The thing on top of my structure has been through lots of bumps, stabs, twist, and turns in its 57 years. When I was a pre-teen I dove into a swimming pool at my birthday party and hit the bottom of the pool with thing on top. In high school a huge ball (about 4 ft round) landed squarely on the back of thing on top and whipped its support. In my 20s I was working outside our home on a project with a big wrench that I had placed on the ground and our precious son picked it up and was swinging it like a bat. I looked up at the wrong time...blood squirting gash. In my 30s once again the base of said thing on top was whipped and twisted in a theme park water ride accident. In my 40s I lifted up in the attic of my grandparents home and shoved a nail that was coming through the roof into the top of thing on top AND was backing up with an overhead projector in my hands to get the size needed for a V.B.S. prop to outline on paper on the garage door...forgetting the step-up, I fell back and the overhead landed on the forehead of said thing on top.
I try really hard to be more careful these days! It seems that in my 50s I have been paying for all of these boo-boos and most of the time I do pretty good controlling the issues with knowing what I can and can't do. :O)
The thing on top has been leaking important information for years...like a balloon releasing air! LOL I might need to get me a big clamp! Oh, for my mouth you say? LOL
