    Default I'm NEVER putting another pin in my mouth!

    I don't normally do this anyway, but after reading this article I most certainly won't ever do that again!

    OMG! I am the worst at putting pins in my mouth. I am going to <try> to stop right now. It's really hard to change a bad habit.

    Each time I put a pin in my mouth, I decide I will never do that again...but, somehow, I just always do, though not as often as I used to.

    However, after reading that article, I certainly will never put a pin in my mouth again! Thanks for posting this, as I know it has changed that habit permanently for me!

    I always worried about swallowing the pin, it never ocurred to me that I might inhale it.

    Oh, my god, never again. I will print that story out and hang it in my sewing room!

    Wow, that's eye opening isn't it.
    I used to put my pins in my shirt but one mishap cured me of that habit. I forgot about the pin and when I pulled the shirt off before getting into my pajamas, I felt and heard something scrape across my glasses. If I had taken off my glasses first I could have had a pin in the eye. Now I have pin cushions at every work station and one that goes on my wrist if I am moving around the sewing room.

    I have that nasty habit, too...try not to do it...but every now and then I find myself with a pin in the mouth.

    Thanks for posting this....I may have finally broke this habit.

    I have lots of pincushions, I run the pincushion swap after all, but I still will occasionally stick a needle in the arm of the chair when I am doing embroidery. Ouch! After my son was born I became extremely careful that all pins were safely stowed in a pincushion, not that he is grown there has been some backsliding.

    Wow...I'm glad you shared that. I am notoriously bad about that, in fact, had two in my mouth just yesterday. Definitely a habit I will break.

    That is good to know and also not to lick the envelopes closed. Someone did that and got a cut on her lip and thought nothing of it until her lip started to swell and she had licked cockroach eggs and one was in her lip.
