While tragic, I can't get too wound up about things like this. There has been an endless quest for safety for decades now. It is not psychologically healthy. It was completely different than when I was growing up. So much less to worry about because you never heard of about these things - it certainly was not national news.
I’m sure Elizabeth Warren or Diane Feinstein or Richard Blumenthal or some other liberal domo will introduce legislation to mandate federal licenses for treadmills.
😁 I actually loved that song back in its day.
I want them to design a new model called the Pelositon,, put Pelosi on it and turn up the speed .
So sorry for the kid though, Horrible. Who would do such a thing, no common sense?
Dislike Peleton because in their commercials the instructors on their vids call people “Peleton.”
“1 More, Peleton! You did it, Peleton!”
So glad that had a happy ending! Our town is having a huge animal shelter scandal. Don’t think I can take anymore depressing animal news.
Check your mail.
“Jane! Stop this crazy thing!”
At a stint at one location, a kid about 10 was mess'n with a treadmill.
I got his attention and shook my head NO.
Mom saw what I did and began to chew me out for the way I got the kid's attention (pisst!).
Meanwhile, kid thought he a had a green light from Mom to do as he pleased.
Kid turned the treadmill on to a good pace, bust'n his nose and bleeding all over.
I never said a word the entire time as the Mom hustled the bleeding kid out the door.
I did, thanks!
Message me about the ‘scandal.’ We have a no-kill shelter that we support. They have helped us find two lost dogs through the years. Good people.
The one and ONLY time my Dad ever smacked me in public was when we were in Sears, back when shopping there was AWESOME.
He, of course, had some Craftsman Tool Issue to resolve, so I wandered over to the sewing machines, just to see. Mom was just teaching me how to sew, so I thought I knew it all, of course. ;)
I was probably about 10 years old, too. Of course, he had TOLD ME not to wander off, but how exciting are tools to a 10yo girl? Not very.
I ended up ‘sewing’ the edge of one of my fingers (just flesh, not bone) into a sewing machine. The Lady Clerk was screaming, and Dad came running. I swear I saw blood coming out of his eyeballs when he saw that *I* was the cause of the fuss!
He unstuck my finger, and I got smacked a few times on the way out the door and into the parking lot, LOL!
I totally deserved it. :)
That is called a Dead Man Switch.
"Don't you ever Pisst my child!"
But mommy wants those "pepperoni thighs"...!
He knew how to parent! 😂
A year or so ago my wife bought an exercise bike. She set it up in the bedroom facing the TV.
I said, “Give it a few months and it will become a clothes hanger.”
She answered back, “Oh stop! It will not!”
Guess who was right? :)
Use it. When she sees you getting all healthy and everything, she’ll to the same.
....and likewise for octogenarian U.S. Senators...
He did! I miss him so much. He died this past May. Cancer, NOT Covid! I made SURE the Death Cert. was correct. ;)
He was a great Dad. I wanted for nothing. I was really lucky. :)
