Both FR and Fotki are in the midst of some significant upgrades, so they hiccup a lot.

Thanks, Val. I was beginning to think it was just me. It has been driving me crazy!

Good grief. I'm guessing the woman who did this must have been a real cow to take her food so seriously.

Spanish phone booth takes finger hostage in the name of security

Sun Dec 7, 7:27 AM ET Add Offbeat - AFP to My Yahoo!

MADRID (AFP) - A young woman's middle finger was jammed in a Madrid telephone booth for two and a half hours when the unit's security system backfired, Spanish firefighters said.

The public booth's anti-theft system was activated when the woman attempted to recuperate 1.50 Euros (1.80 dollars) swallowed up by the machine after she made a phone call late Saturday.

Firefighters had to dismantle the steel telephone and then saw it to pieces to free the finger of the 18-year-old woman, who was not seriously injured but intends to file a complaint against the telephone company.

I can relate to my post and the public phones, for I have had a coin refunded only to be caught in a sharp tooth mental jaws that snatched my return coin. As I peek into the coin slot I saw my coin in the grips of this claw!

What were you before you became domesticated? Were you a jetsetter? LOL

Well I wasn't getting my fingers sewed by the sewing machine, that's for sure

[Conservababe]

Maybe. She loves power tools and takes care of the plumbing problems in her house. LOL

Mo, I am not a seamstress, by any definition. But, I can find my way with a sewing machine. Here is a tip, okay.

Despite what you see on Trading Spaces...do not ever put your fingers behind the material to pull. It won't do a bit of good. Just feed the material slowly guiding it in front of the needle.

Good luck. LOL

Do You Know Everything?

Just when I thought I knew everything...

I can understand why a cow would get so upset over a hamburger.
