Dumbest thing I did today was.......

[Nematode]

Ok I'll go first.
Was in the garden. Barefoot of course because thats how gardening should be done.
Went to dig taters, and somehow ran the fork into my foot.
Just dumb.
Only a flesh wound but feeling not so smart about it all.

Second dumbest thing was posting in the wrong place.
Mods some help?

[Cole_Robbie]

Ouch. I have thorny pig weed. It will talk a person out of barefoot gardening.

What would our feet look like if we never wore shoes from day were were born?

[Nematode]

Dirty, no fungus, no cracked skin.
Well aired and healthy

Here's some from New Guinea.

I didn't do it myself, but I saw it - my wife holding her $5 phone case as the $70 phone falls to the ground. Luckily, my shoe cushioned the fall.

I did that the other day with mine
I thought it was going in my pocket but it ended up on my foot.

No worried because I have a brand new one that I can use If I need to.
It was my wife's before she died.

I've done that so many times. I'll carry things in from the car. A bunch of stuff in one hand and only one thing in the other so I can open the door. So I've got the camera, game system, and several other things in one hand - and bottle of water in the other.

More than ouch!

There are good reasons for wearing shoes at times.

Your tetanus is up to date, yes? Is it a puncture wound or a tear type wound and does it need stitches?

I hope it more like a scratch. though tetanus works well with scratches, too.

Watch it fairly closely, elevate it, ice and such, if more than moderate swelling, or if a puncture wound or any other signs of distress occur, go to acute care immediately.

[Nematode]

Oh Imp,
Your imagination is working a little hard.
Its just a scratch, and I'm clumsy enough that being up on tetanus isn't usually a problem.
But thanks for your concern.

[imp]

Can't help it, I worry, LOL. Sorry.

I DO have a good imagination, sometimes a good thing, sometimes not so a good thing.

Dumbest thing I did today was get a bit too hot, but am okay. Got cooled down and re-hydrated, but sure felt sick for a bit. I know better, but it was one of those, "just this one more thing..." things.

[AlittleSalt]

Imp, it's too hot for "One more thing". I pretty much garden year round. There are two things I will not go out to the gardens without - One being the phone and the other being a half frozen bottle* of water. It doesn't matter if it is 40F outside or 104F - take and drink water. My doctor told me that you should drink a half oz. of water for every pound you weigh. For me that's easy to figure out - at 220 pounds, I need to drink 110 oz. of water each day.

*For those who live a green life - Yes, I know that bottled water adds to pollution, but I refill those bottles many-many times.

Next time, dig for fingerlings, and stay away from those toelings.
