DG, I no longer feel like the clumsiest person I know. At least I can say I have never been bruised by my sock.

Interesting. I was raised (here in the Midwest) that you could wear white from Easter to Labor Day. Because you wore your pretty dress with your new shiny shoes for church on Easter smile

They won't do it if you ask them not to. When I went to a mission church in Japan, they would pray over everyone leaving and lay on hands. I told them we could have a prayer session, but no touchy please. They were fine with it.

Yeah, I think Easter makes more sense. And rules are made to be broken.

I LOVE being anointed with oil. It's common practice at our church, but only a few select people can do it. But my church would be considered a little "out there" to a lot of people...it's one of only 2 or 3 mixed race churches in Middle Tennessee...

Divine Geek · Guru

Yeah, I'm a total klutz. My family thinks it's hilarious that I, of all people, work in the safety department of my plant. I've been known to fall UP stairs, trip over nothing in flat parking lots, walk into walls/doors, the list goes on and on

A favorite quote of mine from my ex (the cop) is "I swear you are the only person I know who 'I walked into a door' is the actual reason for your black eye"

I honestly DON'T feel weirded out by these people. I'm sure if I was and asked them not to do it they wouldn't. They never invade your space or anything. They are not pushy or in your face with their beliefs. I honestly didn't know it was happening until it was all over. And strangely enough it didn't offend me. There is one lady there who is very anti touch. She's been there a couple times and last night she came up to me and ASKED me for a hug. She said she's really grown to like my attitude toward life.

Possibly. We were at the lake house and I got up to go to the bathroom. There was a night light near the bathroom and I had plugged my cell charger into the same outlet. The night light cast a shadow of the cord on the floor and trying not to trip over it, tangled my feet and tripped anyway. The cord was safely off the ground...

Sometimes, I think I see things moving out of the corner of my eye. It freaks me out and sometimes causes me to bump into things.

I never knew there were churches that didn't anoint with oil.

Several years ago, I tripped over a sleeping dog and face planted into our vertical fan. My left knee & left eye took the brunt of the fall. I did not wake up DH, because I didn't think anything was broken, but knew that I would need to get to the walk-in clinic in the morning. When he saw me, he was afraid they would think he had beaten me.

We were so comfortable in the exam room that no one looked askance.

p.s. And, yes, I have fallen UP stairs as well.

I have also fallen up stairs. I got my foot caught under my ottoman & twisted my leg so badly I can no longer wear heels.

I grew up in Chicago but when to a Southern Baptist church. It was hellfire and brimstone and damnation. No one ever raised their hands in worship, talked in tongues, anointed with oil, or anything else. We all sat quietly in our pews until it was time to sing or pray and then we stood silently right where we were with our hands at our sides.

I used to fall up the stairs all the time. My roomates would die laughing.

Count me in on the tripping over nothing people. I have tripped over a striped in a parking lot. Our tile is so slick when it gets wet. My family won't let me even help clean up spills because I have fallen so many times.

I fall walking upstairs. I fell downstairs once and landed on the arm of my sofa. I remained still for awhile for fear my ribs cracked and punctured my lung, but I was ok.

DS? Absolutely he does! He's been super good lately and extra helpful. Annoying yes. But good. And on his best behavior. SS? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, his grades were all A's and B's when DH left for work. In two and a half weeks he's managed to pull them all down to C's.

Divine Geek · Guru

In my first year at the plant, I had to fill out two incident reports. First was because I tripped in the parking lot. I wasn't paying attention, stepped wrong on a big chunk of gravel and down I went. I got crap from the maintenance department for weeks because they had to re-gravel the parking area with smaller stones. Second, I got hit in the face with an electrical cord. Guy yanked it out of the wall, it whipped back and hit me just above the eye. I had a black eye for 2 weeks.

Now they mostly ignore me when I bang into something or stab myself with a pen or trip down the steps. My old boss (former director of safety) told me to stop getting hurt because I was making him look bad lol

Vette · Owl drink to that!

We didn't have an attorney, we just handled it ourselves. We were trying to just do it the easy way.

Would I be entitled to half even if I don't make payments anymore? I should tell him that, maybe it will put a fire under his ass.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Lol DG, I'm glad to don't work with me you would probably get yourself killed!

If you are still on the deed, he won't be able to sell it without you signing off.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

You sure would be! But be careful, if your name is also on the mortgage then he can just quit paying it to spite you and wreck your credit.

I'm very worried about my credit, also awhile back it was hard for me to get an apt because I was paying rent where I was living, plus my "mortgage" even though I'm not paying on it.

I don't know if I can take him to court or what but he's really not making an effort to refinance and it's ticking me off!

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

It sounds like your name is on the mortgage. He has zero reason to refinance. Right now, he is paying it out of the goodness of his heart, but he doesn't have to. If he decides to quit paying it, you are responsible for it. The foreclosure will be in both your names. He has literally no reason to change that other than to get your name off the title (if it is on there at all). If your name is not on the title, he has no reason to refinance.

I would get a lawyer.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Can you draw up a hold harmless agreement. Ex and I had it when we split. It was part of our divorce decree. Even though he was on the deed I was assuming all the responsibility. Lots of creditors don't care what it says but some will take it into consideration. I paid the house off last year and just had to show the county people the decree to get the deed in my Name only.

I've tripped going upstairs and have shot myself in the foot with a dart gun, as well as wearing white before Memorial day and after Labor day.

I fell up stairs before too.

For a very long time, I could just be standing and turn my ankle.

Threw my back out once when I sneezed while sitting on the toilet. It was so bad I had to go to the ER.

That was crazy.

And the last time I wore white was my wedding.
