I'm not really sure if that was a compliment :P How old did you think I was??

That's very MUCH a compliment. I thought you were in your early twenties.

[ChihuahuaMomma]

I am in my early twenties (24). Last episode aired in 1984.

I have an embarrassing story for you CM.

I was at an outside patio with some friends, drinking a little more then I should have been. I was walking down the steps to the bar, with 2 glass bottles in my hand. When I fell down all 3 steps, landed on my face, the beer bottles broke one slit my wrist, the other one slit open my ring and middle finger. There were 3 boys behind me laughing hysterically and pointing at me. I was forcibly removed from the bar, without so much as even an "are you okay"? I hadn't even had a chance to pick myself up when I felt these 2 huge hands on my shoulders throwing me off the patio. My boyfriend had to rush me to the ER to have glass removed from my wrists and fingers, a long lecture on suicide by some counselors, and stitched in fingers.

They only kept my stitches in for one week. But I hope my story made you feel better!

Sorry to hear that Bella... that sure isn't nice to hear from people. :(

Wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry.

Yeah! No fun!

[Aurora_Bell]

It's okay, I laugh at it now. I thought it might make you chuckle! It is kind of funny, except I almost lost a tooth, and had to spend 4 hours in the ER, and have 2 nasty scars on my wrist and fingers, and broke my glasses... hmmm... not sounding so funny any more...

[Aurora_Bell]

But on the up side, I never did get my glasses fixed, and I went to the eye doctors a year later, and he said my vision had IMPROVED, I was almost at 20/20 vision! So it was a happy ending after all! :)

[ChihuahuaMomma]

Wow. I hope I get a happy ending! ((wow, sounds dirty)). Surgery went well, my pain level is about a 5, 3 right after meds. But I'm so glad we can start the healing process!! Woooooootttt!! Physical therapy starts in two days. Not so excited about that one.

About a year or so ago, my sister slit her hand open and needed several stitches. She was just doing dishes. The plate she was washing broke in her hand for no apparent reason and slit the palm of her hand clear across. She ended up with several stitches, but no surgery. I think they only kept the stitches in for a couple weeks.

I had stitches in my leg when I was 8. I still have a very visible scar, but it doesn't really bother me. I had to have the stitches in for 6-8 weeks. Then again, that was in 94, medicine has improved since then.

Now, how are you not familiar with fonzi? We were born in the same year, and I was still raised watching happy days reruns. Watched the spin-offs, laverne and shirley and mork and mindy, too.

PLEASE tell me you know mork and mindy. It's classic robin williams. I think it's robin williams before he became a household name, but I might be wrong. I wish they still showed it on reruns. Then again, I don't own a TV, so I guess I should just find it online.

Did you know that happy days was the first show to spawn spin-offs? It is also one of the few that had a spin-off become as successful as the original show. The phrase 'jumping the shark' was also spawned by happy days. Towards the end of the series the ratings were falling, so they had several episodes in Hawaii, one of which fonzi literally jumped a shark on waterskis, wearing his leather jacket and everything.

[Aurora_Bell]

Well I hope you get your happy ending too! Whichever way you meant it ;)

[ChihuahuaMomma]

Haha, thanks!!

It was the first one that they called the sequel a "spin-off." The first one that I can think of off hand was a spin-off of "Petticoat Junction": "Green Acres." Petticoat Junction was what they called a "sister show" to "The Beverly Hillbillies."

[hheath541]

I didn't realize petticoat junction was related to green acres. Learn something new every day.

Sorry to hear about your hand CM!

My mother was using a Bamix a few years ago to make some soup, and she was taking the attachment off the bottom of the wand and it restarted. Whizzzzz. Aaaarggh! Result? Mashed, sliced fingers - index finger and thumb.

It took her some weeks to completely heal after the surgery, but the cuts were jagged and very deep.

[hheath541]

I wince just reading that *ouch*

[ChihuahuaMomma]

Wowww... That sounds awful, Gemini
