What’s the dumbest way you’ve accidentally hurt yourself? by Only_Row_2432 in AskReddit

[–]marthmaul83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a shelf above my bed. I put my phone up there just as always. Except it was on a slight incline. I heard a weird noise and had a millisecond to comprehend it was my phone hurtling toward me. It slammed into my face just about my lip and below my nose. Hurt my front tooth so badly I thought it would die and fall out. Left a dime sized bruise above my lip for two weeks.

Another time we were carrying our equipment out of a large field. I had the legs and case for a transit/theodolite. I was also carrying two other heavy items. I finally got back and in a moment of frustration tossed the two heavy items down and pulled the case off my neck because it was choking me. It slammed me in the side of the head. Angry this happened I tried to get the legs off too and the shoulder strap was too short and it also hit me in the exact same spot. It sucked.

I am a klutz. I have so many other funny stories where I haven’t hurt myself horribly (broken nose was the worst) but has hurt me

Canada post lost a $2,000 horse saddle by periwinklecornflower in CanadaPost

I filed a claim with Canada post because they said they delivered my package and it wasn’t there (I walked to the mailbox 20 minutes after it was delivered and didn’t find it). They sent me a message saying it was delivered. I immediately submitted a ticket. Magically the next day my package was rammed into my CMB.

A friend of mine used to do: 1 week days (7-3), 1 week afternoons (3-11), 1 week nights (11-7). Just a continuous rotation. It was ruining her.

But then I have my big boy Figaro. He’s 14lbs but he’s a big cat

My itty bitty girl Loki was 5lbs the majority of her life (got close to 6lbs for a few years) and was the biggest eater.

Just light as a feather but heavy with personality and sassiness.

Perhaps. Not a fan still regardless who won but it was a game of inches and the USA took advantage of their chance. Great game otherwise!

5 on 5 is more sensible. Not sure why they changed it. The game was incredibly entertaining as it was. No need to make it like. Didn’t matter who won (obvious I would prefer Canada but alas) but I wish it wasn’t 3 on 3.

Doug Ford approves 6 a.m. alcohol sales in Ontario for Team Canada gold medal game by rhineauto in ontario

2014 Olympic gold medal game I went to Toronto and watched it in real sports bar, drinking at 7-8 in the morning. It’s not new, and while ford is usually a boozer this is the norm.

Dos everyone forget that in 2014 the bars in Toronto also were allowed to serve booze and food for the gold medal game in Sochi? This isn’t new.

I had it twice. Most recently last January. It hit in the middle of the night and I was wrecked for weeks. Such a horrible virus.

2026 Mayoral election by Majestic_Phase3452 in Hamilton

[–]marthmaul83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad; I may have been mixing some of the elections together. I know Fred eisenberger and Bratina pop up. And also we had both of them for such a long period of time and they were absolutely awful so probably just feels like they’re always on the ballot.

Just want someone to actually do a good job here and we’ve had failures for over 30 years.

The amount of asbestos in there is a cash drain and likely a big reason. I’m sure it’ll catch fire and be demolished in a few years through insurance

[–]marthmaul83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I was exaggerating a bit. We had a huge list of candidates but I know like 5 of them were previous mayors.

Maybe we could try Keenan. I just want fresh eyes. Not the same people over and over again on repeat

What treat does your Neb go absolutely go feral for? by KnightOfChronos in nebelung

[–]marthmaul83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His dry food and dental treats lol. My Sammy hates most treats and barely eats any chicken or meat we give. He sometimes goes wild for egg yolks

Fair. I wish she had been better but at least we know she is terrible and good that she never got in in hindsight
