I thought I had out grown it...........but tonigh proved me wrong......

I was stabbing the potatoes (making baked potatoes with supper tonight) minding my own business when I missed the potatoe and stabbed myself in the hand.

It's not hospital-visit-worthy, but definatley prety bad.

Peace Out

I am accident prone. At the end of September last year I tripped going up the stairs and caught the fourth finger of my right hand on the screen door. Went to the doctor and had xrays and found out that it was broken. No surgery but I had to wear a splint and have physical therapy for about three weeks. The part that makes me feel really stupid is that my financial advisor was a witness to my stupidity.

I don't think I am. I rarely have accidents

I'm very accident-averse. My family knows me to be very cautious.

I don't have accidents very often, but occasionally...

I was a lot more klutzy when I was younger. Case in point: I was waddling around my room as a 7-year-old tot, hefting my entire fortune in my piggy bank. Well actually, it wasn't a "piggy" bank; it was a modified post office box with the combination lock on it. The upshot is, I was carrying around a large wooden box with sharp edges on it. As I toddled into the hallway, I tripped on a truck I was just playing with. I fell face first right onto--you guessed it--the sharp edge of my bank. It just missed my eye!

I was promptly taken to hospital in my PJ's (it was at night) to stitch my eyelid up.

Well, I... Whoops! *trips down a flight of stairs, flies out the window, lands in a dumpster [knocking it over], rolls into the street and his hit by a semi-truck, carreens into the lake, and is pivoted into a time vortex and transported back to the stone age transformed into a one legged duck.*

No. No I am not.

I'm generally not prone to accidents. There are off days, of course, but they are generally few and far between. *realizes that by saying this, self is sentenced to several consecutive accident filled weeks.* lol.

Don't joke...........I could very easily do such.

My mom often made the comment while I was growing up that my grandparents had 6 children..........and with 6 kids they were not in the ER nearly as often as my mom was with just me..........It's a tallent.

Peace Out

Not majorly. But I always manage to trip over things, stumble over my own feet and just be as un-graceful as one could possibly be. And yes, there is a word for it: klutz

I don't think I'm accident prone. Of courseI have my share of them here and there like we all do.

I appear to make an art of finding the most original way to get hurt.......and then carrying out those acts.........when it's truely unintentional, yet you have the most accidents and the most original accidents of most of your friends, you know you really are tallented at being in accidents.

Peace Out

Im accident prone. Yesterday I was cutting a piece of paper and cut my finger with the scissors. It was horrible and it hurt really bad.

This must be bad.............same day, two different ToOers........two different parts of the country..........two different activites, but both cut a finger.

I think AIO fans are on average more accident prone than most people............the first couple summers of existence of the TH the majority of members (even though it was much smaller then) got injured.

Peace Out

I used to be the biggest klutz in the world. My friends and family would always tease me because I could barely walk without hurting myself. The past few years have proven to be much better for me which I am very thankful for.

I think we can blame Harlow Doyle for that. "He makes my fingers hurt."

I wouldn't consider myself accident prone. While I trip and get paper cuts and stuff, the degree and quantity of accidents that some people here appear to suffer from is far beyond what I've experienced! $\:D/$

It's definitely Harlow Doyle's fault! Everything bad that happens to ToOers is connected to Harlow and his Pop-Tart addiction, for reasons that I don't understand.
