Thanksgiving
This year's festivities started out with a bang ... or perhaps it'd be better to say they were "electrifying". As we were getting ready, I went to turn the lights on in the living room and the bulbs blew out. So, in an attempt to get more light, I unplugged the lamp in our bedroom ... except, I didn't. I just took the cap off the plug, leaving the live whatevers-they-are exposed. I started to pull them out, realized it wasn't even the plug I needed & went to push it back in.
Need to think about the consequences of that action?
I apparently should have.
I can't remember ever being electrocuted before, but then maybe that's an effect of being electrocuted. Wow. My hand trembled for a good 20 minutes after that.
Maybe this should be listed under "Stupid Things Mara Does". Under the category of "Stupid Things Mara Says" can be included "I sunk my Palm Pilot". Yup - the updated version of a battleship, heheheheh.

Mara,

Sure, darling. I'm glad it will have been of use to someone. :-)

You can load battle ship on your Palm? Kewl. I wasn't planning to bring mine to Israel, but I might just to get Battleship.
Hope you feel better and the rest of the day was better than your start.

Good idea - battleship for Palms. Unfortunately, I don't have it. I just tried to say "I synched my Palm" and it came out "I sunk it"...

OH MY GOSH! That's horrible! Mara! I can't believe you electrocuted yourself!
