This happened last weekend when we were moving. We had the wood stove going and it has a little lip on the top. He was walking by, in his skivvies (we'd been sleeping in the living room on the sofa-sleeper) and caught his upper outer thigh on the lip.
He has a swell looking straight 'brand' now. It's scabbing over and soon, he'll have a swell looking shiny brand all his own.
At least I'll always be able to identify him in the herd...  Can your hubby top this?? It would have to be a GOOD'UN...

btw, my brother wasn't hurt cause the explosion literally knocked him across the room, so he was only grazed by the fire ball. If the wall wasn't there I think he would of kept flying! that was also funny!

lol Kristin, my brother did the same thing when we were in junior high! However, I was actually in the room with him (he did that with the wood burning pot belly stove), it was the biggest fire ball I ever did see!!!! I being the good sister that I was, was literally rolling on the floor laughing my head off! And asking him to do it again! Meanwhile, to this day he blames that fire ball for his patchy beard hair (some places it doesn't grow) and his receding hair line. I never seen so much cinged hair in my life! lol But, it was funny!!!!!!!! To me at least. I still laugh about it to this day. If he had been seriously injured I wouldn't but......my goodness it was too funny!

Okay - I have two stories; one about my former husband and one about my current husband. The Christmas after our daughter was born, I decided I wanted to have goose for dinne r- a traditional Old English feast, with our pastor and his young wife and child invited. I ask FH (former husband) to pick up a goose and I would roast it. He came home with a large black bag in the back of his car. In the bag? A tall, long necked China White goose - ALIVE. Now he was no farm boy, but was just sure he knew how to kill a goose. He took the goose, in the bag and tried to break its neck with a board. Of course the neck stretched and the goose took off, with the black bag on its head, flapping and honking with both of our dogs in hot pursuit. FH finally caught it and cut the head off....then he had to clean it - there were goose feathers everywhere - it looked like it had snowed in our yard, which was covered in feathers. That was the toughest goose, ever served for dinner....
The other story is my sweet husband of today, who grew up on a raspberry farm in California. The farm had a pond, but the pond was not very deep, only up to the waist, and small, so there was not real swimming. My DH and his cousin decided to make the pond deeper, so they took a stick or two of dynamite, stuck under the big roack in the pond and lit them and ran behind the tree. He said there was not as much noise as he expected when the dynamite exploded and the rocks flew up - but they apparently flew straight up....the sound when they came straight back down and hit, and left a ringing in Dh's and cousins ears for about a week! Moral fo the story for my DH - never play with ordinance! (And I make him stick to that rule.)

My X husband who thought he was a Great outdoors man went duck hunting with the guys. They had chili and beverages the first night out. Well the next morning while out hunting, mother nature called and he answered. Using the nearest leaves to clean himself. WELL!!!!!! He was rash from front to back, his hands where swollen to 3x's their size, and multiple other area's of his body. Of course he would not go to the doctor. What would I say to him he would say? So we used compresses and maxi-pads to soak up the drainage (should of seen him walk) and bandaged both hands and creams and lotions ect... finally after 2 weeks and it was getting worse I dragged him to the doctor and I told the story. The doctor was laughing as hard as I was. Some steroids and lotions later he recovered physically. That poison ivy gave me the greatest laughs. I do have to admit living with him was funny to say the least.

Well, my hubby may compete in the less than smart department. He stuck his hand in a swather when it was running. My brother-in-law called me and said you better get to the hospital your hubby is in the ER. He then said he still has all his fingers. That was enough to make me hurry a little faster. When I got there they were stitching up his hand and two fingers. Part of his hand looked like hamburger. He still has trouble with the two fingers 5-6 years after the accident. |

Back when our first baby was a little more than a year old she suddenly decided to walk. She had spent most of the day stumbling away from some piece of furniture till she fell and layin there cryin till mommy picked her back up. My Hubby comes home from work and I inform him if he'll sit in the living room and watch he might see her walk. So he 's in the living room about a half hour while I'm workin on dinner when all of a sudden I hear yellin and bangin, then crash and the baby's cryin. I run in and there is my hubby face down under the coffe table with the lamp busted acrossed the floor and the baby held up in the air. He's bleeding from his forhead and arm from the lamp and the baby is cryin loudly. "She was fallin over!" he bellows and I nearly lost it laughin. The poor man had never been around a baby before and he was worried she'd hurt herself fallin the whole 10 inches her little legs lift her little butt off the floor! He still shows the little scars during the summer as they refuse to tan. I still giggle anytime I notice them, too.

