Ow. Tough having that kind of thing on your face; I DO know. Good thing that it won’t scar.
Living where you do, and it being as cold as it is, I’m sure you’re not the only “mutant” walking around. Or do you think you’re the “dumbest person in the area”? LOL. Doubtful.
Want to hear an “I’m not a sensitive person” story?
nope, i am not the only one who is a mutant. there are those even more daring. one of which is my youngest son. last winter he was 9 years old and decided to get his tongue stuck on a steel basketball pole. when he came home spitting blood and chanting “will it grow back?” “will it grow back?” i freaked out and looked to see a large piece of his tongue had been peeled raw and bleeding. i called the doctor to see if i should bring him in and they started laughing and assured me that it would heal right back in a day or so. they get several cases of that every winter.
I must hear your “I’m not a sensitive person” story, Pandora, please?
LOLOLOL. Your son....did just like in that movie...stuck his tongue....LOLOL...on a frozen pole. LOL. Sorry. (Snicker.) Poor little kid. What made him DO that?
When I was 9, my grandfather died. We went to the house for the wake and all. During the night, when everybody was sleeping, I went in the refrigerator. Nana’s freezer had a 3-inch layer of ice on it, and I wanted a bite of it. I didn’t lose any tongue, just a bit of inner, lower lip. I never told anybody...until you, arch.
Ok, “I’m not a sensitive person”.
My long time friend and I were talking on the phone (her on cell) when she fell over -something- coming in the house. She smacked her face good, right on the floor. We did the, “are you OK???"..."ow, ow, ow, yeah, I think so"..."is Don (husband) home to help you?"...."ok, I’ll call you tomorrow”.
“Tomorrow” comes, and when I call her, she’s worried about her swollen face, and now she has to cover the emerging bruise with make-up, and what is she going to tell people. So I told her, “Tell them Don did it”. One beat. Two beats. Then she starts laughing like hell. We laughed like hyenas for about two minutes.

So not politically correct.
LOL!! LOL!!… poor Don!! you two are mean.
my son didn’t really taste the pole like in the Dumb and Dumber movie, but was trying to climb the pole and while hugging his way up, must have had his tongue sticking out and it froze to the pole. he said in his panic he let go to jump down. Pandora, since you told of your ice-capades, i must admit to getting stuck to one of those metal ice cube trays out of my mom’s freezer. She had made frozen jello cubes for us kids and i couldn’t wait. I remember my sisters laughing at me.
if you don’t know who each other are, what meaning does a death threat have? how can you actually carry out a manslaughter when you know not whom or where the victim is? it is totally meaningless. leftists always want to ban what offends them. freedom of speech includes angry outbusts as expression. just like offensive art.
Arch,
One thing you really need to know is that it’s not too hard to track people down unless they take serious steps to cover their tracks.
Another thing you need to know is that whether or not one has the ability to carry it through, threatening to kill someone else is a felony - and on the Internet, a federal crime, too - and I happen to believe in upholding the law even if you don’t on the ludicrous grounds that those who make such threats are ‘baited’ into it.
Speaking of changing the subject…
Frostbite is a real pain. Fortunately it’s rarely damaging. I’m glad both you and your son are OK.

thank you for the kind words Raptavio. i hope you and your family are well too.
how can that work on an anonymous forum? who broke the law and who was the victim? these posts are mere words expressing ideas. kind of like cartoons when pictures are added. this is a virtual world of ideas and personalities is it not? how can a virtual death threat be a crime? are you certain that i can be tracked down on this forum? that would be scary!!
thank you for the kind words Raptavio. i hope you and your family are well too.
I am, my family isn’t, but that’s the way life works.

I would refer you to people more versed in the law than I to explain it in detail why it’s a crime.
I can only tell you that, having been the administrator of a forum that was larger than this one, I kept myself abreast of the laws and what my legal responsibilities as administrator were (which were very few, thankfully) and what was or was not across the line of legality. And that we use pseudonyms does not make us ‘virtual people’ - we are still who we are, and threats are directed against people, not names.
As for tracking down people, well, I’m not giving away any big secrets. You’d be a harder one to track down, though, as your chosen name is hard to websearch for. So I’d have to discover your IP address from which you’re posting, and there are ways to do that. From there it gets to be pretty trivial depending on what ISP you use.

thanks for the enlightenment Raptavio. on this forum, i have yet to see an actual death threat made by anyone although some have wished it upon others. this is much different than making an actual death threat i would believe.
Ow. Tough having that kind of thing on your face; I DO know. Good thing that it won’t scar.
Living where you do, and it being as cold as it is, I’m sure you’re not the only “mutant” walking around. Or do you think you’re the “dumbest person in the area”? LOL. Doubtful.
Want to hear an “I’m not a sensitive person” story?
nope, i am not the only one who is a mutant. there are those even more daring. one of which is my youngest son. last winter he was 9 years old and decided to get his tongue stuck on a steel basketball pole. when he came home spitting blood and chanting “will it grow back?” “will it grow back?” i freaked out and looked to see a large piece of his tongue had been peeled raw and bleeding. i called the doctor to see if i should bring him in and they started laughing and assured me that it would heal right back in a day or so. they get several cases of that every winter.
I must hear your “I’m not a sensitive person” story, Pandora, please?
That must have hurt. I guess some kids just can’t resist licking the frost off the poll. I am glad that when I did it as a kid it didn’t rip a layer off of my toungue. Thankfully It is not as cold in California.

rcdave99. he didn’t actually lick the post. he was climbing it by hugging against it and when he was part way up somehow had his tongue sticking out and when he got stuck, he panicked and jumped down. not a good move. there was a blood trail in the snow from the school to our front door. the amazing thing was that it healed totally up in four days. :smirk:

Ouch.
Early one morning before he had to go to school one of my children snuck out of the house and got his bike and was riding it real fast and jumping his bike off the curb and he crashed in the street.
Next thing we knew we had a six year old boy with a hole in in chin with blood all over him. I had thought that he had broken the handle bars and gotten stuck by them.
Turned out that when his chin hit the street it ripped a big flap of skin half way off of his chin. We put him in the car and took him to the hospital for a bunch of stitches.

This is just rapo being a crybaby. Dwight just wished “a plague on both your houses” in another thread, which would qualify, in rapo’s book.

What a way to wake up on a Monday morning.
yep when you have young kids you can expect moments like that. I am waiting for the next panic event.
