I just tripped over my own feet walking down the street.

Besides making an ass of myself, I also managed to rip some skin off of my hand. For a while, it did look worse than it felt, but now my pinky finger hurts like fuck. Luckily, I was outside a mall so I went to security and got some band-aids, but I'm debating whether or not to get it checked out at the walk-in clinic nearby.

Jesus. Can't I injure myself doing something cool?

1. Sure you can! Just pick something cool and do it!

You may be injured - but you may not. :)

2. That's actually a Bernard Baruch quote in your sig.

Hope your hand feels better soon.

3. I didn't know that!

Apparently it was falsely attributed to Dr. Seuss. Or he just extended it from the "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind". :)

4. Christmas night I was walking to the neighborhood bar

I took the alley which is never plowed and full of ice. It was dark and I had no idea that I was walking on ice. My legs slipped out from underneath me and I fell flat on my ass!! Broke my pinky toe and couldn't put on my favorite pair of shoes for a couple of months. The toe is just now finally getting healed and doesn't hurt anymore.

5. get the pinky checked...it matters more than you may think

I dislocated mine in two places December 1 and I may end up having to have surgery even though I had the dislocations reduced promptly and saw a hand specialist and an occupational therapist. Check your PMs. I send you some info.

6. oh and make sure they take an x-ray

the problems with the tendons though are the ones that cause ongoing pain, stiffness, weakness.

8. Au contraire!1 The great Michel de MONTAIGNE said, "I am more likely

to trip on level ground than on (rough)."
