an object if you shake the ladder it is placed on? That's right it will
fall. Luckily I happened to be standing there holding the ladder. I

the drill by the chuck with my thumb and forefinger of my previously

hand. After accepting congratulations from DH and his mate, I went
inside
and had a quiet cry over the pain. Then I went and had a strong coffee
and
thanked the heavens that the hole cutter part on the end of the drill (2
wickedly sharp saw points) had not been facing down when I caught it -
otherwise you could have put my hand on the barbie and called me a
kebab!

Oh, Sharon! What luck that you didn't catch it the other way. I'm so
sorry that you hurt your injured hand, though -- you simply must go have
some S.E.X. to compensate and get your mind off of it all....

Ouch! Gotta watch that instinct. I've Done similar things. One reason I
don't use curling irons anymore.

My hand hasn't recovered 100% from injuring it last Nov, so I know how you
feel. I hurt mine last night when I had to get up for my son in the night.
Ouch! (He was struggling with insomnia)

I normally do stay inside - just I can't bear to see him up a ladder because
(as is the rest of his family) he is very clumsy. So little old me has to
go out and hold the ladder.

DD was at a CPR seminar this weekend. One thing that was brought up was
'dialing 911'
(To set the scene--these are all pilots/EMT's/firefighters )

teacher says ' dial 9 11 '

DD whips out her cell phone and says--"there's NO 11 "

Butterfly (now just how many of you read that as 1 1 ? she did NOT say
1 1 she said 11
Teacher did say: someone IS paying attention here; it's the details that
MAY save a life )

IMO - 911 is 9-1-1 and 9 11 is the date. I think your DD was correct!
Good for her!
