OMG. I swear, if I wasn't gray haired, I would be a ditzy redhead (I used to be a carrot top).
I just read where you say your location was North AND South Georgia...and I sat here probably for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out where those states were....then the lightbulb lit up and I realized you were IN Georgia both in the South AND North at various times. LOLOL. Oh gosh too funny. Don't pay me no mind. Made a good chuckle at least.

My stomach did flip flops just reading this. Never been impaled, but have done some accidental home surgery with the rotary cutter.

I sewed through my index finger. That would have been bad enough but you know that instinctive urge to pull your hand away when injured? Yowzer did that make a mess as I ripped the needle out through the side. It's been years but I totally feel your pain!

No, you aren't the only one. I am proof. My thumb still has the dot where it bled under the nail. I found out the machine would see through thick objects. LOL

We're a tough lot, we quilters. Reminds me of the old westerns where the cowboy got shot in the leg and took out the bullet himself with his knife and a bottle of whiskey.
