I was at a national healthcare convention last week and one of the presenters used that picture in a powerpoint presentation. They had another lovely example of how smart we can be. It was of a guy using an electric drill on an extension cord while standing on an aluminum ladder that he set up in shallow end of a hotel's indoor pool.
I've never understood why men risk their lives doing such things! My husband loves to watch car races and enjoys the 'thrill' of it. All I see are men that are risking their lives and limbs and are just plain cuckoo!!
On the other hand they say that a person can live more in 10 seconds of pure andrenaline pumping through your veins fear than a person can in 10 years sitting watching tv! Maybe there is something to the idiocy of thrill seeking people!
I love NASCAR races but, unlike a lot of folks, I don't enjoy the wrecks. I even fret about the drivers I don't like when they have an accident. Don't want them to win but don't want them to get hurt. Crazy, I know! I'm not what you'd call a thrill seeker so I guess I'll never feel that adrenaline pumping. A dear friend of mine asked me to go skydiving with him...honey, what are you smokin'???? Can't, won't, didn't! I think he's still mad at me! Ha!!!
I'm an "over the hill" gal who has a 16-year old trapped in this 65-year old body. I like rock music, new and old. I absolutely LOVE the Eagles, Don Henley in particular - be still my heart!!! I write sappy poetry. But it comes from my heart.

What can I say? We like building ladders out of tooth picks...

Hamburger:...and you're darn good at it!
WatchList: Sounds like that guy's auditioning for the Darwin Awards!
Jamie, you stole my thunder. I was going to say, "Future candidate for the Darwin Award".
I've got to be quicker on the draw.
Oh, I am ALL about the Darwin Awards! LOVE it!

The real reason men die before their wives?
Because they want to!
