The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
Anyway.... here I am going down the snowbowl -minding my own business and a snowboarder (who has 3/4 of an empty hill to go down), goes over the back of one of my skis. BAM! The ski stops moving (I don't), the ski comes off and as I'm falling forward... it hits me in the back of my head right on my hair clip.
DAMN. (Luckily for the punk, when my vision cleared he was standing there saying "I'm so sorry... Are you okay???")
Immediately a goose egg was forming on the back of my head. No blood that I can tell....
So after resting in the snow for a couple minutes, I decide to keep skiing.
About an hour & half later, I head for the lodge for lunch. So as I was getting ready for lunch, I put my hand up to touch the "bump" and my hand came away covered with blood. :hmmmm: Guess the cold COLD weather slowed the bleeding down.
After I washed my hands, I finished my lunch (after all, it wasn't like I was dripping blood everywhere). Then I went over to the ski patrol building and asked, "Can you tell me how big the gash is on the back of my head?"
Man, you would have thought that I had announced I was dying. They calmed down a bit after I told them it had happened a couple hours before. It turns out that I have a 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch deep gash. oops.

You're lucky. Those rat-bastards have killed two people this year.

I have returned after an awfully long day. I had class from 9:30 this morning to 6:15 this evening, with no breaks. The 45 minute drive home wasn't easy. It's safe to say I was hungry. Nothing in the refrigerator was safe from my stomach when I got home.
Senior level college courses are tough. I have a rediculous amount of reading to do, and it won't be long before papers are assigned.
