No broken bones, no tonsillitis, no appendicitis, no illegal drugs, no smoking, never blacked out from drinking, no overnight hospital stays, no surgery bigger than dental work, and no sex up against a wall - pretty sure Llumnissa is going to beat me to that one.
About that - when a cop puts you up against a wall and tells you to spread your legs, it should be to search you for weapons, but that's not set in stone.
It's an age thing. Dentists can now apply treatments to kids' teeth that will virtually eliminate cavities for decades. There have always been some individuals who are naturally resistant, or who practice very meticulous oral hygiene, but recently entire generations are getting very effective long term prevention at the dentist's office.
Never smoked, as much as one puff. Never got drunk. Never been in a fistfight. Never been to western Canada (even though I have dreamed of seeing Alberta most of my life). Never rode in a helicopter. Never once regretted marrying my wife, or having the kids I have. Never had a broken bone. Never tried skydiving naked off the Eiffel Tower (ok, maybe that last one isn't real common...).
Re-reading this thread, it seems we've all got strong bones, cause Ansyc is like the tenth person to mention that one. I've dislocated my left shoulder twice, but broken bones? Never. I fact, no one in four generations of my mom's family has had so much as a sprain, which is pretty amazing, given the kinds of hijinxs she and my uncles would get into as kids.
Same here. Maybe breaking bones isn't as common as we think it is. To be honest, most of the province around where I am is basically flat land filled with farmer's fields with the occasional sunflower field to break up the monotony. It's the mountains that are truly amazing and make you glad you live here. Besides the mountains, the Drumheller Badlands are worth seeing, and also the oilsands in Ft. McMurray, if only for their environmental destruction and how man has the power to turn boreal forest into the Sahara.
The majority of the males I know have broken a few. Maybe it's the blue collar demographic, or military demographic. One classic was my stepdad - he fell three stories (construction accident) and on the way down his ankle got wrapped behind his head, breaking a few bones but protecting his head once he met the ground! Some would call that a miracle, some would call it a lucky break (no pun intended). One of my weirdest breaks - playing a game of "ultimate frisbee" during Army PT I took the edge of a frisbee to my hand (near the thumb) at point blank range! Everyone heard that impact, and subsequent cursing. At least I got to pick out the color of my cast within reason - I chose camoflage! Kids get to pick from all kinds of colors when they break bones, lucky shits.
Well, I'm pretty banged up but I have survived things I was not expected to survive. When I got the clots in 2002 and was told I needed surgery, I was also told I had five years without it. I would get pulmonary hypertension, my heart would swell and I would die. Ten years in and there is no sign of pulmonary hypertension, my heart is amazingly healthy and I have kidney failure on top of it and I am still kicking. I confuse a hell of a lot of doctors! Wordforgers: Tough in every way!
