I missed filming the best part Ms. Creek because I had to stand on the ladder to keep if from tipping. That's just about the time her shorts got stuck on the gutter board. I thought she was going to end up coming down the ladder in her underwear.

Great video but poor baby! Hope her hands are doing ok.

And the reason for her going up there in the first place was what? to clean the gutters?

I always make sure I get ladders that are short enough to keep me out of trouble.

I don't see any trees around... I suspect she wasn't cleaning the gutters.

I hope the view was worth it. (giggle)

I like how you think Jude. Short ladders is a great idea! That ladder is so heavy anyway it's a pain to move it.

Correct Chewy - no trees and nothing in the gutters. But she apparently had the urge to check anyway. She reminded me of a cat stuck in a tree.

Hey Shrinky! Well, I told her I hid a 12 pack of Sam Adams on the roof and up she went. Seriously, I think she just wanted to go up there and flash the neighbor. Which she almost did when her shorts got stuck on the gutter thingy.

I had to get Fran down off our roof one time, she went up to put Christmas lights around the chimney (one story house), and was too scared to come down by herself.

Hope those hands are better today.

Oh lord I did the same thing once- it took me a long time to have the courage to come down.

The Ring, Part 2

Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

Smile Pretty!

In my twenties, my then girlfriend and I used to think it was a riot to take pictures of ourselves doing really stupid things. Giving ourselves weird hairstyles, wearing goofy clothes, or putting things in our teeth really made us laugh. I found these pictures today. They were taken about twenty years ago in Boston. This one is particularly lovely, bra on the outside of my clothes,hair all twisted on top of my head, raisin in my teeth. And yes, I believe I am wearing a towel for pants. This one of me reminds me of a British rock star who says no, no, no to rehab (sorry Amy). Again, a beautiful sight to behold. And lastly, my ex, she who shall not be named. I have cropped out the top of her head because I think she would sue me if she saw I put her picture up here without her permission. She is the one who started all of this raisin in the teeth foolishness and this post would not be complete without her picture.