Well, mine has several scars from the exhaust on the motor cycle but the real topper for him had nothing to do with fire. We were driving from Wasilla, AK to Kenei, AK to pick up a puppy one of his co-workers had given him. I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with our oldest daughter and it was early February. Lots of snow and ice in Alaska at that time. We had been driving for some time and he decided he needed to visit with mother nature if you know what I mean and there were no rest stops in sight. So he pulled over at a scenic overlook and walked over to the edge of the parking space which had a beautiful view of the valley miles below. He stepped over the guard rail - now I believe guard rails are there for a reason - and to my surprise his arms flew up into the air and he disappeared down the side of the mountain. Now as I have stated I was 71/2 months pregnant and it was winter. I sit in the car for a time and try to think of what to do. Finally I know there is nothing I can do but drive for help but I feel like I at least need to know how far down he might have fallen. So I creep slowly across the snow and ice to the guard rail and hanging onto the guard rail I look over the drop off. About 300 ft down he has a foot on the trunks of two small trees sticking out the side of the mountain and is hanging onto two more small trees growing out the side of the mountain. I ask the " here's your sign question" "Are you Ok" and he barks back at me "get back in the car I'll be there in a little bit." About 45 minutes later he comes walking down the road toward me. He worked his way back up to the top by climbing up the little trees growing out the side of the mountain. He still has scars on his elbows from the fall. And yes we did get the puppy. LOL

My late hubby deceided to help one Thanksgiving about 2 yrs after we were married and take the turkey outa the oven, but he forgot the hotpads, burning his fingers, he squated down and rested the pan on his legs, which of course burned them, jumped up and slopped hot liquid all over his lower legs, then sat the roaster pan finally on the stove yelling, I DID'NT DROP IT !!! Of course by the time we got home from the ER, it was cold, lol. He never offered to take the turkey out again.

Oh Winona  ....that's too funny. I don't mean to laugh at someone elses pain but geesh....lol. My DH had a red mark across his forehead for a week after he tried to decapitate himself while riding his moms riding mower. A grapevine grabbed him while mowing around the edge of her yard/slope. He was concentrating on the slope and it grabbed his forehead, pulled him backward and there he was going along, hanging on for dear life till he uprighted himself. hahahahahaaha Yup...THAT left a mark! I asked him if he stayed on for the 8 seconds a bullrider needed, and if he kept his arm in the air.(it's a "Cowgirl" thang)He laughed. Hope your hubby is feeling better. Burns are the worst.

Ok, I think this would qualify as stupid, but we had just been married about a year. I was big pregnant. Hubby was outside and was going to burn a big brush pile. He couldn't get it going good so he poured gas all over it and threw in a match. I was in the bathroom and the house shook, like an explosion. I had no idea what happened. So I ran outside and there's my hubby with skin dripping off of him. Of course he was shirtless. So off to the the ER as fast as I could drive. He had second degree burns all over his top half. Was out of work for several weeks. I know, that was very dumb. And he has never done that since. Sometimes it only takes one time.

Yeah men are smart sometimes. Mine had to go to the back corn field and get a guy on the tractor whose wife needed him at home. So he jumped on my dirt bike in shorts and took off before I could tell him it had two flat tires(or he even looked). Well, first rut he hit the bike stopped dead and he tipped over, big hairy leg fell right on the hot exhaust pipe. So now he has a six inch square of missing skin and what is left is black and weepy. It took him 5 days before he would go to the doctor. He still doesn't have hair there and a pretty good scar 4 years later. It matches all the other scars he acquired with his 'never think of safety' attitude. This is why we have women. Someone has to keep them alive. I hope your husbands burn heals. That silver cream really helps.
