Now yer talkin' my language!

[BHB]

Maybe UC has actually suffered from a back injury at some point and this all moot.

Can we get a history of his spinal health?

[unbroken_chain]

I once fell from the top loft of my barn onto a pile of rail road ties after attempting to walk across a warped plank. That really hurt.
I have been in 8 motor vehicle accidents that I can recall as a passenger, 13 as a driver.... of these, 3 would be considered "serious" and medics were dispatched.
I have been stabbed in the back in the proverbial sense, no lasting damage.
I was at the bottom of a pig pile in 83
Once had a very obese "friend" who liked to be on top.
I lift things up, and put them down alot.
um...
One time my horse flipped out and ran at top speed... I eventually fell off.... I was more scared than hurt.
my back hurts right now, actually.

Would somebody who has "Been in 13 accidents as a driver and 8 as a passenger being considered a safe parent for a child?"

[SunshineDrummer]

Damn, dude.... My back hurts just reading all that! {{{{UC's spine}}}}

I did not suffer TBI, bro.... and you can't count the passenger ones dude... I mean c'mon.
Many adults have this odd capacity to behave as a parent when caring for their children, and otherwise when not.


you are welcome to ask my children if they feel safe near or in the care of their dad.... first they'll politely reply, then they might cut you.

[TakeAStepBack]

Or the ones where you "were not at fault". Accidents can be a two ways street. That said, UC is not allowed to drive me or ride in my car. Accident Prone'd.

It was just a question, not a judgement. I think there's at least partial responsibility for getting in the car with somebody who may not be fit drive. However sometimes accidents just happen and there's nothing a driver or passenger can do. People run red lights and shit. I see more and more at lights where it's already turned green on my end and somebody comes flying by.

[Royal]

oh and I have no idea what TBI is.

I'm old as dirt man, that's not that bad considering my life and the 30 year span involved, and many happened in the first 10 years of driving... my first child did not arrive till I was 27

:winkydinky:

TBI is Traumatic Brain Injury.... two of my best friends had it to the extreme.... I had to teach one how to tie his shoes again.

[gregoir]

hurting your back does not impair ones judegement

[TakeAStepBack]

I've been in 3 accidents as a driver and 4 as a passenger. I'm only a quarter, maybe 1/5 your age, UC.

TBI = traumatic brain injury

Wanna bet, I'll mess up your back real bad and we can see how long till youre addicted to pain killers. Think that will impair your judgement?

That reads like an attack. Deep breaths

[gregoir]

This thread has just gotten silly. It makes no sense. I'm out

I don't take painkillers. I don't even take cold medicine.

[unbroken_chain]

I'm rather afraid of pain killers... don't care for them... hope to avoid.

[Royal]

not an attack in anyway, just rhetorical. Gregoir knows that I would never hurt him in any way. He's the only boyfriend I've ever had.

Oh, c'mon, Greg. Where's your will to be weird and what not?

Look how many boardies have piled in for this extravaganza.

[TEO]

As long as he knows, I will trust you are both on the same page.

[unbroken_chain]

oh I forgot, I once passed out while sitting on a deck rail at a party at the "lake house" in Coventry...I think I landed on the only rock in the yard.... now that sucked when I finally woke up.

[PeaceFrog]

when you have pain for an ongoing duration, and there's pills that take it away... I think it's only human to want those pills.

[unbroken_chain]

oh I wannem. I wannem alright. that's why I don't wannem.

I remembered another one. At UPS, they have trailers that have "two floors" so packages are stacked in the "Basement" and then the hinged floor doors are closed and they put packages "upstairs" the floor doors are very heavy and use eye and hooks to keep them up while you are hunched over working. One door had no hook so the shift manager held it for me while I was hunched over pickin boxes.... He dropped the door and it swung down and knocked me flat on my on my face and left a massive abrasion and bruise.
Also, in Mexico (and the EX wife can attest) I was hunched down on the side of the road taking a picture and a van backed up, right into my back.... that scared the bejezzus outta me.
all troofs.

I once went to Yankee Stadium wearing A Red Sox shirt... Well nothing happened, and I wasn't disabled. But now Java doesnt have the last post.

[unbroken_chain]

[unbroken_chain]

all "good sportsmanship" aside, it was embarrassing... these were old school season ticket holder seats....

Should have made her take the hat off. And then set it on fire. That would have been cool.

personally I feel pretty fortunate to never have had a serious back injury.

i've had what felt like a slipped disc or a pinched nerve a few times, but i only say that cause it hurt for awhile and i didn't know what else it could have been. it always cleared up in a day or 2 though so i'm guessing it wasn't either of those things.

there is that weird feeling that ya get sometimes, maybe just from straining yourself, where your knees kinda go out and there's almost hollow sensation in your middle back. it has happened a few times lifting weights if i wasn't paying attention and jerked the bar off the ground using my back instead of legs. i usually took that as a sign to stop and go have a beer.
