The Ramblings of a Recovery Nut: June 2005

wacked in the face...

yes, i got wacked in the face very hard by a tree trunk. At work today, I was assigned to the wood chipper crew. I inserted a tree trunk in to the chipper and it twisted and jumped up and wacked me in the left side chin and face, I almost fell down but cought my self but my hard hat went flying about 10 feet away. I was slightly bleeding and it hurt like heck, but despite my protest to “let me sit down for a few minuets an tuff it out”, I was sent to the clinic to have it looked at. Though the doc did not do any x-rays, he assured me I did not fracture anything (I hope not but I think he could have checked a bit more in depth) My teeth are fine and my jaw hurts. It will probably look black and blue in the morning. – if it hurts, I could call in sick but I will probably still go in, I hate wussing out. So we will see.

I have also decided to add a new addition to my site, I am going to do a bi-weekly safety meeting on here, a format for a safety meeting we can use in the towing shops. I have a long list of things I want to bring up. These topics will include how to do things, safety items, basics and advanced towing and recovery lessons, tips and tricks of the trade, and much much more. I may do one this weekend.

I think that’s all for now..

my comcast and some links

Hi all and it’s great to be back!
On last Wednesday, my cable and internet went out and finally after a week of constantly calling Comcast, they came out and fixed the problem- and can u guess what it was? Comcast came out a week ago and did an audit of the building, to make sure no one was steeling cable; they accidentally screwed up and disconnected me!! I am fuming!!! But I’m back!!

On another note, I have a part-time job driving a tractor trailer delivering air freight. It’s all new trucks with air conditioning and its easy work, great pay and perfect flexible hours. So that’s cool.

I want to share these 2 cool links that I think you will all enjoy, they are kid safe: enjoy

A true American and friend to all in uniform!

Something positive out of Hollywood.
Its nice to hear about someone doing something quietly that will help so many people.

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims. They have buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base but as you can imagine, they are almost completely filled most of the time.

While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question I have is why does Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America crap and this doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the base newspaper in San Antonio?
