Title: Life lesson....
Post by: EX#996 on April 14, 2004, 08:06:31 PM
... I learned today NOT to bend down next to a grinder that is running with long hair that is not tied back.

Dang my head hurts!   :o   :-/

Dawn   ;)

(Yes I still have all my hair, but I'm feeling pretty stupid)

Bummer. :'(

Ever see the South Park episode with the shop teacher? "You kids screw around too much"

Never watch South Park - too annoying for my tastes.

My head is starting to feel better now....  it's almost funny.  I just bent over to pick something up as and just got a little to close to the dang thing!  

Paul's bike is transforming.....  It's really exciting to see it take shape.

And I thought getting my hair wound around the creeper wheel under the car was bad.

Glad you're alright.

 Holy cats, glad you're alright. Tie it up or braid it. Did you lose a lot of it to the wheel?

Nope didn't loose a hair.  Fortunately it was on the brush side of the grinding wheel.

In 8th grade shop class a girl was scalped  in a grinder incident.  Well maybe not scalped, but lost a chunk of hair and skin.  This when the bangs were big as well as the wings!

Dawn, it's supposed to be "nose to the grindstone".  Sheesh.   ::) ;)



Seriously, glad you didn't get hurt worse.

Dawn.. glad you didn't get hurt.

Life Lesson #2.
Never ever try to carve a totem pole out of a no. 2 pencil with an exacto knife. You might accidentally stab yourself in the stomach like me.

It sounds dumb but you should get a box of hair nets if you do that kind of work often.  

I have a nasty habit of getting my face to close to the wheel of my hand grinder.  Not so close as to cut my self but when I change angle I occassionally get a face full of sparks...  go safety glasses!  Usually leaves a burnt-hair smell for a while still.

***Semi-related Story***
When I was in tech school a fellow student got solvent in his eye as he wasn't wearing goggles.  He asked me what he should do, I suggested he put his face under the sink and wash his eye out.  He refused as he didn't want to mess up his hair!  I shook my head half an hour later when the ambulance took him out in a stretcher...  He got to wear an eye patch for a few days...

Yeah, my basset hound learned a similar lesson last night too.

Don't scratch your ears with long nails.  The dew claw got caught in his lower eyelid.  He freaked out and my walls shook as he wailed trying to get it out.  Kudos to my boy Queue who jumped into action freeing ole Chiefer.

(now only if I[/u] could have that Lara Croft body!)

Which reminds me of life lesson #3:

Never squat with your spurs on. :o

Glad you're alright, D.

I did that ALOT a few years ago. Grew my hair out and into a pony tail just to annoy my mom.:D After a few HUNDRED times getting caught in the wheels, I just cut it off.
