The Old Folks Home

Ron, we chicken folks were suppose to win, right? Oh well....sigh....

I know! all my plans have changed now....Oh, there is a big powerball tonight!

I think the Son has powerball tickets already, I took a shower pulled steaks out for dinner
feel human.. Had my two cups of coffee really wanted the shower this morning

Didn't buy tickets. Won't buy tickets. Would rather have money in pocket. Think I read that the odds were 1 in 303 million to win. True it only takes one winning ticket but frankly those odds sux.

Miserable day for me. Late yesterday afternoon we were clearing away branches that we had trimmed from the bottom of a huge fir tree that is growing by our drive way so we could drive the cars under it and a branch sprang up as I lifted another branch and somehow the three inch long needles got under the bottom of my glasses. One needle got in my eye and felt like it passed between my eyeball and my eyelid. Hurt like sin. First thing I did was check for blood. No blood. That's good. Then made sure I could still see. Check. Went inside and looked in a mirror, groaned and went off in search of Doctor Honey. He got me in the exam chair and checked my eye. Seems as though I speared my eyeball right under the conjunctiva. Luckily the needle didn't 'penetrate' the globe so I was very lucky but man oh man do I have a sore eye.

Just what I needed. So beware of pine needles. Those things are MEAN!

Hugs, hope you are feeling better soon.

I am sorry to hear about the eye puncture!

Safety Goggles over the glasses? I need to wear them more often too

Boy were you lucky. And unlucky, another inch farther out and it would have deflected off your glasses. No harm, no pain!

Snow before Halloween? That's just abby-normal....IMHO and spoken like a true Missourian.

Safety glasses? Don't think they would have protected me much in this case as the needles brushed my cheek on their journey up to my eye. We used to remove metal from guys' eyes. They worked at a local factory where safety glasses were mandatory. Metal shavings still found their way over and under the glasses. Especially on windy days.
