probable all the stupid brain issues now are from/were worsened from having multiple concussions in the same month while riding horses as a teenager.
Most of the other scars involve either angry cats or me not knowing how to use a kitchen knife properly (oops).

Of course, bruises are another story. If I had a dollar for every unexplained bruise I get... I could pay off my whole tuition.

Speaking of kitchen knives....
I worked with someone who was wiping her kitchen counter. She bumped a chef's knife, which fell off the counter. It impaled the top of her foot, severing all of the tendons! Ouch & ack!

Aren't the skies there just crazy? So colorful and crisp.
Should you return when you are of age (and interested, of course), might I recommend Big Beaver Brewery? Every beer has a hilarious and kinda dirty name and they're good! Bust a nut brown was my favorite. Closely followed by the Wonder Wiener wheat. They have hilarious merch too!

I'm quite sure I was/am in a realm all my own when it comes to clumsiness!

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Bruises love me too.

I used to bruise very easily...not so much anymore but I will still sometimes wonder where I get one.

My legs look really weird if there isn't a bruise. 99% if the time I have no idea how I got them. They don't even hurt.

I just finished the season. It got better. I didn't use to like sci-fi kind of stuff but we stumbled on Orphan Black and it changed. I like heavy drama for the most part. Ozark was a REALLY good one! Especially if you liked Breaking Bad. Try THAT...I know with 100% certainty that you'll love it.

Not quite done watching Orphan Black. Really good show. That actress does such an amazing job playing so many roles.
