Friendly advice, be the hero of the neighborhood, buy the full size candy bars and make a child's night next week. It's good for the soul.
We do that every year. It's cheaper than the bags of BS on a per kid basis.
Headed to Anchorage tomorrow for a 2 week maintenance school on an airplane I have 7 years of experience working on. There are 4 of us in the class & I’m probably the least experienced on this airframe of the bunch. I’ll get something out of it, but it’s gonna be an exercise in staying awake. It’s a wonder the company hasn’t gone bankrupt doing stuff like this….
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Sitting at the ER waiting….. I should have listened to my wife and gone to docs during the week! You’ve all seen Ricky’s ass on vherf, here’s mine. file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/40/00/4B3A8BCA-A632-4B56-9B46-FEEBA3DB6570/IMG_2994.heic
Ouch!! I'm guessing slick freezer floor? I once had my whole left leg turn that color from a load of steel falling on the calf of the leg. Ruptured some tendons. Doc's were certain that it was broken leg until the x-rays came back. Then they did a bone density scan and told me that my bones were comparable to Samoans in density. Must be the Neanderthal DNA.
That will turn all sorts of lovely shades of green and yellow before you're through. Be careful! You won't be wanting to fall on it again.

Normally I would have just stacked 5 gallon pails up and climbed on them. This time I put a stack of pallets and a step ladder, to be safer! Stepped onto to the ladder off the pallets, next thing I knew, I was on the floor! Hit my head on some tubs of ice cream! ER doc says nothing broke, cat scan on head all good! Going to hurt for a while though!

I'm glad nothing broke and that you'll likely heal up just fine. Isn't that just a man's luck? Trying to be safer and get screwed over!

Goin' down on your bum is better than goin' down on your front. Glad your'e ok. Funny how easily we bruise when we get older.
Pulled into my alley about an hour ago and the alley lights were out and I could see flashing lights at the other end of the alley. So I drove down there and a fireman blinked his flashlight as if to say "turn around, you moron". A neighbor told me that a transformer blew and there were some live wires dangling so they were looking for fires and trying to keep people from getting fried. We had some high winds, like 60mph gusts, so we shouldn't be surprised.
At least I have a good cigar to sit in the candle light and chill out. No wifi, so no vherf... Just me, myself, and I...good conversation so far.

Machine was built in 1965, refurbished in 1987 when I bought it. It’s just old, like me! We did get some oversized O Rings. That’s my next step!

We haven't had a trick or treater in 35 years, so we buy a bag of the "fun size"just in case. If I buy the full size bars I will eat them.
We do that every year. It's cheaper than the bags of BS on a per kid basis.
Anybody beating on my door with a mask on out here in the woods will be met with a shotgun.
Kids these days already get too much candy.

Pic didn’t work. Try this!
Wrong thread @peter4jc ? Should go in bum of the week!
Link doesn't work, maybe just as well, lol. Good luck whatever it is though I was hoping for an o-ring update.
edit: yow. !
What the hell Charlie?????
I had one of those once, playing baseball drunk, slid into 1st base.
You should have had a safe word
All jokes aside, glad you’re OK

So glad you are bruised but not broken. If you don't have one already get a smart watch with fall detection:

Stay safe, Peter!
i neglected to put the carafe back into the coffee brewer this morning. The brewer didn't care and happily made 10 cups of coffee anyway.
