(112,100 posts)I won't run on any hard surface ever again after trying to push start a vehicle about three years ago. I lost my footing, did a faceplant on concrete and broke my right arm just below the elbow. I had to go to the ER because blood was gushing from the bridge of my nose and part of my upper lip was peeled off. I didn't shave for over two weeks due to the lacerations that covered about a quarter of my face. I was on disability from work for over two months while I did rehab. That's why I dig grass!

Every once in a while a start an OP with all the photos of Obama with children that I have. I think it's quite a cool collection. He definitely connects with children, and quite intimately sometimes. It's as if he gives them his undivided attention for a moment and this has been caught many many times.
