I can honestly say that generally speaking, I don't get into life-threatening situations much because of curiosity. There was that one time my big mouth got me in one, though... but I digress! :-O You got that right, Jeanne!

And thankfully, it doesn't generally yield Portugese Men O'War! Thanks for a great post! Jeanne Robert,

Yeah - ouch! I guess the best thing about the incident is that I've forgotten enough to make it a good lesson; and also remember enough to make a good lesson. Gee, did that seem like deja vu, to you, too? :-\ Hey, Sterling! Yeah - ouch!

I started thinking back on all the "near misses" I've experienced, just as a child! Sheesh! All I can do is shake my head and thank God for that squadron of angels he had surrounding me! :-D Howdy, Mother Earth!

Yep, that curing thing... it's the waiting period from the initial pour to the time it reaches its full strength. And if you ever had to break up really old concrete, you should know it <i>never</i> stops hardening! You can draw quite a few parallels, both good and bad, from that, don't you think! :-) Hi Joanna!

My curiosity (and greediness?) once earned me a trip to the hospital, too...my mother found me cheerfully eating ant poison when I was a toddler. Apparently it looked like yummy peanut butter and tasted great. Why else would ants and little kids eat it? It broke her heart as they drove me to the hospital--I sang all the way, completely clueless about the fact they were going to pump out my stomach. Fortunately I was young enough that I don't remember anything about it. You sure do dredge up some old memories. Thanks! Forgot to thank you for the great story and topic!
