"WELCOME TO JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #3

[Sassycat]

Northern Rose your teaching your son how to ride a bike reminds me of my husband teaching the girls. For some strange reason they would stop the bike by hitting a tree  it took my husband awhile but they eventually got the idea of how to really stop a bike. Glad your son is alright. I use to love bike riding, but would never attempt it here.

I can remember when my brother and myself would tie a rope to the back of our bikes.We had to keep up with each other or face the wreck.The one thing we didn't plan on was a tree that came between us one time.    Greatest wreck of all bicycle history for us. It hurt pretty bad,but we didn't knock our teeth out so it was all good.

When I was a kid I always wanted to hang out with my older brother.  He was not so keen on it. Once him and his friends took off on their bikes and I followed but they had no idea that I was there. They headed to a ravine and were taking turns going down the gravel path.  Once they saw me and told me to go home I was too little to be there I was really mad and was going to prove them wrong.  So down the path I went, unable to control my bike as I was going way to fast, did a huge wipe out and skidded full body down the gravel path.  I was only wearing shorts a tank top and the red ribbon I had won at the school track meet the day before.  I had gravel stuck in my cheeks, chest, elbows and knees and bleeding all over the place.  My brother told me to use the red ribbon as a bandage as it would not show the blood and maybe mom and dad would not find out.

   You guys have some great stories.         I wonder how you all ever made it to adulthood.

Northern Rose - I'm not laughing at your injury as a child - but laughing with you as I remember some of the crazy things I did with my two older brothers.    I do wonder how we made it.    Back in those days, we all played outside all day - and did the craziest things.

It's a wonder with some of the things we did as a kid we can now laugh about it. I remember also there wasn't any fancy swimming lessons, my dad just said jump off the raft I did, and I didn't sink I swam so that is how I learned to swim

JSM - glad to hear you got a 5.0 and the bewbs behaved.  I knew you would be fantastic. Really want to see the video!

Trimm - I have been praying for you and your neighbours. 

Fanny - read your post.  Hope that is not your last. 

I have had a crazy busy weekend.  First my daughter convinced me to go on a bike ride with her.  I have not been on a     for about 10 years.  So I think we are going for a nice leisurely ride down to the lake .  WRONG!!!! She starts a new school in 2 weeks and wants to ride there.  It is about 7.5 Km there and 7.5 km back .  That translates to about 9.5 miles AND we have to go through a river valley to get there.  So there is no easy ride one way or the other as we have to go up a hill both ways crossing the river.  My knees were screaming when I got home.  Yesterday my youngest decided that since he skipped bike riding 101 and went straight to skateboarding  and rollerblading he wants to learn to ride a bike.  So there is me out in the field with him running behind him while he is learning.  Problem is everytime I let go and he can not hear my footsteps (not hard as the ground stops shaking when I stop running) he stops peddling.  After the first hour of this and me wanting to call 911 for the heart attack I am sure is to follow he has one of the slow motion crashes.  He turns around to see where I am , turns the handlebars too sharp, bike stops instantly and back end gets airborne, he is still holding handlebars, does a full air flip over handle bars, chest lands on tire and flips on his back.  So there is me carrying the bike back home as the handlebars are totally backwards and the brake cable somehow got under the frame and I can not get them turned around for the life of me.  He was fine, just scared and I was ready to drop.  I get to the house and the older two are there like they have ESP  and are waiting to see what kind of mess I have gotten myself into now  .  My youngest tells his big brothers that he had a awesome crash and high fives them while I am checking my pulse.

NR, I am butting into your story because my son had a similiar accident about 5 years ago. He was 10, and flipped his bike the same way, but his chest hit the handlebars. He felt fine, but after about an hour, he starting having numbness in his shoulder. I thought nothing of it, since he didn't hit that part of his body. But the pain had gotten worse and I decided to take him to the e.r., which I wanted to avoid because it is over an hour away. Anyway, I was glad I did, because he had a grade 3 liver laceration, and was hospitalized in I.C.U. for a week! Everything turned out fine, but I never would have associated shoulder pain with a liver injury! Just wanted to share, in case he experiences the same symptoms.

    That was not good, gravel and skin not a good combination. I hope you didn't break any bones.

No worries Sassy.  I wonder the same thing as I was always outside trying to keep up with my brother.  The bike crash is one I will never forget as my parents obviously saw what happened and because we were poor my dad decided to deal with the gravel himself.  He was digging it out of me for hours and I have scars from it.  I have no idea what lie I told to protect my brother but no matter how bad we fought, and we had some huge fights, we would always stick up for each other and cover things up.

See you later, not a good day, doctor and funeral home.

Gizzie that is awful, I guess one just never knows when you fall or hit your head if something worse has happened inside the body.

We sound like we came out of the same family.    There were six of us kids and my dad was always working to make ends meet.    We sure could get into trouble!  It didn't help that I was a tom-boy.

I hate the one where the two people are outside on a mountain, holding hands in seperate bathtubs.  That is just the stupidest commercial I have ever seen.

Don't even get me started on the Viagra.       

Here's my opinion.    It is a drug that should only be issued to the man if his wife agrees!
