Hey when I was young my dad feed the sheep grain, he used big drums to put the grain in on the back of his ute. When the drums were empty my brother and I used to squat down in the drums on the back of the ute on the way back to the house.
But one day when I was a little older and we feed the sheep their grain my brother and I squared down inside the drums as usual, but I got stuck. I was locked in between my knees and my back and couldn't get out. My dad had to roll me off the back of the ute to get me out. My mum laughed so much and all I could do is cry.
My dad still tells everyone that story 30+ years later.

Dede, i haven't laughed until I have cried for so long. Sorry, i am sure it would have been traumatic for you, but thanks for sharing.

[meganjane]

Having a great belly laugh reading this thread..

[obbie]

Did you get the keys out.
We have RACQ here.

[dede]

Bedlam I'm glad it made you laugh. And yes at the time it was traumatic, probably more so as my mum was laughing so much. But I still remember that feeling of being stuck and not being able to get out. My dad had to get me to relax so he could pull me out. But my mum found the whole thing hilarious. (I would of laughed to in her situation

I never got in that drum ever again after that.

[dede]

And we have RACT here in Tassie.

You girls surely know how to cheer oneself up.

This morning I had to squash a bug. It looked like a little scorpion..... I was freakin as scorpions are deadly. Never seen one before apart from on the TV and now I am scared the whole house is infected with scorpions 

[Frozzie]

Oh dear.. Thanks for the kaugh.. Amy i do hope you got your keys out by now

[Frozzie]

Most scorpions arent deadly dg but they do hurt when they sting you.. Dad got bitten years ago and we thought they were highly poisonous too but apparently alot arent however it hurt like hell..or so im told! We were a bit frantic though ringing emergency etc

[DizzyGirl]

OH thanks Frozzie, I will be able to sleep tonight now. Hate bugs and creepy craw;ies, snakes spiders etc. I am such a wimp.

[Amy :-)]

I was told that if you somehow manage to put a ring of fire around a scorpion it will sting itself to death.

 

Personally, if I needed to kill it, I would just smack it with a brick.

[Frozzie]

Lol amy

Br careful though dg as apparently when they bite it feels like getting stuck deep with a needle..

We only had one in the house whendad got bitten but have no clue how it got there..

[dede]

We get a few scorpions in the house each year. They are only small but nasty little things. I caught the kitten playing with one the other day. No one has been bitten by them here but I have been told they do hurt.
My DH had a nasty wake up call from a wasp that stung him while he was asleep. I'm guessing it came in on the washing. Ouch

[DizzyGirl]

Ouch poor DH.
