You really had me going there, underpants!!

See! It is worth something....every once in a while.

Dangerous stuff.

I’m glad you recycled it and featured the pandemic instead of us Blondies, lol!

One of my best friends owns horses and had an accident like you described at first, only for real, when she hadn't had her new horse for long and the horse spooked. She had a concussion & broken ribs and it took many months before she was back up to speed, so I was concerned.

Glad it wasn't real.

I first heard it when someone explained why G W Bush had such a fear of horses.

Read to the end ... but was getting anxious...

So glad you are, not just okay, but funny, too

is what got me very worried. Some people would read that, and not read the whole story, and think
that this is a true story, and that it really happened...

..That is how many people read the internet..We read the first few lines, and then go somewhere else....
Since I got to the part about the Dollar General ..and unplugged the machine, then I began to realize
this was not real news.............

Finally I read the last line questioning ........".whether I read what I wrote?" Then I realized this was just for humor, but for me, it did not work...This did the exact opposite.

...This creates fear and worry in some people, especially if they do not get to the end of the story. And reading the first few sentences is exactly what many of us do...This is not funny at all in my opinion.

Haven't seen one of those in about 40 years!
No way would one be in front of Dollar General!

saves your butt from a good ass kicking!

You caught me, bait, hook and sinker.

but I was worried about you in the beginning

always needed! I was seriously caught up in your story!

It was a good bit!

What where you thinking. Stay home...let the world go by.
Those dime store horses are assholes...what where you thinking.

but you had me going there.

Lololol!! That was a good one!!!

I saw it on the Facebook

That is great

I actually felt bad to read that you were in the hospital.

Fool me once... and all that.

We all need at least one each day to keep us going.

Yes, I've copied and pasted to Facebook.

You sucked me in. Thanks for the laugh because you're right--we need the humor in grim times.

Are they going to have to put it down and replace it with a rocket ship? lol

Best of luck, man! We're pulling for you!

your rescue. And I asked myself "Why would he be riding a horse in a mall parking lot?" I'm a little slow.

I fell off twice and then quit.
You had me going too, right up the part when the manager of the Dollar Store came out.....

... hit a little too close to home for me.

I was figuratively on my horse (running full speed) chasing a fly ball slicing towards the right field foul line at a senior softball tournament in Virginia on Sunday. When I started putting on the brakes to avoid running into the fence my left foot planted but the rest of my leg continued forward a bit, resulting in a badly dislocated ankle.

My left heel was pushed back a couple inches, and the rest of my foot was off at a crazy angle. I had to be stretchered off the field and taken by ambulance to the Ashburn Healthplex, where I received very good treatment. They set my foot straight, took before & after x-rays, and wrapped it up good for the 11 hour drive home in the back seat of a teammate's car with my legs across the back seat and the injured ankle elevated on a bag of clothes.

My wife was able to get an appointment with my orthopedist Tuesday morning, and he was able to schedule surgery Wednesday morning. Surgery went well with a titanium plate & 7 screws to repair the spiral fracture in my fibula at the ankle. This was not how my wife and I wanted to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, which was the same day as the surgery.

I'll be on crutches about 6 weeks before I can drive my car and return to the office. Fortunately I can work from home, as I did for 3 months when Illinois shut down in mid-March.

My team won that game and two more to become the SSUSA Eastern National Champions in the 60 Major division. Sadly, my season is over. I fell off my horse too damn hard.

Nice hustle though. 👍

It landed foul in a game my team easily won.

The previous batter had a line drive base hit down the right field line. I hustled after it and fielded the ball in foul territory, then made a strong throw to the cutoff man to hold the batter to a single.

I was still a bit winded on the fatefull foul ball. Not sure if that contributed to the injury as much as the downward slope of the field which changed the angle of my foot plant.

Locked up in the psych ward as well, but not for alcohol.

My most serious tequila adventure was drinking in Mexico and waking up in San Diego on the floor of some apartment next to a big black motorcycle with people I didn't know. This was in the early 'eighties.

Fortunately they were nice people.

The second and last time I drank too much tequila was at the wedding reception of one of my brothers. The morning after other brothers bought me a big hair-of-the-dog Bloody Mary with a celery stick at LAX, because they know I hate flying, and pushed me onto an airplane to Minnesota. I missed the connection flight by no fault of my own, and was sober enough when the taxi dropped me off at home.

My wife, who couldn't attend the wedding because she had to work, made no comment when I stumbled through the door.

I can't believe I was starting to feel sorry for you until I got to the end.

Now I'm laughing my ass off.

Or whatever.















o

Thank you for the llaughs You must be more careful. You could have dropped the tequila"

lol!!

Close it. Close the bridge!

until I saw your post - THANKS!

Thank you, Friday is much better now!

Awwww heck, yeah, it is. I must admit, at the beginning you had me. When I kept reading I started asking myself, "how can you still be conscious and able to write?" Before I got to the "Dollar General" part I knew you were pulling my crank.

Thanks for the smile though. I really needed that today. The stench of Trump is getting so strong and constant my sense of humor has been suffering.

Now get back on that horse, you quitter!

I though it really happened and completely understood your wanting to ride with complete abandon after everything and wouldn't have blamed you if you really had done such a crazy thing.

Anyway, you had me there!

Now, who can I forward that to???



P.S. Glad to hear you're fine!

Now, I'm feeling vengeful.

You shall pay for this misdeed.

Okay. I’d missed this here before.

first you had me, then my spouse!

I just burst out laughing in such a joyful way it reminded me of my mom and how she would react to a legitimately funny joke. The kind of laughter that makes you really snort and make goofy noises. Thanks, I really needed that and will pass it on for sure. That was absolutely hysterical!!!!!

I was scared to death!!!!

Away!!!!!!

I think I nearly soiled myself laughing there. Thanks! I'll remember to give the horsey ride a try next time I see one. I'll definitely bring the tequila.

I was sure you were talking about a covid infection!

Obviously, it hasn't affected your sense of humor.
